"That was an amazing keynote! Gave me goosebumps!"

Success Catalyst Simon T. Bailey delivers a personal tool chest of actionable strategies to help you rediscover and refocus your unique values and brilliance. Learn to confidently maneuver the business marketplace, grow personally and professionally, and take advantage of the next round of changes. Find your brilliance and position yourself to control your future.

I was poking around the website of keynoter Simon T. Bailey and getting fired up. He writes, "finding success in a changing economy takes more than inspiration and adaptation. It requires aspiration and evolution. In times of change, with market fluctuations and advancements in technology, the one thing you have absolute control of is your own path to success, both personally and professionally."

Everyone possesses potential, insight, genius, and creativity. It’s all just waiting to be released. Sometimes, in order for change and shift to happen, we need to review or walk back over some of the stepping stones of life. Here are some ways Simon suggests re-shaping yourself from the inside out:

• Feed your belief in your future and starve your fear to death.
• To change your outside, look inside to see who is controlling your inner steering wheel.
• Real learning is not about finding the right answers; it is asking the right questions.
• A job is what you are paid to do. Releasing brilliance is what you were born to do!
• When you develop an appetite for the spectacular, you no longer settle for the crumbs of the ordinary.

Here are a few keys to reignite your passion for your career and business.

• In the future you will be paid, promoted, and praised for the value you create.
• Be a dynamic intrapreneur – organizations are looking for men and women who will step up and are willing to be uncommon in their work ethic, professionalism, creativity, performance, and productivity. Own your job!
• Teams are looking for leaders who will challenge them to rise to the occasion and not forget to say thank you for a job well done.
• Raise your hand to volunteer on a project team tacking an issue that impacts your department, division or organization as a whole.
