Works and philosophy
Simon T. Bailey, 2015

Bailey's works are often centered on motivating readers to becoming brilliant. According to him, brilliance is released when one is in an environment where they are celebrated, not tolerated. He encourages readers to stop comparing themselves to others.[19][55][56]

Release Your Brilliance focuses on the 4 C's: Clarity: understanding your reason and purpose; Cut: understanding how to frame past experiences; Color: how do I think about what I want to do and how to I get there; Carat: the size of your dream[57] Mark Victor Hansen has been quoted as saying, "Whether you see, hear, or read him, you will enjoy Simon's message, and will inspire you to be, do and have all that you desire. Simon is an original voice that stimulates you to know that you are brilliant and have unlimited potential."[57][58][59]

Bailey asks three questions of his audience to get them to start to reach their full potential:

  1. What would you do if you knew you couldn't fail?
  2. What would you do if no one paid you to do it?
  3. What makes you come alive?[19]

Bailey encourages companies to invest in their employees. He says companies should invest in Personal Brilliance; Leadership Brilliance; Team Brilliance; and Service Brilliance.[19] Personal Brilliance is about bringing your best self to work every day. Leadership Brilliance is about finding ways to bring out the best in people. Team Brilliance is letting the individuals thrive together. Service Brilliance is about turning customer service into customer love.[19][60][61]

Bailey's released The Shift Your Brilliance System, a curriculum to help individuals and corporations find ways to add value to both their work & personal lives.[62] Bailey's encourages individuals to own their careers through micro learning, strategic planning & reinvention.[63][64][65]
