Bailey.  Simon T. Bailey is an internationally celebrated speaker, author, and consultant and a Catalyst for Brilliance. He quit his high-paying, successful career at Disney to found The Brilliance Institute based on his deceptively simple—yet remarkably powerful—idea that, inside, we all have an inner brilliance that wants to be released. Simon is a fresh voice who has taught more than a quarter of a million people around the world the same transformational system he used to reshape his life.  Our evening will end shortly after 7 pm.  Upon the conclusion of the conference, you are invited to remain at the Arena Grand Theatre and enjoy $5 movie tickets (excludes 3D movies).

Lastly, all attendees will be asked to support the Columbus community by donating at least one item to support the needs of the YWCA Family Center.  Registered attendees will receive additional details regarding needed items closer to the event date.
