The origins of asatoma can be traced back to 2007, when Simon and Carla first met.
What began as a shared exploration of self-awareness, personal insights, and life lessons soon evolved into a deeper journey, one that reached into the aspects of human growth many shy away from. Their conversations about identity, purpose, human behaviour, leaders, and leadership styles revealed a clear calling: to share their knowledge and experience more widely.
This opportunity came to life by combining Simon’s expertise in management consulting, organisational transformation and leadership, with Carla’s depth of knowledge in psychology, communication strategies, interpersonal dynamics and behavioural insights.
Together, they built the foundations for asatoma’s personalised leadership development programmes, integrating business acumen with a profound understanding of human behaviour. By weaving together leadership training, personalised development pathways, and strategies for sustainable organisational growth, asatoma goes far beyond conventional leadership development courses.
The result is not just professional skill-building, but lasting change for individuals, leaders, and organisations alike through thoughtful leadership development training and tailored support.
Simon’s career journey spans from management consulting to designing and supporting organisational and leadership change. With a blend of business expertise and psychological insight, Simon has helped individuals at every level, from emerging talent to senior executives.
His own personal development journey brings authenticity and depth to every programme, ensuring that our leadership development courses resonate on both a personal and professional level.
By weaving together insights into human behaviour, personalised leadership training, and organisational growth, Simon ensures that asatoma’s offerings go beyond standard courses.
