Alignment Coaching - Simon J. E. Drew | Podcast Host | Coach

COACHING WITH SIMON

My coaching method is simple: human communication with the common goal of becoming wiser, stronger, better human beings. I listen to you and I tell you the truth as I see it, I ask questions that provoke deeper thinking, and I draw upon wisdom from past and present. Sometimes we'll talk about practical personal development techniques, and sometimes we'll philosophise and search for meaningful answers to tough questions that you're wrestling with. If you've listened to my podcast or read my work and you trust my judgement then you can book a free initial conversation with me via the button below. I'm looking forward to meeting you!

Client Reviews

If you are looking for a plainspoken, philosophical and deeply practical guide — Simon is your man. Our time together has created an immense amount of clarity about my goals, and the insight and motivation to effectively pursue them. All with a foundation in philosophical virtue, not ego and materialism. I have referred several friends to Simon and will continue to do so.

Simon has all the traits of an excellent life coach; he is an active listener and gives me the time and space to say what I needed during our sessions. His coaching approach is not prescriptive, but I've always left the session with a clear idea of what I need to work on afterwards.

Simon is a very wise, kind and gentle soul. He is so easy to talk to. In my sessions with him I have felt inspired and challenged. He gives me practical advice and tasks to do to help me along my journey. I'm very grateful.

I’ve been working with Simon for about a month and a half and can’t overstate how much of a positive impact it’s had on my day-to-day life and my overall well-being. Working with Simon personally I’m given practical tools, but customized and tailored for my own personal life and situations.

I started working with Simon at the start of this year and it has been awesome to have a dialogue with someone so dedicated to helping other people excel. It’s rare to get candid feedback on one’s direction in life and Simon has been able to provide that in a way that both prompts me to think critically and encourages me to keep striving.

The Philosophical Way

In order to help my clients to move closer toward their own personal ideal, I often focus on three core elements of being which have informed humanity since the dawn of time:

Nature

Human beings are not divorced from Nature, but rather we are formed by and encapsulated within Nature. As I guide my clients to pay close attention to their external Nature, as well as their internal nature, they inevitably arrive at a greater awareness of the powerful and innate tools which they have at their immediate disposal.

Culture

If Nature forms us (what we are), then it is Culture which shapes us (who we are). I encourage my clients to become sophisticated stewards of their culture by utilising and improving upon the tools and wisdom of past generations in order to propel them forward toward their desired ideal.

Logos

We’re products of both Nature and culture, but it is the Logos which guides us. This ancient philosophical term represents our ability as human beings to intelligently navigate Nature and culture in order to create “heaven on earth,” or in other words, to form one’s ideal out of potential. It can best be understood as true sight, true hearing, true speech, true intention, and true action.

A Common Process for Personal Growth

I often use the following strategy with my clients in order to help them to move closer toward personal goals in their lives.

Educate

As the saying goes, inspiration starts with education. The first step towards any character development is to seek better information, or at least to take stock of the wisdom which you currently have on hand.

Plan

Next, it’s time to plan. I help my clients to clearly define their own personal ideal, and then we create a road map to the perusal of that ideal.

Execute

Of course, all the education and planning in the world won’t account for a lack of action. I hold my clients accountable to living by the principles which they wish to embody.

Review

The process of character development requires constant tweaking. As your consciousness expands with greater education, better plans, and more effective execution, your mind will be opened to better pathways or information that will lead you to your ideal.
