Meet Simone Hewitt
Simone Hewitt is a Jamaican-born and raised fiery soul, transformational facilitator, speaker, coach, and lifelong learner with an unwavering passion for empowering people to discover their voice, embrace their potential, and create meaningful change.
With more than 25 years of experience in facilitation, learning and development, leadership development, and coaching, Simone creates transformative experiences that invite people to move beyond simply learning—to feel, reflect, connect, and grow. Her work sits at the intersection of empathy, inclusion, leadership, personal growth, and well-being, helping individuals and organizations create spaces where people feel seen, valued, and empowered to thrive.
A seasoned Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (JEDI) practitioner, Simone brings both professional expertise and lived experience to conversations about belonging, culture, empathy, and human connection. She is known for creating engaging learning experiences that are thought-provoking, immersive, and deeply human. Her approach blends insight with energy, compassion with candor, and meaningful reflection with practical action.
A Passion for Transformational Learning
Simone has designed and facilitated learning experiences across educational, corporate, healthcare, nonprofit, and virtual environments. Her professional career includes leadership development, organizational development, executive and career coaching, curriculum design, workforce development, and culture transformation.
Whether she is facilitating a leadership workshop, delivering a keynote, coaching an individual through a career transition, or guiding an organization through conversations about inclusion and culture, Simone's goal remains the same: create experiences that move people.
Her infectious energy, creativity, authenticity, and compassion have made her a sought-after facilitator and motivational speaker. She believes the most powerful learning happens when people are given permission to pause, become curious, challenge what they thought they knew, and see themselves—and one another—with greater empathy.
A Global Perspective
Simone's love of travel has taken her to diverse corners of the world, including Morocco and the Republic of Congo. These experiences have expanded her worldview and deepened her appreciation for the many ways people experience community, identity, culture, connection, and belonging.
Her global experiences inform the way she facilitates: with curiosity, cultural humility, openness, and a genuine respect for the stories that shape each person's journey.
Rooted in Growth, Mindfulness & Well-Being
Simone is a lifelong learner and a proud graduate of Nova Southeastern University, where she earned both a Master of Science in Human Resource Management and a Bachelor of Science in Professional Management. She also holds a Bachelor of Science in Hospitality & Tourism Management from the University of Technology in Jamaica.
Her commitment to growth extends beyond the classroom. With more than 30 years of dedicated yoga practice, Cross-fitter and Bodybuilder Simone understands transformation as a whole-person journey—one that engages the mind, body, emotions, and spirit.
This mind-body connection has profoundly influenced her facilitation and coaching philosophy. She incorporates mindfulness, empathy, reflection, and embodied practices to help people slow down, reconnect with themselves, and create sustainable change.
Simone is also a Certified Empathy & Mindfulness Facilitator, Motivational Interviewing practitioner, and Diabetes Prevention Coach.
A Commitment to Community & Service
Simone's commitment to transformation extends beyond the workplace and into the communities she serves. She is the founder of Reach One More Now, a nonprofit organization rooted in the belief that meaningful change begins when we choose to reach one more person, one more family, and one more community.
Through Reach One More Now, Simone brings her passion for empowerment, compassion, and human connection to community-centered initiatives that support individuals and families, respond to critical needs, and create opportunities for people to feel seen, supported, and empowered.
For Simone, service is not separate from her professional work—it is an extension of it. Whether she is helping a leader discover their voice, creating a learning experience that shifts perspective, or mobilizing support for a community in need, she believes that transformation happens when we choose to show up for one another.
Reach One More Now reflects Simone's deeper purpose: to make a difference, create meaningful connections, and reach one more.
Coaching the Whole Person
As a Certified Life and Health Coach, Simone partners with individuals who are ready to move from where they are to where they want to be.
Whether the goal is personal growth, career development, leadership, or greater well-being, Simone creates a coaching relationship grounded in empathy, accountability, compassion, and possibility.
She doesn't believe in one-size-fits-all transformation. Instead, she meets people where they are, helps them uncover what matters most, and supports them in turning insight into intentional action.
More Than What I Do—It's Who I Am
At the heart of Simone's work is a simple belief:
When people feel seen, heard, valued, and empowered, transformation becomes possible.
She brings that belief into every room, every conversation, every coaching relationship, and every learning experience.
Simone is not simply interested in delivering content. She is interested in creating moments that stay with people.
Moments that spark curiosity.
Moments that challenge assumptions.
Moments that create connection.
Moments that inspire people to see themselves—and the world—differently.
That is the work. And that is the passion.
