Biography

My journey reflects a relentless pursuit of personal and professional brilliance, full of unique challenges and remarkable triumphs.

From overcoming academic hurdles in high school to enduring personal hardships—including divorce and a battle with cancer—each chapter of my life has fortified my resolve to rise and inspire others.

Along the way, I’ve shaped an ethos: strength and brilliance holds transformative power. Life’s trials are opportunities to ignite a spark of change and unleash our true potential. By altering our mindset, we unlock endless possibilities, setting off a ripple effect of positive change in every facet of our lives.

Over the past 30 years, I’ve journeyed from the front lines of the hospitality sector to key roles at Disney, and onto stages across over 50 countries, sharing my message of resilience and brilliance.

The credentials that underpin my expertise include a Summa Cum Laude master’s degree from Faith Christian University and three honorary doctorate degrees for global impact. Recently, Cleary University presented me with a Doctorate of Science in Business Administration.

Whether through Brilliant Coaching, fostering the BrilliantU community, or delivering keynote speeches, my goal is the same: to kindle the brilliance within each person I encounter.

Having transformed my own challenges into strengths, I now serve as both a storyteller and a mentor, guiding others through their unique journeys of discovery and growth.

Today, I channel my experiences into empowering and inspiring others, imparting lessons of resilience and the pursuit of brilliance. It’s about transcending challenges, leveraging strengths, and crafting a life filled with impact and fulfillment.

Embracing every moment, from global conferences to reflective writing, I commit myself fully to personal growth and aiding others in realizing their potential. My mission is to share my transformative story, illuminating lives one at a time with the spark of brilliance. And now it’s your turn.

Simon T. Bailey Reviews

“Simon was terrific! I love that he individually met with a handful of attendees prior to conference 1:1 and tailored his presentation towards our audience to make it extra special. He went above and beyond by greeting our attendees the night before his presentation – and as they walked into his session. The conference evaluation comments indicate that Simon knocked it out of the park!”
