From The Archives: Simon T. Bailey

In this episode of the GDA Podcast, Gail Davis and Kyle Davis sit down with Simon T. Bailey, former sales director and new business development director for Disney Institute and leader of the “brilliance movement,” to explore how individuals and organizations can shift their thinking, embrace change, and create meaningful results.

Simon shares lessons from his time at Disney and his work with organizations around the world, exploring what it takes to stay relevant, build a strong culture, and help people take greater ownership of their future. He also explains why leadership isn't about motivating people but creating an environment where they can discover what motivates them.

Key topics include:

• Simon’s journey from Disney leadership to building his own business
• How to shift your thinking and stay relevant in a changing world
• Helping employees embrace change by learning, unlearning, and relearning
• Why great leadership helps people discover how to motivate themselves
• How culture shapes both the employee and customer experience
• Creating workplaces centered on purpose, meaning, and genuine connection

Simon’s message is a reminder that meaningful change starts with how we think, how we lead, and the culture we create for the people around us.
