Simon Alexander Ong is an international keynote speaker, executive coach, and bestselling author recognised for his expertise in high performance and energy management. His work helps people and organisations understand that energy, not time, is their most valuable resource. Simon’s approach combines psychology, neuroscience, and practical insight to help individuals lead with purpose and sustain peak performance. Whether speaking to senior executives or creative teams, he equips audiences with the tools to think differently, act decisively, and create lasting results in their personal and professional lives.
Before launching his coaching and speaking career, Simon graduated from The London School of Economics and Political Science with a degree in Economics and spent nearly a decade in the financial services industry. It was during this period that he experienced the pressures of corporate life first-hand, learning how burnout and imbalance can erode performance and fulfilment. That realisation became the turning point that inspired him to build a career centred on human potential and personal energy. In 2013, he founded his own practice as an International Keynote Speaker, Business Strategist, and Executive Coach, working with clients across industries to help them reconnect with what fuels them most.
Simon has since built an impressive global profile. He is the bestselling author of ‘Energize’, published by Penguin Random House, which won Book of the Year at The Business Book Awards 2023 in the Wellness and Wellbeing category. His insights have been featured across BBC, Sky News, Forbes, The Financial Times, and Harvard Business Review, and he has spoken for many of the world’s leading companies including Salesforce, Google, Microsoft, Barclays, and Unilever. In 2024, he expanded his digital influence by growing his YouTube channel to over 170,000 subscribers, where he continues to share practical lessons on mindset, performance, and leadership. His story is a testament to transformation, showing how self-awareness and deliberate action can turn burnout into brilliance.
As a speaker, Simon is known for his energising presence and ability to connect deeply with audiences. His keynotes challenge people to rethink how they manage their energy, adapt to change, and lead themselves before leading others. He speaks on topics such as ‘The Mindset That Drives Exponential Success’, ‘How to Awaken Your Energetic Power to Thrive at Work’, and ‘Why the White Belt Mentality Is Key to Growth’. Every talk is an invitation to act – to pause, reset, and pursue success that feels as good as it looks. Simon’s message is simple yet powerful: when you transform your energy, you transform your life.
