Simon Foster
Simon likes to encourage clients to look at issues another way, finding that approaching things from a different perspective often highlights alternative solutions to unblock the problem. He has particularly enjoyed working with people who feel that they have reached a frustrating plateau in their career, as well as helping them transition smoothly into a new role. He has also worked extensively with individuals to help them understand their own leadership style and how to use this constructively with their teams, peers and stakeholders for maximum business results.
