From my earliest days in my ‘corporate life’ at IBM, the creation and delivery of presentations and trainings has been a part of every role. The content of those sessions has altered, significantly, and my passion and commitment has intensified. Now, entirely focussed on ‘real’ health and wellbeing, and applying these corporate-learned skills, but drawing on my subsequent research, training and experience, I now get to plant seeds and empower my audience with information that is transformational. Potentially life changing. That role has been and continues to be deeply gratifying.

Presentations, workshops and information sessions created and delivered to date include:

• As a founding Board Member of the UK Health Coaches Association (the first of its type in the world) I helped create and coordinate two annual conferences, co-chairing and leading expert panel discussions and presenting in my capacity as Membership Director

• Professional Services Organisations’ Annual Conferences where I delivered physical and mental wellness-focussed training sessions and workshops to members

• In person and online workshops with and for women’s wellbeing groups to encourage mindful awareness of daily choices to support self care and better overall health

• Workshops delivered to customers of UK tier-one financial institution, NatWest, to de-mystify wellbeing, explain its foundations and then providing easy-to-apply tips and tricks to fortify individual health

• A fun wellbeing focussed presentation at UK tier-one retailer, Marks & Spencer, to add value to its guests insights on the night

• Interactive workshops delivered to senior school year groups in several UK independent girls schools to highlight the importance of mindful self-care and awareness, accompanied by simple measures open to the girls to empower them to take ownership of their health and wellbeing and its’ importance

• ‘Winter wellness’ presentations to parents at above schools to share simple ways to take care of their health even in the coldest months of the UK winter

• Creation and delivery of a presentation to support a balanced and healthy ‘body-image’ session to students, parents and teachers

And more.

Untangling the mysteries of ‘health’ can be difficult. Many are left with the confusion of conflicting advice. Thus my approach in all workshops and presentations is to keep it simple, to give insights as well as actional steps to take control of ‘self’, and ones own wellbeing. It is not about making sweeping changes to diet and lifestyle. It is about ‘tweaking’ daily decisions borne of deeper understandings of what drives health (and dis-ease). Setting out the foundations of wellbeing, providing easy-to-action steps to integrate whatever resonates and witnessing the results is powerful. Understanding the power of the mind, the language and the intention behind our thoughts and words is powerful. How we acknowledge and heal from trauma is powerful.

Every presenation is interactive, fun - so memorable - and lasting in the sense that participants are always left with ‘uhu’ moments.

My role as thought-leader and seed-planter is never lost on me. Especially when presenting to our younger generation. The importance of sharing information that might not otherwise be available to my audience, the ‘light bulb moments’ that I get to witness first-hand and the genuine appreciation that comes later, for simplifying (SIM-plifying 😉 ) health and wellbeing, is one of my greatest pleasures.

‘Simone ran a superb 2 hour session for my business clients covering topics such as Stress, Confidence and Healthy Fundamentals. You will have to find out for yourself directly the content but I can say that the feedback we received from the delegates was brilliant. "Inspirational" said one, "Knowledgeable and passionate speaker" said another. The best validation of Simone's knowledge and skills are what people take away and do. It is remarkable that my colleagues and customers are still practicing the "top tips" that Simone gave, which is many ways is a true testament to her ability as a personal coach. I am grateful to Simone for the time she spent with us and look forward to future successful events’.

‘You can tell that the girls have loved a presentation when they ask when the facilitator of the presentation will be back, as it finished and they are leaving the session. Such an information-packed workshop Simone. The girls loved it. Thankyou’

Are you contemplating creating a wellbeing event? Adding a wellness component to an annual conference? Providing an information-packed element to a corporate gathering?

Wanting to guide students to understand the power they have over their health and wellbeing and how to make better decisions on a daily basis, that fortify and build their REAL ‘core strength’?
