Strategic Alchemist

Your own Secret Weapon tipping the scales in your favour

As a Strategic Alchemist, Simon works directly with clients one-to-one.

This is a very special strategic business relationship, which by its nature is limited in number. It’s a very private relationship where trust is built over time.

Given the nature of the work Simon does as a Strategic Alchemist, it’s important that potential clients start with the right intent and approach and that’s why the first step is always to engage for a Deep Dive session.

During the Deep Dive, the foundations are created for future success, we identify challenges, opportunities, ares to explore short and long term and the right next steps are explored tailored to the client, rather than a one size fits all approach.

It’s also a two way process, we are looking at how far we can include you in all we do, and what it will take to help you realise your potential and our potential synergies and workability.

Your Secret Weapon

Simon Hedley is The Strategic Alchemist, truly unique in his experience, skills and values and as such he has been and is The Secret Weapon of many entrepreneurs, business owners, investors, authors, speakers, creatives and ethical business figures.

Why is he called a secret weapon? Simon prefers to live and work away from the spotlight (even though he has been on television and featured in newspapers) as it helps his clients get better results. He’s usually found by referral only.

He arms his clients with the perspectives, ideas, information, resources and experiences they need to succeed.

However, in the current times, it’s clear he needs a webpage for people to share to their respective business friends and help make it easier for the right people to take action to produce the results they deserve.

This is why we – in this website – are sharing what it means to be The Strategic Alchemist, balancing the space between magic and mechanics in business, human potential and more.

What is Magic?

This may be learning of your limiting beliefs or working with self-development on a whole other level. It is not ‘therapy’ but an attention to your push and pull factors, finding the distinctions that you yourself will never be able to see that are stopping you in forwarding your business. Finding new and ancient ways to alchemise your future.

You might see him as the ‘Yoda’ of Business as I like to call him, he will be different things to different people as everyone is unique and different. No program will fit all, The Strategic Alchemist fits with who you are and who your business Is in a unique, strategic way.

What are Mechanics?

With decades in banking, finance and audit The Strategic Alchemist is grounded in numbers and reality, and the practical ways that we can use technology, processes, systems and functions to create real results consistently.

There is a time to be creative and there are times to use tried and tested proven models, recipes, templates and blueprints.

Simon is constantly learning, refining and optimising his library of these and connecting with others who are producing results to find solutions that are replicable by themselves and in combination to produce leveraged and breakthrough results.

Every client engagement and interaction serves to increase the capacity for increased Creativity Through Technology™.

Client Success Stories

Simon is indeed my secret weapon, he helped to transform my world as an entrepreneur & showed me ways to work with things now that I had thought were a distant future.

As my Strategic Alchemist, Simon and I worked on my inner and outer development as an ethical and sustainable entrepreneur both areas are equally as important to create a momentum towards a new future not only for me but others.

Generating new business is not always easy, Simon helped me to be in a space where I could apply myself to my entrepreneurial journey in whole new ways. His influence has helped me to become, be positioned and stand as the magnificent human that I am and always was.. so that others might also see it and value it.

Simon is a really interesting person, and takes so much time and passion to understand who you are, what you do and why you do it. Since spending more time with Simon I’ve come to understand his mind better and he’s excellent at breaking down situations and coming up with outside of the box ideas. He’s a lovely person and really does know what he’s talking about.

Simon is one of a kind – a rare heart-centred very human being and ace mentor who thinks of others long before he considers himself.

We met for the first time at FreshFlow – his event held in September. The person who attended at 9.30 am was quite different from the one who left at 7.00 pm. Simon brings people together. You don’t quite know what to expect yet he transforms or creates something through a seemingly magical process.
