About Me
Simone Sweeney
Executive Coach

I’m Simone - a Canadian, mum, former exec and global citizen. After 25 years in senior roles at brands like Apple, LEGO and HP, I left the boardroom to follow a passion: executive coaching women.
I’ve lived the highs of a corporate career and the challenges of juggling success with real life - especially as a woman. I've lived through burnout, politics and the pressure to compromise who you are just to get ahead. Now I support others who are dealing with these stresses and more.
I help women like you find career balance and make the most of their amazing strengths, skills and experience. Together we make actionable, positive change and take back control of work.
Through my coaching practice, Arise, I work with professionals to redefine success on their own terms - with clarity, confidence and integrity. I believe you can lead with authenticity and ambition without sacrificing your values, well-being or personal life.
You’ll get a direct, empathetic partner who’s lived in the corporate world and knows how to navigate it. Together, we’ll uncover what you really want and build the strategy - and mindset - to make it happen.
We all deserve to work smarter, feel happier, and lead with purpose.

Simone provided me with lots of positive reinforcement and a framework to help me identify and understand the changes I wanted to make. Our conversations helped me to see a new perspective, not only about work but also about myself. Simone really strikes the right balance of listening and sharing her wealth of experience and ideas.”

"I'd highly recommend Simone, she was instrumental in rebuilding my confidence and resilience after a tough year combining redundancy and family bereavement. She is one the of the loveliest people I've ever met, her calm and empathetic manner creates a warm safe space in which she shares her acute observations, cultivating clarity and direction. I feel very lucky to have benefited from her wealth of wisdom, unwavering belief and energising presence. Her tools and guidance gave me a compass for my next steps, I can easily revisit again and again."
Lydia
Retail Marketing Manager
Working with Simone has been a pivotal experience for me, both professionally and personally...I’m incredibly grateful for the insight and perspective she brought to each session. It’s rare to find someone who can unlock that level of progress with such consistency and care. I couldn’t rate or recommend Simone more! If you get the chance to work with her, take it - you’ll walk away feeling way more connected to your own potential and honestly wondering how you ever managed without her.

"I had the pleasure of being coached by Simone over a number of months. This time was particularly turbulent, both professionally and personally, and Simone created a calm and supportive space where I gained insights, learnt new skills/models and had time to think beyond the day-to-day. Simone is passionate about empowering people to realise their potential and she delivers this with a wonderful blend of compassion and tangible support."
