"My time with Simon was truly transformative. It was insightful, thought-provoking, and helped me learn so much about myself. Through our sessions, I gained practical frameworks for tackling adversity, which has boosted my confidence and performance. I now focus on tasks that energize me, keeping my motivation high."

Liam - Supply Chain Leader

"Simon recently ran a workshop for my team. It was incredibly engaging and sparked great discussions. His approach quickly got the team on board, and several have since reached out for further development. Highly recommend for teams wanting to understand what’s important to them as individuals."

Hi, I'm Simon - EQ & Career Coach for STEM professionals

I know what it’s like to be a high-achiever early on….and still feel completely lost on how to move forward.

I was the PhD scientist who ticked all the boxes, landed the big corporate job, and still found myself thinking: “Is this it?"
Ten years in a global company later, I realised something brutal: technical excellence doesn’t guarantee progress.
In fact, it’s not even the thing that gets you promoted.

What’s missing?
Knowing your why. Emotional intelligence. Career strategy.
The stuff no one teaches you in a lab or a lecture hall.

That’s why I became a coach.

Today, I’m a double-accredited EQ-career coach who’s helped 100+ technically brilliant professionals go from “smart but stuck” to finally getting recognised — without burning out, selling their soul, or collecting yet another bloody qualification.
