"At the very beginning of my tenure, he worked with me to help form my management team. I found his facilitation style incredibly effective at making sure that individual members of the team felt comfortable expressing where they were at personally and what issues they saw in what we were trying to accomplish. As a result of Simon’s facilitation, we were able to address these issues and to move forward successfully."

“Changes to my management style have been most noticeable to myself and my colleagues. I am no longer as directive or dogmatic in the way that I deal with others, as I had been. Overall my people management skills have made a significant step forward and my Annual 360 Behavioural Performance Review rated my "Developing Others" capability as "exemplary and a role model to others.”
