Adaptive Skills Coach   

Previous Professional or Educational Experiences:

With over seven years of experience as a medical doctor in Denmark, Simon has developed extensive expertise in diagnosing and treating patients across diverse populations and medical fields. Throughout his career, he has thrived in direct patient interactions—whether providing care, simplifying complex medical concepts, or supporting patients through difficult decisions with empathy and understanding. His approach is deeply rooted in communication, patience, and compassion, which has positively influenced both patient outcomes and the overall care experience.

One of Simon’s most significant accomplishments was helping to create a more patient-centered environment within a high-volume clinic, leading to a notable improvement in patient satisfaction and trust. Over time, he recognized that the most meaningful work often extended beyond the clinical setting. Now, after relocating to California with his family, Simon is eager to continue in roles that prioritize direct engagement with people and meaningful support.

With a background in medicine, Simon brings a strong foundation in empathy, problem-solving, and clear communication. His ability to truly listen and understand people has been instrumental in building trust and meaningful connections. Additionally, he recognizes the importance of patience—allowing individuals the space to process their thoughts rather than rushing to provide solutions.

His experience navigating complex situations has honed his ability to mediate between various aspects of a person’s life, approaching challenges from multiple perspectives. This holistic problem-solving approach enables him to offer thoughtful, well-rounded support to those he works with.

Interests and Hobbies:

In his free time, Simon takes pride in maintaining an organized and structured environment, as it provides a sense of productivity and balance. This also allows him to be fully present when spending quality time with his wife and daughter, both of whom are incredibly important to him.

Beyond family time, he enjoys playing board games with friends and loved ones, as well as spending time outdoors. When seeking solitude, he finds peace in long hikes and bike rides, using nature as a way to recharge and reflect.

Fun Fact:

A little-known fact about Simon is that he was the lead in a high school musical production! This experience pushed him out of his comfort zone, teaching him valuable lessons about teamwork, confidence, and stepping into the spotlight. The skills he developed—particularly in public speaking and performance—have continued to serve him well in both personal and professional settings.
