What Simon T. Bailey's clients say
"Select Dr. Simon T. Bailey as your keynote speaker! Simon presented the closing keynote, Shift Your Brilliance: Navigating and Flourishing in the Evolving Workplace, at New York City SHRM’s Annual HR Conference, Navigating NEXT. His message was timely, powerful, and inspirational! His presentation style was engaging and energetic. Add to that a very joyful, infectious laugh and you have presentation gold. On behalf of New York City SHRM, I highly recommend Dr. Simon T. Bailey!"
"His sole purpose in life is to improve the lives of others and bring them to live lives of true brilliance & passion, operating from levels higher than they ever thought possible. He was the keynote speaker for our first-ever True to You Leadership Summit and had everyone in the room engaged and eager for more. His larger-than-life energy engulfed the room and made you feel like he was sharing his wisdom directly with you. Simon is a difference-maker with a very special set of skills. Thanks, Simon for all you do to make us brilliant."
"It was terrific to have Simon as the host and a keynote speaker at our virtual annual conference. His positivity, joy, and sense of humor are contagious. He’s an energizing speaker with a natural curiosity, and he set the perfect tone for our conference."
"This was a virtual event, so we needed someone with positive energy and enthusiasm to get everyone inspired and capture people's attention, and Simon’s talk certainly accomplished this. Simon was careful to incorporate direct references, tips, and takeaways for our industry, which was a great strength of the program. He earned great ratings from our attendees. I will definitely consider him for other event opportunities, and I highly recommend him for program content on business, communications, and leadership topics."
"He dedicates his time, his life, and his talents to developing leaders around the world. We are so blessed to have a relationship with Simon, and what I will say about Simon is he connects with people because of the work he puts in to get to know them. When we first met Simon, he asked about our organization, he asked about our culture, he asked about the needs that our people had. He built a relationship from the beginning so he could connect to the culture and the team within the organization."
"After not having a conference for 2 years, I needed someone that was motivational, but on point with what we’re focused on. Our focus right now is about enhancing and elevating our customer experience for our client’s customers, and everything in Simon’s message is what we need our network to hear about sparking that customer experience. Simon really nailed all of the things that were important to us, whether it was communication or the passion that you need to have in customer service."
"The bottom line is Simon is brilliant, and he brings out the brilliance in other people by being 100% present, and he’s always willing to share all of his experiences, his wins, his challenges that he had and has overcome. He shares all of it with you with one purpose: to bring out the brilliance in other people. So, Simon, you know that I admire you, and I am just honored that every time we have a conversation, it’s compelling, and it helps to bring out the brilliance in me so that I can turn around and give it away."
"We just ended our huge annual event, and Simon T. Bailey knocked it out of the park! He received a standing ovation. People hung around afterward to shake his hand and meet with him, and he reached our audience and connected with them. When you can make them laugh and cry and not hear a pen drop, you know you have a winner with Simon."
"After listening to Simon, I felt stronger to thrive in my circle of resilience. I exist now because I’m needed now—open to new ideas and to celebrate, not just tolerate others. I will take my M.E.D.S. as well as read, write, and reflect every day. I will ensure I made a difference and added value today. What a wonderful speaker! It’s always uplifting to hear Simon’s positive insights!"
"This session was inspiring because of not only Simon’s messaging, but his delivery which was honest, engaging, and personal. He was also able to connect the audience to each other, doubling the impact of his message. Align yourself within so that you can embrace change with positivity."
