Known internationally for his work with the legal profession, Simon speaks to audiences from a range of industries. His versatility enables him to fill a number of important roles at events including keynote speaker and facilitator. In each role he makes a difference.
"Simon was the keynote speaker and facilitator at our Partners' Conference. He was well researched, well prepared, and his delivery was excellent. He put a huge amount into the Conference, and we took a huge amount away from it. Simon opened minds as well as eyes. We will certainly be continuing our relationship with him." - Managing Partner, Andrew M. Jackson, Hull, England
When the occasion calls, he also blends his unique legal, corporate and presentation background to deliver highly credible hoaxes that will not only fool your audience but will also have them in stitches!
"Given the limited time frame to prepare for your presentation, the depth of knowledge regarding our industry and products was all the more remarkable. Your impersonation was unforgettable and dare I say that the lasting memory that many of our delegates have is the fact that they have never laughed so much." - AIM Australia Pty Ltd, Melbourne
Whether the brief is serious or light, Simon draws on his considerable experience as a lawyer, court advocate, management consultant and professional speaker to deliver the right message at the right time. Accomplished at taking difficult briefs, he comprehensively researches the issues behind every presentation to ensure his message is customised exactly to meet each client's objectives.
