Our Testimonials
We have been lucky enough to work a number of fantastic clients, here are a few who have been happy to allow their testimonials to appear on our web site.
Simon worked with us and added tremendous value in our quest to create a high performing team. I was very impressed with his understanding of the business and my needs, his knowledge of teams, and his differing perspectives and high level of empathy. Through his strong ability to facilitate and with a very commercial compass he enabled us to work through a vision for future finance and a common set of "way we work" principles where each senior team member had to hold each other to account. Simon's style was refreshing, and though he had done thorough preparation ahead of this he has an ability to change direction as required to bring the best out of the team and out of individual conversations. He created a challenging but safe environment.
Director of Programme & Change, Specsavers
Simon's calm manner and intelligent insight into learning, developing and coaching is second to none. He instils trust and gets results. I would highly recommend him for team building, developing leadership skills, coaching people through challenging experiences or simply to help get the best out of individuals and teams at any level.
CEO, Springboard UK
Simon has a super ability to really listen to the brief at hand, show his understanding of this and challenge my own thinking while always remaining commercially focused. My first session with the whole team was a really important intervention and through Simon's facilitation skills and his "on the money techniques" it enabled myself and my team to become really clear about our team purpose, a purpose that everyone was 100% committed to and also through Simon's persistence everyone became absolutely clear in a collaborative way on who in the team did what.
Chief Information & Transformation Officer at PortmanDentex
I would highly recommend Simon for his Coaching Services, we recently commissioned Simon to undertake some Coaching with one of our Senior Leaders and the unsolicited feedback I received from our Leader about their coaching experience was immeasurable. I cannot underestimate the value Simon brings with his coaching style. As well as positive feedback, what was even more noticeable was the positive difference that I and the Line Manager observed in their confidence, all round being and behaviours, Simon's coaching has enabled them to fulfil potential we knew they had and improve their team’s performance and engagement in a time where the business is experiencing huge challenges.
