Helping Driven and Compassionate Accountants to Serve Without Sacrifice

CORE Leadership Model

Our Certifications

CORE Leadership Certification - 8w

Just like we exercise to increase our physical fitness, we now understand that neuroplasticity enables us to effectively use tools to increase our mental fitness and emotional mastery. To do so needs clear, structured insight and tools for daily practice and application.

Unfortunately, over time most of us have developed patterns of thought that make us over think, judge and doubt. Leading to feelings of guilt, fear, frustration, hopelessness, self-doubt and anger.

If you find yourself ruminating what “they” really meant….

Lay awake at 3am putting together your list of to does….

Struggle to know how to handle a delicate conversation or conflict, perhaps avoiding it entirely….

Say yes when you really want to say no….

Need to get things done perfectly or just so, or….

You don’t get them done at all…..

This 8-week CPD certification is designed for busy directors who want to sleep better, live better, lead better, and have better relationships with self, others and circumstance.

We Are Here to Help

We believe compassionate and driven accountants deserve to serve without sacrifice. In Simonne’s 25 years in industry, she has seen her fair share of industry legends “bleed out” with excessive empathy and burn out with excessive hours.

Simonne is passionate about working with her industry to change that. One of the many learnings she had from the past two years is how important resilience and self-leadership is, so we can lead with calm, deliberate confidence; without sacrificing self or profit.

What our graduates have to say...

“…one of the most powerful personal development courses of my life – the CORE Leadership Program with Simonne Liley.

…I wanted to increase my capacity and resilience in challenging situations, and, without really knowing it at the time, be more happy in my work and life.

If you would like to learn how to overcome the many challenges you face using practical and proven strategies, learn more about yourself, and ultimately, be more happy, I cannot recommend this programme more strongly.”

Mark Jenkins

Director, The Gap

“…because I was struggling with finding my place in my new role as a director, as well as having much baggage carried along from a traumatic childhood and past relationship that I needed to come to terms with so I could move on. I would totally recommend this course for a number of reasons.

One Simonne is great at holding you accountable and making the whole thing seem like fun. Two, working with a group is amazing, the support and encouragement if you are willing to be vulnerable is awesome. Three, I have made so much progress, been much calmer and finding life as a whole much easier to deal with. If you are thinking of doing this – DO IT, it will be the most life changing experience ever!!”

Priscilla Amer

Director, Priscilla Amer CA

“….I give 110% to everything and everyone which is exhausting.

Since completing I have found more time in my already busy life to prioritise things that are important, and I’ve learnt some valuable real-life tools to keep calm in the chaos.

I highly recommend Simonne and the program because the process skillfully highlights years of bad habits and patterns by explaining why they are no longer serving me and how to retrain my brain to fail fast and adjust.”

Jancy Stott

Director, PKF Kerikeri

“Simonne is a wonderful person helping people in all area’s of their businesses. But for me and our Sidekick group this is particularly important as Accountants and Financial Advisors. I completed an 8 week Core Leadership and Mental Fitness course with Simonne which was beyond anything I was ever expecting. Truly life-changing.

Most recently Simonne presented a session for our Sidekick Directors on Getting Comfortable with Difficult Conversations. This was an amazing 4 hour session and everyone took so much away from it. So looking forward to working with Simonne into the future. She is so skilled at what she does!!”

Megan Cameron

Director, Sidekick Tasman

“Initially I was unsure about what I’d get out of this and a prerequisite for me signing up was that it was not allowed to be “airy fairy” and I can confirm thankfully, that it was not. How my brain was programmed 8 weeks ago is not how it is now and the CORE Leadership course has helped me to be a better leader and person not just in business but most importantly, at home and to self.

I highly recommend the course if you know you struggle with negative self-talk, imposter syndrome, procrastination and being present.

Working with Simonne with her expert advise from lived experience makes it very relevant as well as learning some of the science behind our brain and mental fitness requirements (just like going to the gym!!).

Working with a group online, that I would never have met otherwise, all of us from different backgrounds and upbringings as also been a highlight and in only 8 short weeks we could physically sense how far we’ve all come. Let the sage rage!”

Tania-Rose Tamati

CEO, Ake Accounting

“I decided to do this program because I wanted to improve my confidence and conflict resolution, and since completing I have so much more understanding of self, I’m happier and calmer in situations. I’m on a path to improvement. I 100% recommend Simonne and the program because you owe it to yourself, you are worth it!”
