Our guest today is Simon T Bailey, anAward-winning keynote speaker, coach, and author who spent his formative years working in the hospitality business, working for companies like Hyatt and Disney.
In our conversation, we discussed Simon’s approach to leadership and developing people and his fascinating journey. Simon’s story began as the classic American story – starting from the bottom of the ladder in the hospitality business, Simon built a career through commitment and hard work, until he had to take a hard turn. He shares a big mistake he made, and how that stopped his corporate career. His exact word are actually “I totally committed career suicide”.
But as often happens in these cases, crisis becomes a key turning point. Despite the fact he had secured a lucrative corporate offer, Simon decided to follow his passion for speaking in public, teaching and developing people and he bet on himself. The rest is easy to imagine.

Today's guest is Kelly Campbell, a former CEO turned Trauma-Informed Leadership Coach. She is also the author of Heal to Lead: Revolutionizing Leadership through Trauma Healing (Wiley), an inspired keynote speaker and a longtime conservationisttrained by Al Gore as a Climate Reality Leader in 2017.
In this candid and raw interview, Kelly discusses the intersection of personal trauma and professional leadership, and she sheds light on the profound ways that unresolved childhood experiences can shape our leadership styles.
It’s a show – don’t tell type of conversation. She shares the story of how she founded and built a successful digital marketing agency. Kelly talks about the success, but is not afraid to delve into her own leadership challenges which were sparked by a crisis at the tender age of nine.
Like all good stories it has a happy ending, as Kelly takes us through how these experiences led her to a journey of personal, spiritual and professional transformation, and ultimately informed her mission to guide leaders through their past to enhance their influence and effectiveness.

Some business expressions become so overused that they end up losing their meaning. At the end of every episode of Authentic Leadership for Everyday People I ask my guests what is the business jargon that drives them crazy.
It's a question that was designed to get to know them a little better, and maybe be a little irreverent. What I learned 140 episodes in is that the answers span the range from funny to surprising and sometimes deep, and very time they are really insightful.
So here is the 4th yearly anthology, covering guests who were on the podcast the second half of 2023.
