EGM, Australian not-for-profit
"Simon brings an unwavering commitment to action-led advice; each interaction culminated with clear, tangible steps. 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 a 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’s 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. 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 had the pleasure of working with someone who is a very good listener, critical and insightful. I would strongly recommend Simon without hesitation"
MD, COO, Private Bank, Asia

Founder, Mediation and Coaching Practice, London
"Simon's coaching has supported me extensively in my career-based decision making, and selection of the right courses of action. His approach has helped me to really hone and articulate my professional competencies and attributes, and convey these in a compelling manner. Simon has also been willing, selectively, to share insights and provide a measured and balanced perspective with an equal measure of tact and frankness. One of his key skills is his innate ability to apply candid logic to situations I am confronted with - helping me navigate and achieve the best outcome. In sum, Simon is a completely first rate coach and leadership advisor.!"
Managing Director - Operations and Technology, International Bank
"I began working with Simon as I took the helm of a tech startup in SEA. I was feeling the pressure, keeping our board and investors happy while projecting confidence to our employees. Simon helped me become a better CEO, understanding the context at critical junctures and helping me think through how to handle thorny issues. I have always appreciated Simon getting to know our personal context as well, as a means to provide balanced advice that touches across the personal and professional. My NPS is a 9, and I would certainly work with him again in whatever I do next (if he still has space!).’"
