Simon Alexander Ong is an executive coach and bestselling author whose standout achievement is the publication of his debut book ‘Energize,’ which went on to win Book of the Year - Wellness & Wellbeing at the Business Book Awards 2023. Known for his warm and powerful delivery, Simon inspires audiences to awaken their energy, lead with intention and thrive in every area of life. His work has taken him to global stages, where he helps people rethink how they work, lead and live.
Simon’s journey began at The London School of Economics and Political Science, where he earned a degree in Economics. He entered the financial services industry soon after, following what many would see as the conventional path to success. The experience proved invaluable but also exposed him to the realities of burnout and disconnection that come from chasing external achievement without inner alignment. That turning point became the catalyst for his transformation, steering him toward coaching and personal development. It was there that he discovered his mission - to help others design lives that feel as good as they look.
Since then, Simon has built a remarkable career as an international keynote speaker, award-winning coach, and business strategist. He has delivered talks and workshops for some of the world’s most respected organisations including Salesforce, Microsoft, Barclays, Adobe, and Google. His insights have featured across major media outlets such as Sky News, BBC, Forbes, and the Financial Times, establishing him as one of the UK’s leading voices on energy, purpose, and leadership. His first book, ‘Energize,’ received endorsements from world-renowned figures including Simon Sinek, Marie Forleo and Dr Marshall Goldsmith, marking a defining milestone in his journey.
Event organisers book Simon because he delivers more than motivation - he delivers transformation. His talks blend science, storytelling and strategy to help people harness their energy, elevate performance and lead with authenticity. Covering topics such as purposeful leadership, energy management and the mindset that drives success, Simon’s keynotes leave audiences not just inspired but equipped to take meaningful action.
