Sanaz Kalantari – Skills & Training Leader, Sydney, Australia

• “Simon helped me get clear on how my own unhelpful stories were impacting my balance. Some of my challenges were coming directly from the pressure I was putting on myself that was created out of a fear of uncertainty.”
• “Simon helped me become more self aware of my own thoughts and expectations and how they were impacting my success – breaking down my challenges into smaller pieces where I could focus and find practical solutions. I was able to let go of unnecessary and unhelpful thoughts and beliefs which were draining my energy and instead focus on the changes that I wanted to make and create step by step plans.”
• “As a result of our sessions, I was able to focus on what was important and achievable, and I was able to redefine success in a way that made me more fulfilled. I have made many changes that have also been sustainable in life. I have become clear and have made so much progress towards my personal and professional goals.”
• “Simon is great at creating a safe space and supporting me to think through the challenges that I am facing. What I find valuable is how he keeps me on track and accountable for what my goal is and why this is important for me. He is great at listening and putting a structure to the conversation which has helped me tremendously in getting clarity and to be able to move forward.”

• “The coaching sessions helped me a lot to understand the actual root cause of my problem. Prior to working with Simon, I was not able to identify why I was going through ‘imposter syndrome’. During the first sessions, we were able to put words to the actual cause and in the following sessions we worked on how to implement changes to overcome them.”
• “The results of the sessions were to help me a lot to (i) be myself as a person and as a manager in the organisation, (ii) gain confidence, and (iii) focus on what I was good at. Ultimately it enabled me to drive incredible changes in the organisation in just 6 months that I hadn’t been able to drive in the previous 1.5 years.”
• “Having gone through those sessions definitely impacted other parts of my life. Being a better contributor to the organisation brings a feeling of happiness and achievement that ultimately has a positive impact outside of work. Also getting rid of imposter syndrome and understanding the root cause of it impacts any kind of activity in my life.”
• “The most valuable part was that Simon was able, through the quality of questions/challenges, to push me to find the root cause of my issue and the solution to it by myself. He was not telling me what to do, but guiding me to find what I should do. I guess without this process those sessions would not have been a long term learning experience for me. I would recommend it to anyone.”
