Rating Entries

    I admit it. I wasn’t convinced you could do it AGAIN, but you did. Of course I had an inkling, or we wouldn’t have begged you to come back. But the skeptical meeting planner in me had me worrying that it wouldn’t be – couldn’t be the same. I was right. It wasn’t the same…it was BETTER! I’m now 100% convinced. I’ve been “Simon-ized!” Quality education is still the number one component of our mission to meet and exceed our member needs. Our members look to us to provide the best of the best and that’s why I want to work with you again. You epitomize the best.
    California Society of Association Executives

    Your morning keynote made such an impression on the attendees that your afternoon session had one of the largest crowds ever for a breakout in the 25-year history of this conference. Other evidence of your impact was that not a session went by the rest of the day without a quote or reference from one of your presentations. Your entertained us, you inspired us and, most importantly, you taught us how to release your brilliance.

    American Institute of Certified Public Accountants

    Our cast members were inspired by your stories, humor, and authenticity. I was concerned if you would be able to maintain your energy level from 5:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Well, you surprised everyone by your stamina and creativity off-the-cuff. Wow! We appreciate your dedication in partnering with our human resources department in designing a customized presentation for all education levels in our organization. You created a magical moment for our cast.

    American Bar Association

    Everything we read or heard about you, prior to seeing you in action, was true. Your leading-edge, paradigm-shifting program certainly opened up our nonprofit leaders’ minds and showed them how to think about their leadership in a new and different way. Your presentation was insightful and filled with real life examples that demonstrated your various points, thus making it easy to bring home the “fever” to colleagues. Be warned…you just might well have started a “brilliance epidemic” of large proportions in Boca Raton!
    Boca Raton Resort & Club

    Thank you Simon! We heard GREAT feedback on your presentation, and though it was a tricky time slot (after a long day and two hours into an open bar), you did a fantastic job. We will definitely share the good news about Simon Bailey with other meeting planners.
    JPMorgan Chase Bank

    Your presentation received the highest ratings we have ever had. There was never a dull moment and you had full audience attention for 3 hours – unbelievable. It was astounding to see such audience control.
    Florida Safety Council

    As I talked to many conference attendees they had nothing but rave reviews about your presentation. The thing that I heard over and over was that you were so prepared, that you really knew your audience, and that you were filled with motivating energy. Yet you were real and “unscripted”. As someone who attended all three of your sessions with us, what I found most distinctive is that each session was absolutely tailored to the specific audience, and I was able to take a little something different away from each one.
    Metavante

    Our participants thoroughly enjoyed the presentation and already they are asking for more. Many have indicated that they have learned a lot and that they are looking forward to sharing the information with colleagues who were unable to attend. In moving forward we will continue our alliances with you in an effort to build the Customer Service landscape in Jamaica to international standards.
    Jamaica Customer Service Association

    Words simply cannot adequately express the remarkable impact Simon made on our organization. Simon creates energy, enthusiasm and passion! He’s been blessed with the phenomenal talent of removing all possible intimidating factors from the environment, thus creating an atmosphere for attendees to share situations affecting their lives, both personal and professional. The fact that he assigned accountability partners for each team member allowed us to carry his message with us not only for that day, but every day we come to work.
    ISP Sports, Inc.

    If you have met Mr. Bailey, you know that he is many things, not the least of which is a powerful and compelling speaker. His message about Customer Service, delivered to our highly experienced management team was remarkable – strong, targeted and memorable. He held the audience spellbound all the way.
    Hudson Group

    Many of our members and supporters are senior executives in the performance improvement industry. It’s a tough crowd to please. They are best characterized as the “been there and done that” type.

    Simon T. Bailey is a phenomenally gifted speaker. The depth of his passion is ever evident in his delivery, his mannerisms, and his ability to communicate a message that transcends race, age, creed, and gender. I have never in my 30+ years of employment experienced such a spirit of camaraderie and unity among co-workers as I did the evening of our Leadership Conference. People were genuinely touched by Mr. Bailey’s words. Anyone having the opportunity to hear him speak should take every advantage, because Simon truly has something to say!
    Lane Hospitality

    Well, it′s unanimous…you were a huge hit with the Southern HealthCare Team and our Sovereign HealthCare facility leaders. Many of your key points are still resonating within our company. It was truly amazing to see how much valuable information you could fit into such a short time span.
    Southern Healthcare Management, LLC

    I want to express my sincere appreciation to you for your inspiring presentation in New Orleans. I often receive the best feedback “in the streets” and everyone was “abuzz” after your presentation. Post keynote speech, folks were giving you rave reviews which only confirms the importance of your words. My thanks to you for touching the hearts and minds of the BCBSA folks in attendance.
    Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield

    Thank you, thank you, thank you! Your presentation this week to our top sales performers was upbeat and, of course, inspirational. I have had many positive comments from our attendees. Realize that last year some of these folks had Cal Ripken as their lunch speaker, so this was a tough crowd to impress.
    Sun Trust Bank

    Your presentation made such a positive impact on those who attended and the conversations they brought back to the office – people are still talking. I’ve noticed that many of the staff have placed the group assignments on the walls as a reminder of the wonderful experience.
