Ignite the Power of Women in Your Life

The Launch of a Movement from a 3-Minute Video that went Viral to 90 Million! A True Manual for Gender Equity

It started very simply when Simon T. Bailey’s daughter Madison walked into his home office and asked for a few moments of his time. Simon, engrossed in a project, seemed preoccupied even though he said OK. So, disappointed, Madison said she’d just see him later. It was then that Simon had an epiphany! He had missed an important moment to be there for her, to be “a tuned-in and loving father.” That if he didn’t change his ways, Madison would likely end up in relationships with men who didn’t have time for her, repeating the pattern. It was a revelation that changed his life—and may even have changed the world! Did it have impact? Ask the 90 million people who watched him recount this experience on a 3-minute video on Goalcast.com. It was just a moment of sharing something he learned, but the overwhelming response to the video — including 6,000 comments and 233,746 shares — told Simon he had struck a chord. And so, he began the quest to become a better father, husband, lover and supporter of the women in his life that resulted in his blockbuster new book, “Ignite the Power of WOMEN In Your Life: A Guide for MEN.”

The book is also a snapshot of a leader at a Fortune 500 company who had everything—the car, the house, the children in private school and a wonderful wife and lost it all. But it was in listening to the women in his life that he regained everything that was meaningful to him.
