SIMONE AS A LEADER
Success for Simone is defined not by conventional metrics like job titles or wealth, but by the positive impact she has on others. She believes in using her leadership role to make meaningful changes and drive progress, particularly in the realm of creating supportive and inclusive work environments. Her leadership philosophy emphasizes the significance of nurturing talent, fostering a positive work culture, and ensuring sustainability in business practices, reflecting her commitment to both personal and professional growth.
Leadership is not about power.
Great Leaders inspire.
The future of leadership is human-centric.
When I think of a leader, I think of impact.
THE BEHAVIOURS YOU WALK PAST, ARE THE BEHAVIOURS YOU ACCEPT.

SIMONE ON CREATING HUMAN-CENTRIC WORKPLACES
Simone is passionate about creating workplaces that prioritize the human experience. With a focus on employee well-being, workplace culture, and organizational performance, she uses data insights to drive change in areas like culture, space, process, and technology. Simone’s philosophy is detailed in her book, "The Human-Centric Workplace," where she explores how workplaces can help people, communities, and the planet thrive. This approach not only improves employee satisfaction and productivity but also aligns with broader social and environmental goals.
SIMONE ON OVERCOMING BIAS AND PROMOTING INCLUSION
Simone has faced significant challenges as a woman, introvert, and member of the LGBT community from a council estate in Northern England. She has tackled these biases by staying focused and finding a supportive community. Simone actively mentors six individuals and serves as a non-executive director and advisory board member, contributing to the development of the next generation of leaders. She advocates for unconscious bias training in recruitment and leadership to promote a more inclusive and diverse workplace. Her efforts emphasize the importance of recognizing and addressing bias to create equal opportunities for all.
MY EXPERIENCES AND MY VALUES. I NEVER WANT ANYBODY TO FEEL LIKE I ONCE DID IN THE WORKPLACE BECAUSE OF POOR LEADERSHIP AND TOXIC CULTURE.
