I always enjoy listening to Simon. He talks about things like Grace and empathy and compassion. While he’s not outwardly, a man of faith, at least not evident through his speaking, these principles of which he speaks are the tenants of Christianity. Whether you believe Jesus Christ was a messiah, a profit, or a man, he delivered a message over 2000 years ago, in the same manner that Simon delivers it today.

The last 30 seconds, a must watch, an excellent example how a leader should be with his followers, if he is to have!

[@kajita2048]

This last sentence was mind blowing

[@zuleigaagulhas9740]

Very well said Simon 💌 While your words reaches as far as the ears, feeling reaches further into the heart💞💞✌

[@b___manzi]

God Bless You Sir

Grace and empathy are a gift implanted in people’s hearts. If you take this life average lifespan for a human being is 80 years in civilized countries. In most poorest countries that number is way too low. Some countries still have people riding animals for their destinations and when you look at their faces barely 35 -40 of age with no teeth and lead a very difficult lives. All we need is empathy and kindness on this Planet as life is very short.

[@26jaidev]

Grace & empathy are two different words holding one purpose to make you a better human.

[@KYsYooToob]

One of my best experiences was believing I was laid off for a day. The company ended up finding a spot in a different section for me but I got the start of what it feels like.

[@OmarSeljouk]

Real good thought and wonderfully explained. Make a video on how to deal with a toxic environment or boss.

[@terry2588]

amazing wisdom.

[@SanjidaHashi]

So inspiring...

[@brianpayne8721]

Thanks Simon.

Everyone makes mistakes. The problem becomes when you don't learn from those mistakes and you keep repeating them. That's when it comes down to humbling yourself by admitting that you don't know how to fix those mistakes and then asking for help. We're often taught that we have to handle everything on our own but that's not realistic. I ask for help when I'm stuck but I also give help if asked.

[@harmonylifewithjess1593]

Love this 🎉

[@susanramnanan5884]

You are way ahead ❤❤

[@okechukwuohamadike2880]

Beautiful!! ❤

[@mc8627]

Simple, yet effective.

[@KYsYooToob]

The Green Bay Packers hired a new defensive coordinator a few weeks ago. He told the tail of learning that after players seemed to mess up he needs to ask the question, "What did you see?", instead of starting with, "you messed up".

[@diah7980]

Grace

[@willchoe2811]

💯

[@mmurray3639]

that scenario at the end works perfectly well if someone is underperforming for valid reasons. Sometimes people are lazy and take the mick and those people will abuse your good grace for a soft touch

[@adisage]

I think everyone understands that, and such people are easier to spot as well. What Simon is trying to emphasize is how we can effectively manage situations where that is not the case, which is harder and often not much spoken about. And also, it's important to remember to assume to first scenario, rather than jumping to the second conclusion.

[@dubvc1]

deliverance of the message is the only difference, but consequences are the same

[@valeriekang3959]

"Don"t let desperate situations.... make you do desperate things.... ."😅

[@andymjflemming]

How do you suggest navigating bad bosses who try to hold you back ?

[@rh994]

On a side note, why is Simon wearing 2 watches 🤔

[@john-martin]

You either have it or you don't.

[@מיכלמיארה-ש9ע]

You either practice or you don't. What will happen if you will say this for yourself?

[@neelraka3719]

Why 2 watches in 2 hands? Any logic

[@Wurani]

Different time for different Time zones???

[@AngeliqueOpoue]

Ça va chez toi

[@AngeliqueOpoue]

Simon tu ne prends pas de deuxième femme. Je ne te permet pas

[@RiseofMasculine]

To the MEN who is reading this, I wish you all become successful in your lives 🫂

[@mc8627]

Can you expand on that?

[@CoriHarhutch]

Perhaps to WOMEN?

[@JoeKueser]

I wish the same to ALL
