This is what others have said about Simon and his approach :
Chief Executive of FE College	“For me the essential feature of the programme has been the contribution made by Simon Whitehouse, my leadership coach.  Simon taught me to reflect and helped me turn the mirror on myself.  His role is now internalised where I continually reflect and seek new opportunities to develop myself.  I know I am only just beginning on a journey.”
Training Manager, Governement Agency	“Just want to let you know how well Module 1 of the management skills programme you designed went …it was AMAZING…..it was a real pleasure to deliver a really well put together course; the feedback from the delegates was awesome too…..lots of light bulb moments.”
Founding Director of advertising agency	"Simon Whitehouse has three clear attributes that has helped our business and enhanced our bottom line profit immediately... 1. He is proactive, and is a self-starter. 2. He challenges the status quo to really give a balanced new perspective, and 3. He has a really great way of making complicated issues seem really simple. Developing and nurturing our talent is a very important part of differentiating our business. Simon has brought a great wealth of up-to-the-minute big company expertise and tailored it to give us break-through solutions to our people development, and done it with the minimum of fuss. He's a really valuable asset to any SME, more than paying for himself in improved productivity in all of us here at frank the agency. Hire him."
Learning & Development Manager	"Many, many thanks for all your help and support with the management skills programme.  I firmly believe that much of it's success is due to your fantastic material.  It wouldn't have been the same without you.  I hope to be able to work with you again in the future."
Head of HR, Financial Services	"Simon made me aware of various aspects of employee behaviour using models which made the learning easier to pick up and to retain.  This has helped me understand why people or teams may be behaving the way they are, and allows me to tailor my approach accordingly to implement the most appropriate course of action to allow us to move forward successfully."
Senior Manager, Civil Service	"Simon has worked with my team and I for approximately 6 months.  Simon has worked beyond his original remit, by proactively utilising his excellent consultancy skills to identify and help address cultural and process issues.  Throughout, his approach has been inclusive yet challenging, underpinned by  clear leadership and communication abilities. His delivery has been to time, quality and cost, with his contract being extended in recognition of the value he has added to the business."
Solicitor	"I was recently engaged to act as an independent legal assessor at an assessment centre at which Simon was the facilitator.  I can say unequivocally that the two schools which were under the direction of Simon were the most professional, well-organised and smooth running of any which I attended.  Simon has an authoritative presence and a calmness of delivery which enabled him to corral 8 legally and non-legally qualified assessors through a process involving 96 individual assessments to rigorous standards in a very tight, 2 day timetable.  Whilst having an obvious interest in the number of candidates that successfully completed his schools, Simon was nonetheless of the highest integrity, providing concise and unbiased guidance to the assessors as required.  I hold Simon in the highest professional regard and would recommend him for any such assessment process in the future."
Programme Director, LSIS	“Simon has been coaching on the Principals Qualifying Programme since November 2007 and has worked with a number of Principals (Chief Executives)helping them develop their leadership. He has approached the work with a strong sense of applying theoretical frameworks to practice. He takes a similar view of his professional development both in a supervision setting and as a team player. I would strongly recommend him as a coach."
Senior HR Generalist, Financial Services	"Simon has the unique ability to help people find the value of their own specific contribution to an overall organization.  He helped me build upon the skills that I can offer to our team and company.  His leadership/coaching style is superior."
Head of HR, Regional Shopping Centre	"Simon enabled the team to understand themselves better and look at the business in a different way.  The most useful session for the team was the 1:1 coaching on the 360 degree feedback.  This was very enlightening and a character-building exercise which I feel will help the team move forward towards being a high-performance team.  Simon is very interested in developing meaningful relationships with his clients.  He also took a considered approach to the workshops and was non-judgemental when he was strongly tested !"
Centre Director, Regional Shopping Centre	"Given this was the first 'awayday' for a large team of company employees, the joint institutional owners and expert consultant teams totalling around 30 delegates, the day presented some obvious challenges.  The objectives were clear and the agenda Simon developed facilitated the required outcomes. There's no doubt that the day has moved the wider team on and we are in a better place. Thank you."
Asset Manager, International Property Investment Company	"Balanced Perspectives were selected to facilitate a one day team building workshop in June, which involved 30 attendees.  The preparation and execution of the session by Simon was excellent and met all objectives which were identified and agreed in an initial meeting.  The content of the workshop was relevant and encouraged attendees to discuss issues, generate ideas, and come up with workable solutions. The interaction between Simon and attendees was impressive, with Simon’s approachable demeanour encouraging people to feel comfortable and to make the most of the session.  It was a pleasure working with Simon and I would strongly recommend Balanced Perspectives Limited. We intend to use them again."
