Simon Sinek: Founder of The Optimist Company

Leading With Strengths

Top 5 CliftonStrengths: Ideation | Futuristic | Strategic | Communication | Restorative

Described as “a visionary thinker with a rare intellect,” Simon has devoted his professional life to helping advance a vision of the world that does not yet exist -- a world in which the vast majority of people wake up every single morning inspired, feel safe wherever they are and end the day fulfilled by the work they do. A trained ethnographer, Simon is fascinated by the people and organizations that make the greatest and longest-lasting impact. Simon may be best known for his TED Talk on the concept of WHY, which has been viewed over 60 million times, and his video on millennials in the workplace -- which reached 80 million views in its first week and has gone on to receive hundreds of millions of views.
