Education
Experience
While I have always enjoyed consuming information from books and articles within the field of personal development, it wasn’t until 2006 before the journey to where I am today ‘officially’ began.
You see, it’s not like I sat down one day, took the cap off my pen and wrote down on a sheet of white paper: “I want to be a coach and help others accomplish amazing things with their lives!” As they say, sometimes opportunity has a mysterious way of presenting itself to us.
After landing multiple offers from City institutions for a 10-week summer internship (eventually converting one into a full-time offer) – just months after having failed my second year of university and having to resit that year, I began coaching students on how they could land the jobs they wanted regardless of their background.
I’ve always enjoyed helping and inspiring people and as a result, I got plenty of satisfaction from doing this. In particular, the happiness I felt from witnessing some phenomenal transformations (e.g. taking a student who considered himself ‘shy, alien to the job hunting process and not the most confident person,’ to landing five offers in under eight weeks) confirmed that this was an avenue I had to pursue!
Over time, I began coaching people on other areas of their life, getting more clients through word-of-mouth and deciding to further my knowledge and skills by getting qualified with The Coaching Academy. I continue to develop myself and through the work I do, aim to share with you the very best of what I’m living and learning.
I believe that there is no end to our education; in fact, our whole life is a process of learning in a world that I like to consider a classroom with limitless possibilities.
Since beginning this journey, I’ve had the privilege of working with a wide variety of clients: from students to senior management and from actors to business owners. While each, just like you, come from different backgrounds and have their own interpretations of success, they all share one thing in common. That is, a burning desire for change and an ambition to realise some truly amazing visions.
The fact that you are here reading this, means that you already have some, if not all of these desires and are ready to begin taking massive action towards turning your thoughts into reality. If you like the sound of this, then I invite you to join the tribe by clicking here.
To Your Success!

Interests
Recommendations
Simon is a confident coach and consequently inspires confidence in his clients. His coaching has helped me to not only focus on clear goals and actions, but also, through his use of questioning and motivational scales, has helped me to assess my level of motivation to complete tasks and to establish how I will feel when I have reached my goals. This has helped me to maintain focus at times when my motivation has not been as high as it should be. He has helped me to keep on track with growing my business and with completing my own coaching studies.

I got a call last Sunday offering me the job and now I’m going back to Tripoli to take it up! I’ll be starting at the end of this coming weekend. I will definitely be using your services again and will be recommending you to others.

Coaching sessions with Simon have helped me in terms of raising my awareness of the possibilities and options available. They have also helped me with the motivation levels in achieving my goals. Overall, Simon has proven very skillful in drawing up my strengths by asking the right questions and always keeping the sessions on a positive note.

The coaching experience with Simon was very empowering. Simon was supportive and had a very assuring method in handling the issues that I was struggling with. Through a process of questioning, Simon was able to make me realise my potential in tackling my issues and finding the right answers for myself. His approach was very professional and yet friendly, and I always looked forward to our sessions. By the end of each, I felt very clear about where I stood and what I needed to do next in achieving my goals.

Simon is thoughtful, patient and an incredible coach. He has been supportive and professional in guiding me to focus on the issues I need to act on to move forward in my development. Working with Simon was as enjoyable as it was helpful. He is perceptive, insightful, easy to build rapport with and a highly skilled coach, who has helped me to gain clarity on some of my ideas and thoughts that were previously unclear.
[Juliet A / School teacher]
The topics that I have covered in my sessions with Simon have been extremely varied, but all have had a very positive effect in moving me towards achieving my goals. Simon is very easy to talk to and is a great listener. He notices when confidence and motivation levels fluctuate, and has helped me to sustain the motivation to progress with my Diploma and other goals. As well as having a list of actions to complete, to help me more towards my goals at the end of each session, I also always felt that I had learned something new about myself. All in all, I have had a very positive experience being coached by Simon, as evidenced by the goals I have set and achieved.

Between September and November 2012, I was coached by Simon as I began the process of interviewing for jobs. The experience of having him as a coach was truly fantastic! He listened carefully to all my answers and provided some very insightful feedback; I learnt how to structure my answers to particular questions, as well as how to tackle some of these in a “storytelling” way.
My confidence also improved drastically as I began to understand how to pitch myself in an effective manner. The sessions were truly inspiring and I will be grateful for the fact that I was able to work with Simon during such an important period for me! Without him, I would not have been able to achieve the success that I did in such a short time and have already recommended him to a few friends of mine, who I know will benefit from what he has to offer.
