Supporting sporting professionals and midlife executives to unlock their potential and create a life they feel proud of.

So you are considering working with a personal development coach?

Life can feel overwhelming at times – challenges to overcome, changes to navigate, and dreams that feel just out of reach. Whether you’re a business owner, a midlife executive, or someone facing a big life transition, it can be hard to know where to start.

At Worth Talking, I offer a compassionate, non-judgmental space where you can pause, reflect, and reconnect with yourself. Together, we’ll explore your challenges, hopes, and dreams, building the clarity, confidence, and connection you need to create a life you feel proud of.

What is personal development coaching?

Personal development coaching is like having a conversation with a good friend who really wants to see you succeed. It's all about figuring out what's important to you, where you want to go in life, and what's been stopping you from getting there. Together, we'll chat about your goals, tackle the big or little challenges in your way, and come up with a plan that feels right for you. It's not about giving you advice from a textbook - it’s about listening, understanding where you're coming from, and helping you see and use the strengths you already have. Whether you’re feeling stuck, looking for a change, or just need someone to help you see things clearly, personal development coaching is your stepping stone to a more satisfying life.

Personal Development Coaching for Lasting Success

I believe that everything starts with the relationship we have with ourselves. When we understand who we are, what’s important to us, and what motivates us, we unlock the potential to live with purpose and fulfilment.

I’ll help you:

  • Gain clarity about who you are and what matters most to you.
  • Build a strong foundation of self-awareness and self-identity.
  • Work through challenges with a supportive partner by your side.
  • Create a roadmap to achieve your goals – no matter how big or small.

You don’t have to have it all figured out. You just need to take the first step – and I’m here to take it with you.

Key Benefits of Working With a Personal Development Coach

Getting help from a personal development coach is like having a chat with a friend who's great at sorting things out. They're there to cheer you on and help you see what you're really good at. You'll figure out what you want to do, set goals that actually excite you, and learn straightforward ways to overcome challenges. It’s about feeling more sure of yourself and clear about your next steps. Whether you’re dealing with big life changes or just want everyday to feel a bit better, a coach can help you get there more smoothly and with a lot of support.

"Simon’s warm and approachable demeanour made it easy to engage openly, and his thoughtful guidance was both insightful and inspiring. The session not only offered me a deeper understanding of my personal motivators but also provided practical strategies to align my business and professional pursuits with environments that bring out my best."
Danielle Phillips, VA Solutions

"I cant recommend him enough to anyone going through a change or in need of a fresh perspective. From our discussions, Simon was able to ask me questions and challenge me in areas I thought I already knew all the answers- but through the sessions I was able to learn more about myself and what I really wanted out of my life and career. Simon recently reached out to check in after he discovered I got a new role, which really sums up the type of person he is. He is genuinely invested in my success and development."

Frederick Whelan, Head of Building Services, PureHydrop Environmental Technologies

Why Worth Talking?

Because the conversations we have – with ourselves, with others, and with our future – shape our lives.

At Worth Talking, I bring compassion, understanding, and a focus on what truly matters: helping you connect with yourself and what’s most important to you. Using tools like Motivational Maps, DISC Profiling, and reflective coaching exercises, I’ll help you:

  • Discover what drives and inspires you.
  • Overcome self-doubt and limiting beliefs.
  • Build the confidence to take action, even in the face of challenges.

I’m not here to tell you what to do or who to be. I’m here to listen, support, and help you uncover the answers that are already within you.

What You’ll Walk Away With

  • A stronger relationship with yourself.
  • The tools to navigate challenges and transitions with clarity and resilience.
  • A sense of connection to your life, your goals, and your future.

This is about more than just achieving success – it’s about creating a life you feel proud of and connected to.

What Our Clients Say

Simon came to MediServices in January 24 to run a half day wellbeing workshop for the staff. The event was very well received and the feedback from the team was positive. The team talked about events that could lead to increased stress and would fill their 'stress buckets' and coping mechanisms that they could use from their 'resilience backpack' amongst other things. The morning was inciteful and helped to strengthen the team bond. Simon is very easy to get along with and works with you to put together a relevant programme. We are looking forward to our next workshop later in the year!

Business Operations Manager | MediServices Healthcare Ltd

Before I started working with Simon I was struggling to clear the fog in my head and see things clearly. Our coaching sessions have enabled me to offload what’s going on in my life, clear the fog and feel like I am in control again. There are many people in my life that "hear" what I have to say, there are very few the truly listen to what I have to say but Simon hears and discusses everything with you and therefore helps clear paths in the thinking process.

Seeing Simon is often the highlight of my week, I feel comfortable talking about anything and nothing is off the cards.

Shaun Chittendon

Technical Director | iTinyK Ltd

Simon has proved to be a breath of fresh air as a professional coach for me! His unique approach is empathetic, while at the same time gently challenging as well as following what I would describe as a logical format.

He has the knack of bringing out the best in people while helping you learn what needs to be done to move you forward towards your goals.

Coming from a technology background and having been involved in sports enables Simon to work with me in a use of time. And being involved in sports, we both played rugby at a local club level, which means that we both understand how working together on the same project motivates people.

If you are looking for a coach that doesn’t sound like they have just finished a coaching course, then Simon fits the bill.

Tony Shepherd

Managing Director | Christian Doppler Consulting

Simon is a wonderful person to sit and talk to. His knowledge of assisting with getting a clearer view of your goals and working through obstacles in the way are invaluable on a personal and corporate level. Simon has been a great asset in helping the team at iTinyK with their individual requirements.

Joanne Chittendon

Simon has a gentle, encouraging and supportive nature where his empathy really comes to the fore to help Motivate and inspire you to unlock your fullest potential in life. Highly recommend

Evie Whitehead

Business Owner | Evie Nutrition

I recently completed a business/management course and through this I was given one to one sessions with Simon as my business mentor. Simon is so friendly and easy to talk to and he helped me to overcome a few situations that our business was facing. He also coached me with my personal development to utilise the skills that I have and supported me in having the confidence to develop new skills for the future.

Nicola Copeland

Practice Manager | Cherry Court Dental Care

I have known Simon for a very long time and he was the first choice for me when a client asked for some coaching. They were looking to bounce back after Covid lockdown and create incremental growth in revenue and overall well-being. Simon helped create action plans for each of their employees and through 121 sessions, track against those plans.

The results have been amazing +16% increase in overall well-being, +12% increase in Productivity and -46% reduction in anxiety/stress related absence.

It’s always a risk when taking on someone to work with your own clients but I never had any doubts about Simon. His approach is collaborative, compassionate and constructive. A very knowledgeable and supportive guy and I will continue to use him as and when the need arises.

Craig Ing

Managing Director | DMG Ltd

During lockdown I experienced a number of major transitions in both my personal and professional life, which left me feeling lost and low in confidence. I reached out to Simon to help me process my anxiety and tackle the challenge of growing my new business under the most difficult of circumstances.

Simon sought to understand my situation and helped me come up with actionable solutions that kept me moving towards the business and lifestyle that I wanted.

Throughout the process Simon has been authentic, empathetic and non-judgemental when I have needed to offload my stress, as well as an insightful sounding board as I progress towards my personal and business goals. He helped me identify and prioritise the main pain points in my life/business, using Motivational Maps and Personal Development coaching, so that I could set meaningful goals to work towards.

In the months since I started working with Simon I have stabilised my personal finances, achieved clarity on my business direction and reclaimed some self confidence.



Emma Suckling

Working with Simon has given me a clear direction and helped me focus on what's important in my life. The motivational map exercise was very revealing and insightful, it helped me understand myself better. The regular coaching has reduced my stress levels and given me a toolkit of techniques that will be used throughout my life.

Steve Boyce

Managing Director | CLD Ltd

I’m was in a place, mentally, that I never thought I’d be in. A colleague me put in touch with Simon. After I number of one to one sessions I can honestly say I’m feeling back to normal again.

Simon was a brilliant on each session. He listened intently and provided a different perspective which undoubtedly helped me rationalise why I was feeling like I was.

Once I got my head around why I was feeling like this he gave me the tools to help me get back to my old self.

I can’t thank Simon, enough.

Rob Brindley
