I warmly recommended Simon as a speaker. He did a better than great job –
just the right tone and content for the occasion. The clients were delighted.
— Professor Richard Susskind OBE, Author ‘The Future of the Professions’

We engaged Simon to assist our Directors with strategy discussions. I was extremely impressed with how promptly and calmly he actioned our request for assistance, given the tight timeframes we were working with. He clearly knows his stuff around leadership and strategy in relation to law firms and is someone you feel comfortable talking with. Simon is someone you can trust with these important discussions, and we all look forward to continuing our relationship with him in the future.

Simon’s leadership of our recent planning workshop was invaluable. He skillfully elicited the views and aspirations of our Directors so that we have been able to clearly enunciate the objectives of the practice and thus enhance the contribution we can make to the lives of our clients, their families, our community and at the same time improve the work experience of our people.

I consider the practice review process to be well worthwhile. From a firm perspective, I gained clarity on what areas we should be focusing on and for whom. From a personal perspective, I feel energized for the future doing work I enjoy, for clients that I like working with and surrounded by a great team.

We engaged Simon to help us kick-off the next evolution of our practice. His approach was consultative and inspiring to the whole firm. Most particularly though was the thoughtful and insightful program he put together for us - it hit all the right notes even though it pushed us out of our comfort zone. I don’t hesitate to recommend Simon
