I hired Simon so I could go paperless and streamline my systems. Ten minutes in to our first mentoring session I had to stop him and tell him, “What you just showed me will literally save me 4 hours per day. I think I might cry from joy!” Simon is a brilliant mentor, generous with his knowledge, responsive and supportive. Every professional who wants to de-stress their digital world needs Simon.

Simon delivered one of the best keynotes I’ve ever experienced in my life (and I’ve experienced a lot). He wasn’t there to reassure the audience—he was there to wake them up to the opportunities right in front of them. Not only was he humorous and engaging as a speaker—he was provocative.
Simon has a an excellent understanding of digital technology and how it can make all of our jobs easier and more productive. He is able to convey this knowledge in a clear and easy to understand way and he has made a significant difference to way I work. I now have more time every week – thanks to Simon.
Simon has challenged the thinking of a range of local government professionals to view digital technology in a new light by considering the range of potential uses and implications, both positive and negative. He is able to challenge personal perceptions and expose people to the latest advancements in a way that is engaging, thought provoking and often funny. Using an engaging and conversational style, he leaves his audience wanting more.
I engaged Simon to provide a digital focus to our strategic plan and challenge our people to think broadly about future possibilities for our organisation. Simon was excellent at balancing the fears of staff about the unknown, with pushing the boundaries and challenging us to do something different. Simon is generous, extremely knowledgeable and had fantastic ideas. I loved working with Simon and I look forward to other opportunities for us to work together.
