I was working in a senior role in financial services and had come to a juncture in my career where I knew I wanted to make a change but was unsure of what that change looked like.

I didn’t want to throw my finance qualifications and experience away but at the same time I knew I wanted something different.

I found Simon to be approachable and insightful and easy to work with. We built rapport quickly and found his trusting down to earth approach refreshing and effective. Simon coached and motivated throughout the coaching assignment.

I would highly recommend Simon as a Career Coach. His approach, his ability to empathise, attention to detail and motivation levels are next to none.

Even now I reach out to Simon from time to time for advice things and I find him very warm, professional and approachable.

This career change has done wonders for me! I have been in this role for well over 5+ years and cannot thank Simon enough.
