Simon Jeffries: The Natural Edge

Embrace the challenge and conquer the impossible. This is the unwavering spirit of the Royal Marines, encapsulated in the famous motto, "No cuff too tough." It's a creed that inspires the bravest and boldest to push beyond their limits, to improvise, adapt, and overcome any obstacle in their path.Today, we have the honour of hearing from a true embodiment of this creed - Simon Jeffries. As a former Royal Marine Commando, Simon has faced some of the toughest challenges imaginable. But with eight years of service and three tours under his belt, he has emerged as a true beacon to the power of mindset, resilience, belief, and courage."Mindset is a skillset, but if you don't treat it as that, things are never going to change." ~ Simon Jeffries. From the battlefield to the boardroom to co-founder of the Natural Edge, Simon's indomitable spirit has never wavered. Through his experiences in special forces, he found a kindred spirit in his business partner, John Sykes-Popham. Together, they have forged a path of success that reflects the same unbreakable determination that drives the Royal Marines.This is a conversation about the primacy of purpose, the power of passion, and the pursuit of self-discovery. It's about resilience, self-accountability, and overcoming limiting beliefs. And it's about the embracement of pain as a crucible for growth and development. Ultimately, this is a conversation about what it means to forge true confidence, to chase down your dreams and live a life of happiness and purpose.In Segment 1- From Battlefield to Boardroom: Simon shares his background as a Special Forces soldier and his transition to a management consultancy in London.
