Simon Alexander Ong - How To Connect Your Heart and Mind To Energize Your Life

 My guest Simon Alexander Ong started a high-flying career in the financial sector working at one of the top firms in the industry. Just 14 months into that the company collapsed, causing the ripple effect of the 2008 global financial crisis. Without the demands and what he now considers a false sense of security, of the corporate world, Simon retrained to follow a career in coaching. His mission in life became focused on helping as many people as he can connect the heart to the mind to transform their lives. He does this by using true wisdom instead of glamour to convey his message. 

 Simon Alexander Ong is a personal development entrepreneur, coach and public speaker.  His work has been recognised by major corporations such as Sky News and BBC who have invited him for interviews, while Barclays featured him in a nationwide campaign asking him questions on how families could embrace better lifestyle habits.  He’s an award-winning life coach, and international keynote speaker and published his best-selling debut book Energize in April 2022.
