“Working with Simi was absolutely amazing and I would recommend it 1000x over. Simi’s support was perfectly tailored to me and was exactly what I needed. She was understanding, calming and provided direct and sound advice to help me level up in my career and land a role that is perfectly aligned to my experience and speaks to everything I want in a career. I have just landed an amazing role with a great company doing something that perfectly brings all my experience together. She really boosted my confidence and really re-affirmed and helped me better communicate the value I can bring to anywhere I wish to work. A few things I’ve loved about working with Simi: 1. She really gives you her all. Her support is specific to you, your story and your journey and she really doesn’t gatekeep any information. 2. Her resources are something you can use again and again. They truly are timeless and work. Her feedback is also something you can easily go back to as you navigate each career transition. 3. Nothing feels impossible. Whatever it is that you want to attain, Simi can help you devise a clear way forward. 3. Your time together is structured, organised and truly is collaborative. She has such a quick response rate and has included so many thoughtful and helpful touches to really elevate your client experience with her. Thank you so much Simi! I would recommend you again in a heartbeat x”

About
Hi, I’m Simi, a career coach for high-achieving Black women who are ready to land higher-paying, more fulfilling roles without starting over or settling for less.
10 years ago, I made a bold career move that doubled my salary and completely changed how I saw my value in the corporate world. Since then, I’ve pivoted careers multiple times and built a career that’s as financially secure as it is fulfilling.
Now I help other women do the same through my 1:1 coaching program, Search To Secured, which is designed for ambitious Black women ready to move into high-paying, purpose-led roles with £10K to £50K salary increases in just 3 months.
I’ve coached clients across industries to break free from stagnant roles, navigate pivots with clarity, and step into leadership positions they once thought were out of reach.
Here’s how I can support you:
✅ Search To Secured (1:1 Coaching) – A 3-month program that guides you through your entire job search: finding your next role, applying strategically, interviewing with confidence, and securing an offer that reflects your brilliance.
→ Join 1:1 Coaching : https://coach-simi.com/search-to-secured
✅ Well Paid & Fulfilled (Free Email Series) – Weekly career tips, stories, and mindset shifts to help you grow your income and impact, without burnout.

My clients don’t just need advice, they want strategy, clarity and results.
They’re done:
→ Second-guessing if they’re “good enough” to pivot
→ Being overlooked for promotions
→ Staying in roles that don’t reflect their value
And they’re ready for transformations like:
→ C who went from a £50K cap to £75K+ offers
→ A who stepped into leadership with a €33K raise
→ S who changed jobs on maternity leave and increased her salary by £20K
→ A who landed a $180K role while navigating motherhood

✨A little more about me:
I’m a proud mum of two and lover of cheesecake. I believe you can have both money and meaning from your career, and I’m here to help you claim it. When I’m not coaching, I’m watching reality game shows, dreaming up my next big idea or reminding women like you that bold career moves always pay off.
Let’s make your next career move your best one yet.
