Personal Impact:
Simon remembers from his Oxford University days the impact made by great speakers who visited the university from the world of business, from academia (of course) but also from politics and entertainment. At the time he assumed (wrongly!) that the impact they made was a gift rather than a skill!
Years later, in 2001, in his first job in a Senior Executive headhunting company, he fluffed a leaving drinks speech. This experience was so painful for him that he vowed to overcome it. Five years later he stood on the stage in Washington DC representing UK & Ireland in the World Championship of Public Speaking.
Since that time he has worked with more than 1,000 executives from over 100 countries all over the world and helped many others within 20+ countries during the last ten years.

"Simon is in a class of his own. He is public speaking."
Gerhard Mulder, 2017 Executive MBA Candidate, Said Business School, University of Oxford
"I was recently promoted into a role where public speaking and inspiring people has become more central to my ability to be effective.
I was amazed by how effective just one session was. I heard indirectly that my presentation had been particularly inspirational - one person even contacted the Director of my organisation to say how impressed he had been.
Without any exaggeration, I give all the credit for this success to Simon."
Esther Stevenson, Head of Africa, Christian Aid

"Simon's workshop on Creating Impactful Communications generated great feedback and a strong level of engagement with the audience.
It was clear that he understands just how to tackle a number of the communications issues that senior executives face throughout their careers.
He offered valuable insight and some clear messages that a broad range of participants could assimilate and easily apply to improve performance in their own particular business environment.
Thank you!"
Helen Stevens, President, Insead Alumni Association (UK)
"Working through this video program has made a huge difference to my speaking. After my conference presentation, I had so many executives telling me: 'I want you to come and work for my organization'. It just goes to show the power of impactful speech... I can't count how many people told me my presentation was THE best."
