James, Consultant, Manchester

James was bored by his job. He was following the default path, the one that made money but didn't make him happy. By the end of the programme, he had committed to quitting, travelling, and setting up a business as a consultant and coach to help people. 

"Before I had coaching with Simon I was feeling unclear on my future goals & how I would be able to fully commit to making those happen. I would have a lot of ambition but struggle to put this into action.

The challenge I was facing was a fear of failure. This is something I had not realised until working through it with Simon. I learnt that the reason I had never failed at anything was because I had never truly tried. This led to procrastination and then moving on to another loosely shaped goal.

Simon supported me by giving me the space to talk & explore my own thoughts, supporting me when needed & also providing that crucial challenge. Outside of the sessions, he would be available to message & actively encouraged me to check in with him throughout the process.

Throughout the journey, I learned a lot about myself, things that I never expected to learn. Simon made this happen by digging beyond the surface area and finding real reasons for my actions.

Now I feel like I have a lot more clarity in my goals & crucially I feel more determined than ever to make them happen. I now commit regular time to my goals, watch less TV & work on myself. I know this will pay dividends in the future and I know my time with Simon has pushed my development on 10X faster than I could have ever managed alone."
