Phil Olley's 2024 biography

About Phil Olley

Having had an exciting military career, Phil entered business in 1990. His experience of leadership in the military coupled with his ‘business baptism’ in sales, and a passion about how to overcome adversity, ensure his speeches are packed with real-life examples, delivered with creativity and clarity.

Author of 3 books (currently working on his fourth), Phil is no stranger to the media. He has written articles and columns for many magazines, has appeared on prime-time TV a number of times, and regularly features on BBC radio.

Over twenty plus years, Phil has distilled the ingredients of success into The NEXUS Code, a suite of practical concepts and tools he uses with individuals, teams and businesses, to create breakthroughs in results whilst at the same time increasing personal and professional fulfilment.

The Nexus Code

A vast number of myths have grown up in the field of personal development, peak performance, and success. And because these myths sound as if they might work, because they seem as if they ought to work, people often unwittingly stick with them, even when they don’t work!

Over the past 20+ years, Phil has created a coded action plan for success, utilising a suite of psychological focus techniques, professional action tools, and goal-getting strategies that allow anyone, from any walk of life, any field of endeavour, to achieve better results and reach their goals.
The NEXUS Code is a simple, practical system to help you make any change you want.

The Nexus Code will help you –

  • Elevate your life, your business, your career.
  • Improve results in all areas of life… business results, sales results, health, relationships, finances, happiness.
  • Remove stress, anxiety, hassle, frustration, and get you “out of the quagmire.”
  • Gain confidence – the power to unleash the real YOU.

His powerful message has his audiences fully engaged and his assured style creates a lasting connection.

Stepping up to the Start Line – Goals, Focus, and Motivation for Young Adults

(This is typically for those in the age range 16-25).

What do you want to be?

As a young adult, it can be bewildering, scary, and challenging to be faced with an array of options and opportunities.

In the current climate this has been heightened when so much of what was previously taken for granted has been denied to young people… and the impact on mental health, decision-making, and connection with the world has been so damaging.

Many young adults come under increasing pressure to make significant choices in life based on exam results, external pressures, and career options in a rapidly changing world.
It’s no wonder they can find it a stressful time, and often feel their choices are limited.

Over 20+ years, Phil has coached individuals and teams in all walks of life and has distilled the ingredients of success into just a few core principles that anyone can use to reach personal fulfilment.

Phil speaks about how to carve out success and what really makes the big difference in achieving that success.

This session is packed with specific examples, and practical tips and ‘life hacks’ that any young adult can use immediately to become more focused, more positive about the future, and live a happier, more fulfilled and more successful life.

What you will learn as a result of this session:

  • How to get to your ‘Start Line’, regardless of where you are coming from.
  • The 9 reasons people don’t reach their full potential, and what to do about it.
  • The number one key factor in your success
