Brian Holaway started Simply Told because of this quote attributed to Jane Addams:
“People did not want to hear simple stories. They wanted to hear great stories, simply told.”
Simply Told works to help organizations realize their full potential by learning more about each other. Who are we? What do we want?

Thoreau said most people live in quiet desperation.
You are not most people.
You are the compassionate explorer, the teammate encourager, and the steadfast partner. You come from a long line of idea cultivators, people uplifters, and playful leaders.
Your role models gained a new perspective by standing on desks, changing the story by training the untrainable, and saving the world by befriending the despised.
You are not most people.
So, how can you accept who you have been and still lead as you are on your way to who you want to be?
Our teams—leaders, partners, groups, and staff—can dream bigger and reach higher. They can live with loud confidence, importance, and respect for each other instead of quiet desperation. They might reach the stars because of it.
So, what path leads to that destination?
It’s the path of challenging work and responsibility, ideas and renewal, and, believe it or not – fun. It’s the path of sharing lives, championing each other’s work, and realizing we can build something of value for others.
Together, we can develop human-centered businesses and create human-centered ideas that change lives.
Because we are not most people.
