The first call simply lasts for up to an hour and allows us to get to know each other.

Pricing is usually discussed and agreed at, or after, this first free consultation/call. There is absolutely no commitment on your part at this point. As a potential client, you have nothing to lose by committing to the first call but much to gain, even if you never return after the first hour.

​

How does Simon differ from other coaches, mentors, consultants or advisors?

​

Unlike many coaches, mentors, consultants and advisors, I have been there through successful and tough personal times. I decided to move to an alcohol-free life in 2009 and have experienced significantly enhanced clarity of thought and sharper focus as a result.  I have driven through with deeper knowledge and a strong awareness of resilience, purpose and high-performance mindset capabilities. I now pass on these capabilities to others. I help unlock, build, sustain sustainable growth mindsets and awareness of potential and resilience within. 

 

I have been fortunate enough to have been mentored by Justin Caffrey, highly acclaimed and accoladed mindset coach, mindfulness teacher and business coach and my partner in Mindset & Mindfulness.

 

I am a 5-star author, former corporate lawyer & multinational CEO, successful entrepreneur, I have sat on 5 boards as non-executive director and have been featured on the BBC. I am a recognized global expert on negotiation, dealmaking, business, leadership, mindset and brand growth. I have also experienced business failure in the past but instead of focusing on the past, I have a deep ability to bounce back and achieve further enhanced levels of success and also personal satisfaction.

​

Do you want to be coached by someone who has never taken business risk, who has never pushed themselves, or who has never experienced self-made success?

​

How does Simon live his life?

​

Having reached a personal spiritual and emotional ‘rock bottom’ in 2009 and rebuilt his life since then:

​

• Simon has lived an alcohol-free life since 2009.

​

• Simon has been mentored by Justin Caffrey since early 2018 to meditate each day effectively and has been a continuous full member of a global wellness program since 2009.

​

• Simon regulates his sleep, maintains a healthy exercise and diet regime, and practices an attitude of honesty and gratitude.

​

• Simon plans each day to apportion his time between a) his work as a coach & mentor, consultant and advisor, trainer and facilitator, speaker and media host b) mind-based activities including wide reading and writing (Simon writes books, articles, courses, blogs and social media), c) his activities as a business investor, landlord and entrepreneur, and d) his time as a husband and father to two daughters.

​

• Instead of theorising and talking about business, leadership, personal and brand growth, Simon lives and breathes each of these daily.
