Are you where you want to be?

I was early in my career and struggling with many different career paths within my clinical work. Simon created a safe space for open dialogue, and through guided reflections I uncovered my core values and strengths, which helped me set boundaries and prioritize what mattered. I highly recommend this coaching process to fellow doctors seeking balance and fulfillment.

I really appreciated how he listened — not just as a coach but as someone who understands the unique pressures of working in medicine. Simon normalized the sadness and emotional weight that can come with this job, and reassured me these feelings are part of the work we do.

I started coaching while transitioning from residency to practice, studying for my licensing exam and moving across the country. Simon's line of questioning and reflective practice has been grounding during a time of professional growth. I liked that he was an EM physician and would understand me.

Simon creates a rare kind of safe place, one where clear thinking, honest self-reflection and discovery can happen. He helps me say out loud what I need, while challenging me to explore experiences more deeply, so I can notice what lies underneath both my struggles and successes in leadership. Coaching sessions are like pausing to look into a pool while navigating a tough journey. Sometimes the reflections are hard to make out, but as Simon helps keep the water calm and my gaze steady, I find clarity for my priorities and next steps. A vital and revitalizing process for which I am grateful.

Our work together made me feel more comfortable and even excited about uncertainty, and brought clarity to complexity. I found Simon's calm demeanour and willingness to ask tough questions very helpful in determining my priorities.

I tend to be anxious with change and drag old, unhelpful narratives into new experiences, sabotaging my own success. I found Simon's approach, focused on mindfulness, a game changer — I learned the value of pausing and bringing more presence and self-compassion when taking risks.

Working through the pandemic while becoming a new dad created challenges I didn't feel equipped to tackle on my own. Simon's coaching helped me identify my priorities at this stage of life, and helped me find the right questions to ask in order to move forward.

I was struggling to find work-life balance as many things were changing in my life. Simon guided me to go deeper and find my direction, and challenged me to find my own voice and have the courage to follow it.

He created the space for me to express, acknowledge and celebrate what is important to me. Working with Simon has helped me stand more firmly in what I know, what I want my life to look like and be like — I still refer back to his perspectives when I stumble.

He helped me tease out the barriers I was experiencing, which were mostly self-imposed. He was always supportive but at the right moments challenging: he did not gloss over difficult points and pushed me to find truth in my situation.

Simon's abilities as a coach are a natural extension of his character. Inquisitive, caring, non-judgemental, and thought-provoking. A master at helping you find your way.
