Lecture
Šimon Steffal from Mindset Mentors gave a lecture on "Dealing with Cognitive Overload" at our Outing. Šimon was excellently prepared, his presentation was not only structured and clear, but also engaging and witty, which kept the entire audience's attention throughout.
We especially appreciate that he managed to open this topic in a way that really resonated with the participants – immediately after the end, a lively discussion spontaneously broke out among colleagues about what they had just heard. We consider this a clear proof that the lecture had a real impact and inspired reflection and sharing of experiences.
From an organizational point of view, cooperation with Šimon was absolutely trouble-free – from professional and at the same time kind communication, through responsiveness to our requirements, to adapting to our time possibilities.
Thank you Šimon for a great experience and a lot of inspiration!

Lecture
Šimon's authentic and natural expression keeps you in absolute concentration throughout and makes you feel that everything he says is true and cannot be otherwise.
When you think about it all and translate it into your own reality, you realize that this is indeed the case. You will realize, or confirm, that when a team communicates openly and transparently, trust and efficiency of cooperation grow, while the probability of misunderstandings and conflicts is significantly reduced. This leads to faster decision-making and greater engagement.
I personally have become convinced that when people understand the "why" of their role, they are more motivated and more identify with the vision of the company or with your personal vision.
I recommend this “exercise” to everyone – it will be useful to you both in your professional and private life, whether with children, partner, friends or parents, in short, in all situations.
Šimon, thanks, it was awesome!

Lecture
Šimon Steffal prepared an extremely lively and interesting lecture on Dealing with cognitive overload for our colleagues from the lawyers of the KKCG Group. The topic resonated very well among all participants, which was reflected in active participation and many questions, which Šimon handled very well and always directed our colleagues to several solution options. The lecture was not static, but watching Šimon lecture was fun, but it brought quality content and a lot of practically useful advice. Colleagues rated both the topic and the form very positively. I look forward to meeting you at another similar opportunity.

NPAworldwide is a global network where our members work across borders and continents to place executive candidates into high level jobs. It's crucial that unconscious bias does not impede the decision-making process and that communication between cultures flows easily. Simon helped our attendees recognize these potential barriers and provided solutions for overcoming them. He was engaging, knowledgeable and well-prepared to address the participants. I would highly recommend him if your organization supports a global audience and communication between them is important.

Mentoring
My experience with Mindset Mentors is very positive, I have completed mentoring and I can only recommend it. The topics are discussed in an inspiring and friendly form directly linked to the needs of the participant “tailor-made” with regard to the current situation and the topics addressed in working life. The outputs can be applied directly.

Mentoring
The sessions with Šimon were great from beginning to end. I had the opportunity to retrospectively go through the situations in our team, confront myself, look at things from a different point of view and think about what I could have done better. In many cases, I received advice that I would not have come up with myself. I greatly appreciate Šimon's approach and the opportunity to have him next to me as a partner and a person with perspective, whom I could ask questions and from whose experience I could draw.

Mentoring
I had a total of five hour-long consultations with Šimon, during which Šimon gave me advice, references to literature and gave perspective on topics – how to give feedback, how to adjust rhetoric when pointing out sub-optimally performed work. Šimon highlighted the importance of personal contact, especially when I disagree with the other person, and all this with a very warm approach. I sometimes went to our sessions feeling: “Oh dear, I have enough on my plate and now a call with Šimon,” but I always left with a smile on my face and encouraged to face further challenges.

Facilitation
Through a series of regular and compact group mentoring sessions, Šimon has successfully transformed my direct reports—a team of six experienced managers overseeing a complex product engineering business worth 400M CZK and managing approximately 120 people—from a collection of competent individuals into a cohesive team. They now independently tackle very complex problems, advise each other, and anticipate challenges, all without my presence, and are well-prepared to face new challenges in the automotive market.
Šimon is exceptional. He possesses incredible energy, asks the right (and often difficult) questions, and identifies the best person for each solution. He is always well-prepared, consultative, and ensures that each session brings us to a new level of autonomy. Simply put, he is an excellent mindset fitness coach.

Facilitation
The facilitation training with Šimon was a lot of fun and also a good dose of inspiration and practical examples of how the facilitator's path is sometimes thorny and what obstacles we can encounter. Fortunately, Šimon equipped us with practical tips on how not to get caught in these traps and successfully fulfill the role. And still remain above things and neutral "like Switzerland". Extremely useful know-how for working on service designs and in agile teams.

MindsetMentors have such an individual approach that you feel as if their work was created only and only for your company and the people in it. We received a great approach from everyone, from the initial communication, through the entire planning and course of the workshop, to the very end of the cooperation.
Thank you for putting so much work into us and being able to provide us with care where it was needed. It must be said that the workshop exceeded expectations for many people in the team. Thank you and we look forward to future cooperation!

He came. He understood. He impressed.
During our meetings, Šimon was able to decipher the needs of our company, which is family-owned but also large, in a very short time. He proposed a workshop concept on the topic of Situational Leadership and the target group of middle management devoured his every word, diligently filled out every worksheet. ...and now we are waiting for when and how the key ideas and recommendations will be reflected in practice.

This was my first year in a team leader role, and the workshop has greatly increased my confidence in conducting annual 1:1 performance reviews. I now feel better prepared to assess each team member’s performance objectively. I especially valued the practical exercises, which helped me recognize common biases and provided useful strategies for focusing on team members who present more challenges.

Learning journey
As Šimon's professional colleague, now standing on the opposite side of the barricade, it is difficult to write a credible reference to something that is perfect. Unfortunately, you have to experience it yourself.
From a perfect understanding of the educational need, through creating a space where people WANT and not HAVE TO, to “after care” makes Šimon what he is. An unconventional, precise, personal and result-focused lecturer. More cannot be said:)

It is a true pleasure to provide this reference for Simon Steffal, who has consistently proven himself to be a highly valued and respected trainer within our Learning & Development initiatives.

Beyond our internal appreciation, Simon has received outstanding feedback from program participants across multiple streams and audiences — whether in soft skills development, client engagement, or leadership training.

Many describe being inspired and motivated after his sessions, noting how easily he breaks down complex concepts and encourages genuine reflection and growth.

His blend of storytelling, real-life examples, and hands-on facilitation techniques creates a lasting impression and drives meaningful development.

In short, Simon is not just a trainer — he is a true learning partner, and his contributions have been pivotal to the success of our programs. Both our team and our participants hold him in the highest regard.
P.S. I also love our small chats between the session breaks, his dog, and Simon's amazing sense of humor 🙂

Good day Šimon,
I just want to thank you for the great training today, which brought me a lot of interesting points. I think I will use them either in my personal or professional life.
And at the same time, great praise for you, as I have already completed more similar trainings, but I must admit that I was honestly bored at many of them. But today's training really brought me interesting insights, my attention was constantly on alert and I hope that there will be an opportunity for similar trainings in the future.
Thank you very much and I wish you all the best

Together with Šimon, we prepared an intensive, 4-week and very practical program “Learning Sprint” on the topic of effective communication, which we consider to be one of the key skills in the company.
We started the program with an hour-long webinar, in which Šimon showed listeners the most important principles of good communication. I really appreciate that Šimon was able to make even online training interactive and engaging, in short, so that even a large audience could properly enjoy it.
This was followed by 4-hour workshops over the following 4 weeks, this time in a small group. Each focused on a different topic (e.g. effective feedback, presentation skills). After a short introductory theory, we immediately jumped into (un)popular, but effective “role plays”, because practical practice in the safe environment of a small group is what really works.
Šimon is a great facilitator, even in an online environment, where it is not easy to maintain attention at all. He is a communication professional – he can observe any communication transgressions even during a short “scene” and then provide really useful, very specific feedback for improvement.
Working with Šimon was really a pleasure and the evaluation of the program participants was great – so I can definitely recommend the cooperation!

Simon’s expertise and interactive approach made complex concepts easy to understand and implement in daily work life.
