This is what some of our clients say …
Working with Simon was easy as he is personable and communicates really well. He does challenge you and pushes you to come up with solutions which at the time is uncomfortable, but after reflecting feels as if you have successfully hurdled a ten-foot wall. Would I recommend Simon as a Coach, 100% yes. I looked forward to all of our sessions and enjoyed our side chats to get to know one another. It was good to know Simon as a real human and not simply as a ‘coach’. With thanks to the work we did together in our sessions, I now look how and what I focus on and what is really important in my work.
A professional coach who draws out of you the actions and activities that you need to achieve to move to the next level of delivery based upon your needs and aspirations. Once a sceptic, I am I believe now operating with a more strategic mindset that is benefitting the organisation, my colleagues and myself. Thank you.
Simon is engaging and easy to talk to. He easily navigates at various levels and has the rare skill of leveling the room (whether real or virtual) when facilitating among a wide range of abilities. Simon is naturally curious and innovative, always in quest of new ways of thinking, understanding, and communicating. As a coach and supervisor, this translates into asking insightful questions and challenging you to think differently.
I have known Simon for well over 10 years now and throughout that time I’ve benefited a huge amount from his tremendous knowledge and experience in the coaching space. I admire his passion as a coach and his generosity to share and engage other coaches in their growth and development. Most recently I’ve invested in Simon’s supervision group and enjoyed great value from each meeting. Some of the skills I respect the most in Simon’s supervision, are his ability to empathise and encourage, be silent and allow each person space, yet challenge and enable deep insight and learning. I would highly recommend anybody to work with Simon either as a coach or supervisor.
