Big Knows - Macclesfield

Simon has been fantastic to work with. His patience, empathy, understanding, and the support he provides are perfectly weighted to your personal needs. He sincerely listens and takes his time to reflect before he pulls the best answers from you. He makes time for you, follows up to offer further guidance, and always ensures you are left in a good place. Very natural, very intelligent... an amazing asset to any individual or business. Everyone should have a Simon in their lives, I am very glad I do.

I first met Simon in 2023 through a course I was doing. We had many tutors/mentors who led various workshops over the few months we did the course but it was always Simon's sessions I looked forward to the most and were by far the best. He gave confidence, asked thought-provoking questions and encouraged me to push boundaries and think outside-the-box for my business. I have stayed in contact with Simon long after doing the initial course and always turn to him for helpful hints and tips and honest advice. He can't be more helpful and each time I speak to him I have a new, energised outlook on my business or any issues I thought I had. Being a woman and new to the industry, which can be perceived as male-dominated, Simon has massively helped my confidence and I feel lucky to have met him and continue using his mentoring expertise. He has been a massive support for me and my business. Thank you!

Simon's mentorship has been a true game-changer for my business. His infectious enthusiasm and sharp insights have been the driving force behind my company's recent growth.
Not only has he generously shared his vast wisdom through valuable business advice, practical tips, and insightful tricks, but he has also gone above and beyond by connecting me with crucial figures in the industry. These connections have been instrumental in laying a strong foundation for my business.
However, Simon's impact goes far beyond the professional realm. His genuine kindness and unwavering support have earned him a place not just as my mentor but as a trusted confidant, a motivator, and a true source of inspiration. I am incredibly grateful to have him as my guide.

A casual conversation with Simon led to a brilliant couple of days working together. My company was embarking on a significant European organisational structure change. Simon helped me and my team of Account Managers to understand the importance of Resiilence and how we can improve this to support us at times of change, and just as important, also in our everyday working lives. The session was fun, incredibly insightful, interactive and we all finished with a personalised plan of how we can understand our resilience and ultimately respect it and work with it in our daily lives. We loved working with Big knows. Thanks Simon you are an incredible human that everyone should know. Thanks.

Years ago, a brilliant friend in a bad work situation was coached by Simon and highly recommended him to me, but I was sceptical. I watched on as she changed employers, regained her mojo, and her confidence and career transformed.
Years later I found myself at crossroads, a fantastic job opportunity presented itself to me, But it would require more travelling time away from the family. I was unsure what to do, so I asked Simon to help me through my thinking.
I was amazed that an hour with Simon could make such a difference. He listened, Asked the right questions, Which helped me distil my priorities and make an action plan.

If I had an employer who would pay, Or I had more disposable income myself , I’d be making sure I had regular sessions with him .
But as I don’t so, I simply check in with Simon for a session periodically to keep myself on track, or whenever I need to talk through an issue in confidence.
he will coach me through the reflection, push me to consider all perspectives, support my confidence, so that I’m in the best shape to plan and implement my approach.
A session with Simon is always the best money I ever spent.
Thank you!

I can’t recommend working with Simon enough. As the sole managing director of my company, it can be a lonely place. Having the support of Simon has been invaluable, his positivity and enthusiasm have helped reduce my stress and anxiety when it comes to business and his techniques have helped me reframe problems (that would have previously consumed me) into exciting challenges. If you are a small business owner like me, reaching out to Simon will be one of the best things you do for both your business and yourself! Kath

I will be forever grateful for the coaching I have received from Simon. Simon’s ability to get the best out of people is truly incredible. He is authentic and challenging, in the most positive ways. Would whole heartedly recommend.

I had the pleasure of being introduced to Simon through a Help to Grow Management course and we connected from the get go.
As a women in a leadership role and having always suffered from crippling self doubt, negative self talk etc….he was able to lift me out of that narrative id created for myself and when those negative elements creep their way back in (as of course they inevitably do) all those conversations and tools and techniques Simon discussed with me come flooding back and I use them to get me back on track.
And the cherry on the top - he is such a respectful and endearing person and just has that ability to connect with anyone.
Can’t recommend him enough.
