RELEASE YOUR BRILLIANCE:

4 Steps to Transforming Your Workplace and Creating Lasting Value

Not another generic motivational program – this is a fresh, new way of thinking.

Not a superficial Exercise after which everyone returns to old habits – this is an action-oriented method that leads to real change and real results.

Every individual in your organization possesses brilliance – potential, insight, genius, innovation, and ideas that can make the organization efficient and profitable.

Here’s what your organization gains by a commitment to releasing individual brilliance:

† Unlock vaults of positive energy, engagement, and team synergy that create true value for your organization and its customers.
† Ignite individual inspiration and a sense of individual responsibility.

† Gain a sustainable source of value and growth by investing in the tools people need to take charge of their own development.

 

Release Your Brilliance is based on Simon T. Bailey’s lifetime of professional and personal experience. Simon has been called a true change catalyst who models personal transformation by sharing with others how he cracked the code and turned his own life around after struggling for years with disillusion, defeat, and despair. Building on proven concepts from his book of the same name (HarperCollins, 2008), Simon guides people through the steps needed to create lasting change using a memorable diamond metaphor.

This program challenges every participant to dig deep, develop an action plan, and take personal responsibility for their impact. Participants consistently come away from Simon’s sessions energized, inspired, and ready to engage in the task of releasing their personal brilliance at work.

BIO - Simon T Bailey

Simon Says – Release Your Brilliance

For Simon T. Bailey, there’s no such thing as ordinary. Like Thomas Jefferson, the thought leader, author and renowned speaker believes we are all endowed with certain unalienable rights; but to the notion of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, Simon adds that it is the responsibility of each of us to unlock the true brilliance buried deep within.

Simon’s convictions were forged as the son of an immigrant father from Jamaica and further cultivated by a career in travel and tourism – an industry that aggressively promotes natural and cultural brilliance found in destinations around the world. Experience gleaned in leadership roles with influential organizations like the Walt Disney Company helped him foster an in-depth understanding of the formidable challenges, pressures and risks that business faces on a daily basis.

Although his sanity was questioned with his decision to depart the security of corporate life and take the entrepreneurial leap, his belief in brilliance has been validated by the remarkable success of the Brilliance Institute – his own venture dedicated to helping others chart a life-changing path to self-discovery.

He has helped thousands find fulfillment in their careers and joy in their lives through his best-selling books – Release Your Brilliance, Simon Believes…Brilliant Service is the Bottom Line, Simon Believes… Success is an Inside Job and Simon Says Dream: Live a Passionate Life. As an author, speaker and personal mentor/coach, his mission is to re-awaken people’s genius and help businesses, organizations and individuals achieve their full potential.

His perspectives and inspiring views have helped thousands of C-Suite leaders and employees re-ignite their personal brilliance. He’s addressed globally-recognized organizations like CNN News Services, Microsoft, McDonald’s, Nationwide, University of Phoenix, Society for Human Resource Management and American Hospital Association, and personally mentored leaders of Fortune 1000 companies.

What draws people to Simon and his inspirational messages are his contagious energy, compassion, and humor. This has led to him being recognized by Speaker magazine as one of the Top 25 Hot Speakers and being named Speaker of the Year by Meeting Professionals International-San Diego Chapter. His commitment to community also resulted in recognition as Central Florida’s “Man of the Year.”

His words of wisdom and compassion have been featured in numerous newspapers, magazines, and internet sites. He holds a master’s degree from Faith Christian University, which also recently awarded him an honorary doctorate for his global impact. Simon lives a happy and fulfilling life in Central Florida with his wife and two children.
