In the midst of day to day pressures faced by NHS staff, it was crucial to ensure that we delivered an impactful experience at our NHS Away day. Simon did exactly that. He delivered a tailored session to our requirements, drawing on his experience interviewing hundreds of the world's top sporting performers, coaches, psychologists and thinkers. The blend of neuroscience principles, practical examples and audience participation exercises, underpinned by Simon’s captivating storytelling abilities, natural charisma and pedigree as a professional presenter, made for a highly engaging session. Rarely have we had so many colleagues positively feedback on an external speaker and come away energised and armed with practical techniques to use as part of their day to day professional and personal lives. Simon is a pleasure to collaborate with a genuine and infectious passion for his area of work.

OWEN MARKS
“Simon led a fascinating and insightful conversation for our colleagues. Drawing on many lessons learned from the world of sport, psychology, industry and beyond, Simon was able to give inspiration for people to change coupled with practical approaches and ideas to maintain those changes. The feedback during and after the event has created a real buzz in Pfizer for our colleagues in the UK.”

ARCHIE YOUNG
“Simon gave a fascinating and lively talk to the team - combining insights, anecdotes and quotations from his catalogue of Don't Tell Me The Score interviews and his own research. In a wide-ranging conversation, Simon shared nuggets on purpose, values, resilience, stoicism, team cohesion, handling pressure, vulnerability and enjoying the journey: all valuable lessons for our work and for our lives outside of the office. Feedback was universally positive and it has prompted calls for more 'rebel ideas' (another of the topics covered!).”

JOHN TAYLOR
“Simon came into Fruit Towers (innocent HQ) and shared some great insights about leadership, personnel resilience and the importance of a growth mindset. The team really enjoyed the engaging and lively talk and we came away with useful learnings to take back into our day jobs. It also provided good diversity of thought from outside the world of smoothies & juice.”

BEN FALK
“It was a pleasure and honour to have Simon speak at our NHS leadership event. Simon's talk was engaging and informative, and left us all with so much to think about. As well as the theory, Simon gave us practical leadership advice that we can apply in our roles in the NHS. His informal style went down really well, and his injection of humour and anecdotes kept us all engaged. Feedback was overwhelmingly positive, but was best summed up by one of the delegates who simply wrote "…cracking talk from Simon"!”
NHS FOUNDATION TRUST DIRECTOR
ANDY SELLINS
“I would very much like to thank Simon Mundie for his excellent work at The Change Foundation's 40th Anniversary Gala Dinner. HIs professionalism, enthusiasm and ability to hold the attention of a large audience contributed greatly towards the event being such a success. He was also instrumental in allowing our varied panel, which included members of our organisation, alongside representatives from the worlds of sport and music, the platform to fully express their thoughts and feelings on how sport has impacted their lives, leading a lively on-stage debate which fully engaged the entire hall. Simon completely understood, appreciated, expressed and promoted the work of The Change Foundation in offering life-changing opportunities to marginalised and at-risk young people, at one of our most successful and important fundraising events”
CEO - THE CHANGE FOUNDATION
WILL HESEY
“It was really good to work with Simon at our 2019 Esquire Townhouse event where he hosted an onstage conversation with Sir Ben Ainslie, looking back at his life and career so far. I came across Simon via his insightful BBC podcast and he showed the same attention to detail and professionalism when preparing for our event. On the night he developed a good rapport with both Ben and the audience, which only added to a successful evening”
ESQUIRE
KRISTEN CULLEN
“We would like to extend our thanks to Simon, for speaking at one of our events of the year, for one of our leading clients. Simon was a pleasure to work with, very responsive, extremely in tune with our brief, and brilliant at both talking and listening to our client. Simon's session perfectly aligned with the theme of the event; it was enlightening, impactful thought-provoking, and the lessons are applicable to any work or life situation. Using real-life examples further brought these lessons to life. Our clients, the delegates, and the SBS team, were extremely happy and full of positive feedback for Simon; we highly recommend him for any event or speaking opportunity.”
SOME BRIGHT SPARK
AIMEE GOLDSMITH
“We briefed the production of a 7-part podcast series on mental health to Simon and he went above and beyond to deliver us a 8-part series that will resonate with our employees at P&G helping them to build resilience and thrive. From the creation of topics and the identification of experts through to the interviews of our employees and the different creative formats employed, Simon has been simply outstanding – keeping us appraised on progress and delivering against budget & timings. One of our employees who was interviewed reflected on her experience and shared these thoughts which perfectly captures the sentiment: “I’ve never done anything like the podcast or even shared my story with anyone really so it was a such a rewarding experience for me too – I hope it helps someone out there! Simon was so lovely and really made me feel comfortable so it was much easier to share our messages with the P&G community!”. We honestly could not be happier with the end result - a massive heart-felt thank you to Simon for this quality production.”
