To skip the intro: 1:20

This is mastery in public speaking. Pauses where needed, voice fluctuation on point, everything about this talk is to learn from, not just the content.

Simon Sinek is an absolute pleasure to listen to, words just flow out of his mouth like a Mozart symphony!

Now it hit me, being last to speak not only a decision making process, but also a kind gesture to let others speak. But what we see is a competition, a power exercise of who gets to speak last.

One of my professors presented me with his speech about starting with why. I have continued to listen to Simon's speeches and appreciate all of his messages. I'm absolutely thankful for that professor for introducing me to Simon's wisdom.

1:23 You're welcome

Rule 1: 3:52 Rule 2: 6:43 Rule 3: 9:32 Rule 4: 11:27 (watch to 12;29) Rule 5: 14:07 (watch to 15;23)

I almost didn't watch this because of the intro.

Simon is a real gem and so are his talks... MAD RESPECT🙏🏼

Simon is one of the best speakers I've heard. Very inspiring. Thank you. God bless you more...

Found your spark, now what? 1. Determination - Go after what you want while not preventing people from getting what they watn 2. Self-accountability - Sometimes the problem is you, take responsbilities for your actions 3. Help - Make it your habit to offer and receive help from others 4. Understand - Listen to your teammates, consider everyone's thoughts fully, and be the last to speak (in sections of conversation) 5. Humility - As you get famous and high-ranked, don't be entitled to what you receive from others, because everybody deserves the same treatment as normal people at the end of the day.

I just admire and salute this wonder man called Simon Senik. His Start with Why and Golden Circle have never stopped amazing me. I use them, in my workshops as well as in my life. There is a lot to learn from him. 1. He ignites sparks. 2. He makes them so so so simple. 3. He is so authentic.

I've spent Christmas with my family. They are all great leaders. Nobody said a thing.

I'm in tears...awe inspiring. Of course i knew it all along ✊😁 Love you guys

The most "real" 5 rules I have heard in awhile. Amaziiiing.

Estupenda conferencia. Me quedo tus 5 Rules.... Gracias, gracias, gracias.

What does one call a typo in a speech? I said renaissance, I meant Age of Enlightenment.

I already saw this speech somewhere else and I thought that it was mind-blowing. Number 4 is my favorite. I am a total empath, but it's true that I shouldn't advise/speak my opinion before I come to understand the other's "capacity" of understanding their issue first. I shall speak last from now on! Thanks, Simon Sinek <3

Simon, I have listened to your "Styrofoam cup" presentation multiple times and it continually resonates with me. After 30+ years with the US government and DoD (US Air Force) I’d noticed (Long with Rules 1-4) many of our leaders have forgotten Rule #5. Simon, you and I are both Hugh Fans of Mr. Bob Chapman's (St Louis, MO) Truly Human Leadership model that current day leaders SEE PEOPLE AS OBJECTS OF OUR THEIR OWN SUCCESS have forgotten about caring of people (No the profits and position) so those people can take care of the mission. I wish your "Styrofoam cup" message could get out to our Freshmen Congresspeople, Future (Ivy League graduates) Corporate business managers and our military leaders (early and often) throughout their careers. Then repeated multiple times over as a reminder the “The Nice Ceramic Cup (Corporate Jets, Hotel Suites and Large Entourages) were never meant for them, just the position they hold.” Your message starting with the Under Secretary of the Air Force (12:50) and summarizing with seeing General Schwartz at the Acela Express (15:27) in Washington DC, then so brilliantly summarized (14:25). Thank you
