Controlling the Uncontrollable: The four steps to overcoming adversity.

It might be that a team has just hit rock bottom, or that results are just not happening, or that the pressures are just greater than ever before, and teams and individuals are feeling the strain and ready to buckle.

As the world gets faster, and the challenges become greater, the demands on teams and individuals spiral ever upwards.

At a time when motivation might be low, it’s not a question of just digging deep, or dredging the bottom of a barrel for more enthusiasm.

As someone who has faced considerable adversity, in this engaging and creative session, Phil delivers the key principles that he learned about how highly-successful individuals, teams and businesses achieve outstanding results and reach their goals, regardless of circumstances and external conditions.

What you will learn as a result of this session:

• The 4 stages of overcoming any set-back and turning it all around.
• How to Transform your results, no matter what.
• How to exert more ‘control’ than you ever thought possible.

The aim is that delegates not only feel inspired and motivated by a fresh perspective, but that they leave with practical and immediately usable tools to improve results and generate outstanding success.

Mindset, Motivation, and a Moment of Magic – turning yourself around when the going gets tough.

Many people know what they want… but feel stuck about how to get there and feel ‘stuck’ in a quagmire of busy-ness, but unable to really get what they want from life.

This session is for those people who

• are facing a change, at a crossroads or have hit a plateau in life, career, or business and want to step up to a new level and want to grow.
• are coming out of some unexpected life event that has knocked them off track.
• are experiencing overwhelm, stress, frustration.

This session will help you:

• Simplify
• Figure out what you want
• Create an action plan of how to get it
• Overcome barriers and hurdles that are holding you back

This session provides the mental bandwidth to plan your future, to shift from ‘reactive’ to ‘proactive’, and to be more confident in your future.

The aim is that delegates not only feel inspired and motivated by a fresh perspective, but that they leave with a suite of practical and immediately usable tools to improve their impact and generate outstanding success.

Imposter Syndrome: I suffer(ed) too…

If you suffer from Imposter Syndrome, you are definitely not alone! It is estimated that over 70 percent of people do.

The reality is that to suffer Imposter Syndrome is certainly not unusual. It can, however, be very damaging, often crippling talent. And yet, once aware of it, there are so many ways to inoculate against its effects and overcome it.

In the current climate it is made worse for many in senior positions by a sense of the lack of certainty and control many managers and leaders are experiencing.

What you will learn as a result of this session:

• How to identify Imposter Syndrome in yourself, and in others
• A powerful reframe – a shift in perspective that will prevent it.
• Specific psychological tools to equip you to overcome it.

The aim of this session is that delegates not only feel inspired and motivated by a fresh perspective, but that they leave with a suite of practical, and immediately usable tools to improve confidence, enhance professional performance, and lead to greater fulfilment and success.

Reflections from the White Tunnel

Phil can also talk on his near-death experience (or as he calls it his “death experience” – there was no ‘near’ about it!) from a patient’s perspective and the transformational impact it had on his mental health, mindset, and overall approach to life.

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
