Any person or organization can explain what they do. Some can explain how they are different from the rest. Very few can clearly articulate why. The WHY is not about money or profit—those are results. The WHY inspires us and those around us.
When Simon discovered the WHY, it changed his life. His bestselling book, Start with WHY, and viral TED Talk, How Great Leaders Inspire Action, have inspired millions of people and organizations worldwide to think, act, and operate from the inside out.
