Simone offers a style suits those that need a safe harbour to take time to reflect on their own performance and the environment they operating in. This is a difficult thing to create and by doing so you have given those working with you an opportunity to explore their own motivations and values and the impact their current environment has on them.

The world is a chaotic and hectic place and working at a senior level can have pressures, which are often hard to understand and can quickly in challenging times become unmanageable. By holding the mirror up and exploring you create an opportunity to understand, accept and thrive.

For me it is your passion and commitment to really making sure that the coaching services you offer have value and make a difference both for the individual and the organisation.

HR Director, Insurance

Simone coached me through a period of my career where I was facing a range of interesting situations, challenges and decisions.

Her thoughtful, sensitive but inquisitive approach encouraged me to ask some very deep and challenging questions about me, how I approach work and my communications style. Her approach is not one that provides you with the answers, but is challenging (in a friendly and professional way) and a naturally inquisitive one.

I made some real and genuine changes to the way that I think and act following these sessions, and this has made a real and positive difference.

Managing Consultant, Professional Services

Simone is a great listener and picks out my strengths from the discussion. She helps me to build confidence in my abilities - consider taking bigger steps than I may have done alone and she helps me to focus on my strengths.

Mandy
Senior IT Partner, Health and Care

I was coached by Simone during a period of quick progression during in my career where I wanted to work with someone to help me identify my unique strengths, focused areas of development and to challenge me in how I could be a better professional and people leader.

Trust is everything and Simone's approach builds a space where you can reflect and be supported, and even surprised at times, something that's only possible with the experience Simone brings to the discussion. Constructive challenge and accountability was important to me and Simone consistently delivered on this in our time together which meant I always felt like I was progressing and actions/achievements from previous sessions would build on each other, with thoughts and ideas being connected every time.

Simone's professional experience, natural charm and effective natural use of tools and approaches felt seamless in our sessions and helped me develop actions I could immediately implement post our meeting and others to progress over time without being overly directed to a solution - where the real skill of coaching lies.

Pat
Head of Communications and Engagement, Health and Care

Simone has been providing coaching support to our charity since 2016. I am one of a number of people benefiting from her coaching at Hospice for Hope and I am really grateful.

She is an active listener, using various techniques and questions in getting me to reflect and see things from a different perspective which have helped me to identify solutions, make strategic decisions and improve myself as a leader.

Her approach covers both practical/operational aspects but also organizational, cultural and leadership-related.

One of the many benefits of working with her is that she has helped me identify challenges before they had a chance to become real problems, allowing me to address them properly.

Simone is extremely skilled, experienced and is also flexible, discreet and allows you a lot of space, encouraging you to be creative.
