Simonne Liley

Simonne is a former accountant and bookkeeper, a Gappie OG, with more than 25 years’ experience. A leadership strategist, she combines commercial strategy with expertise in neuroscience, human behaviour, positive psychology and NLP to identify what is limiting profit, performance and growth. She helps leaders make better decisions, strengthen accountability, lead difficult conversations and turn strategy into sustainable business results, especially when pressure is high and the stakes are commercial. 

"Without a doubt the 8-week leadership programme was the best training I’ve ever done."
