"Byron created a development programme for our business leaders...This has been a real success for us thus far.  Byron’s insight into the individual’s particular attitudes & their impact on the team dynamics was critical for us in this... in my experience, his uniqueness comes in his assessment of the individuals & their fit/capability – not just the rollout of the leadership training. "

I was particularly hooked on Simon’s technique of setting impactful goals with measurable targets. This has served as a gentle nudge to keep pushing me forward. As a consequence, I’ve been making ‘thoughtful adjustments’ to myself in the areas of foundational leadership behaviours and relationship management. Simon definitely has had a positive impact on me and I’m truly grateful to him for this fruitful association."

CPO, HK Fintech

"Simon has worked with me for over 3 years as my business coach and had been very helpful providing alternative perspectives and challenging my thinking. Simon’s input has positively contributed to my development not only professionally, but personally in successfully designing significant restructures, developing growth strategy, honing my time management and navigating organisational politics. I recommend Simon to any senior executive looking for coaching support from an experienced, disciplined, fact based and very personable professional."

EGM, Australian not-for-profit

"Simon brings an unwavering commitment to action-led advice; each interaction culminated with clear, tangible steps that Simon would ensure remained a priority. The real evolution in our talks came when we moved from just discussing my current role to planning out my whole career path. Throughout this journey, Simon's ability to calmly listen with genuine intent, critically analyse, and succinctly summarise our discussions has been invaluable. His insights offered fresh perspectives and ensured I was always focusing on the bigger picture. For anyone on the lookout for an ally in their professional journey, I would certainly recommend Simon."

CIO, HK Listed Company

"I've worked with Simon for the past 18 months. Not having had an external coach before I was somewhat unsure of the benefits and how to approach the discussions. The discussions and topics have evolved naturally based on what was important to me at the time, Simon has never imposed himself or tried to take the lead. What he has done has been to hold me accountable for commitments I have made. We discuss, debate options but the decision is always mine."

CFO, Australian Corporate

"Simon was recommended to me at a time when I was at the crossroads of my career path.  His depth of experience coupled with his insight as a coach proved to be an excellent combination. He took the time to listen, understand my values and perspective, provide alternate points of view, and ask questions that not only challenged my thoughts but helped me to gain clarity in my thinking. He provided both a strong framework and critical thinking to ensure I consider every perspective and point of view to enable me to uncover the optimal outcome.  I am grateful to have met Simon, and to have had the pleasure of working with someone who is a very good listener, critical and insightful. I would strongly recommend Simon without hesitation to anyone who is looking to move their career to the next level." 


MD, COO, Private Bank, Asia

"Simon combines a calm and empathic manner, many years of experience in complex and demanding roles, and above all a profound interest in people. His ability to navigate systematically through challenges in a patient and unruffled way is remarkable. I wouldn’t hesitate to work with him again."

Founder, Mediation and Coaching Practice, London

"Dr Kellie has been nothing short of outstanding when she led our Women’s Wellbeing workshop. She was engaging, factual, and inspired our high-performing, female corporate athletes to become better individuals by proactively watching their health and sleep performance. She also brought insight into our daily habits and provided personalised tips for our team. She truly cared for us and took the time to coach us to become better individuals. In today’s workaholic culture, it’s a breath of fresh air to have Dr Kellie remind us on the fundamentals of life - 'Exercise is Performance. Sleep is Performance!"

Chief of Staff - Global Fintech

"Dr Kellie skillfully took a group of hesitant blokes through a pragmatic and engaging discussion on the importance of men’s’ health. The simplicity in the messages provided by Kellie drove the participants conversations to ‘I’ve always known I need to do more about my own health and this has provided me with the push to get serious and do something about it!’"
