About Bill Luth
In a September 2023 testimonial, Bill Luth, Executive Vice President of Global Store Operations, Design & Service Centers at Signet Jewelers, spoke about his experience working with speaker and leadership consultant Simon T. Bailey. Luth stated that Bailey "invests in people" and "dedicates his time, his life, his talents to developing leaders around the world." He described how Bailey asked about Signet's organization, culture, and the needs of its people, and said Bailey "built a relationship from the beginning" to connect with the team.
Luth said that the selection of a speaker for the company's team is "one of the most critical decisions" the leadership team makes and that they are "extremely selective" about who they bring in front of the team. He characterized Bailey's approach as one of "investment to get to know us" and to "build a session that connects in the moment." Luth added that Bailey's "authenticity and his connection" would come through for the team "to inspire, to excite, and more than anything to grow their leadership."

I'll just start with one word: people. Simon invests in people. He dedicates his time, his life, his talents to developing leaders around the world. We are so blessed to have a relationship with Simon. What I'll say about Simon is he connects with people because of the work he puts in to get to know them. When we first met Simon, he asked about our organization, he asked about our culture, he asked about the needs that our people had. He built a relationship from the beginning so he could connect to the culture and the team within the organization. He customizes a program from that place forward based on the needs of the team so they can deliver better results. We believe that the selection of a speaker for our team, for our people, is one of the most critical decisions that we make as a leadership team. So we take the process very, very seriously. I'll be honest, I've searched the world for speakers and we are extremely selective about who we bring in front of our team. What makes Simon different and what makes him right for our team is his investment to get to know us, to build a session that connects in the moment, in the time for us. And more than anything, how his authenticity and his connection will come through for our team to inspire, to excite, and more than anything to grow their leadership. Simon T. Bailey is a partner, he is a mentor, he is a thought leader, he's now a member of our family.
