Case: High Potential Program

Renate O., Associate Director

Renate started her program as part of her employer’s High Potential Program. In five sessions, using the drives scan, we worked on her story and her pitch. The result: a stronger pitch about herself, more confidence in how she presents herself, and a firmer footing in conversations about her next steps.

“Simon helped me turn clarity into confident action, and that shift led directly to a promotion.”
Aline, Executive Assistant
“Simon helped me challenge self-limiting beliefs, gain a deeper understanding of my values, and develop the confidence to lead more authentically and effectively.”
Kanika, Head Group Banking Services
“Simon is observant, sharp, analytical, empathetic and strict when needed (and all of it wrapped in warmth and humor).”
Peter, lawyer and mediator
“Sharper insight into myself. Simon helped me get clear on what my priorities are and which choices suit me.”
Martine J., Managing Director
“He is both empathetic but able to tell the truth when needed. He helped me make the right choice at a key moment.”
Michael, Product Manager
“Simon’s enthusiasm really gave me a boost. He gave me confidence: you can do this, take that next step. There was also room to find some calm first, and after that I really started moving.”
Coachee
“Simon was valuable in helping me regain confidence and equipped me with insights on how to take action towards my goals. Working with Simon feels like a mentor that is providing you with grounded and thoughtful guidance, where the sessions feel like you’re having a natural conversation.”
M.P., Content Marketing Specialist
“A meaningful sharpening of my insight into who I am, what drives me and how I can move in the direction I want.”
