Phil Olley is a sought-after inspirational speaker and international author, who speaks on Transformational Change, Team Engagement, and Resiliance.

When all around seems volatile, when the going is tough, when it feels as if the seas are stormy, the effect on teams, businesses, and individuals is one of uncertainty and disruption leading to diminished engagement, impacting performance and results.

What can you do to keep your head above water, stay engaged, and perform brilliantly?

As the world gets faster, the challenges become greater, and the demands on teams and individuals spiral ever upwards, many people feel they are on a treadmill, in a quagmire of endless “busy-ness”, never getting a moment to truly engage, and unable to work proactively. It becomes exhausting, energy sapping, and intensely frustrating.

In this entertaining, engaging, and creative session, Phil delivers a highly practical toolkit of immediately useable principles and techniques to help you stay ‘on top of your game’ and maintain effectiveness in any challenging environment, helping you to thrive in a smooth, fully aligned and cohesive way.

What you will learn as a result of this session

· The heart, mind and soul of handling change – the fundamental principle on which all success depends.

· Phil’s unique M-A-R-S formula (nothing to do with “work, rest, and play”!) to help navigate any change and create alignment, engagement, and sustained success.

· How to create a culture of achievement, transforming results, and developing induividual and team fulfilment.

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

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

What you will learn as a result of this session:

  • How to Transform your results, no matter what.
  • How to shift from the reactive mindset to the proactive.
  • 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 a suite of practical, and immediately usable tools to improve results and generate outstanding success.

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.

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.

Phil is “the guy who died”.

He describes the moment he woke up on a pavement, surrounded by paramedics, and recounts his full ‘white tunnel experience.’

In this keynote speech, Phil talks about his dramatic near-death experience (or as he calls it his “death experience” – there was no ‘near’ about it!) and the transformational impact it had on his mindset and overall approach to life.

Phil describes the moment he died – everything he saw, what he heard, everything he felt, and the whole experience as he descended the white tunnel to reach what he describes as “the moment of clarity.”

He reflects on how this has impacted him, the effect on his understanding of resilience, mental toughness, overcoming adversity, transformational change, and how to create fulfilment in whatever you do in life.

Delegates will be ‘moved’, emotionally engaged, and ultimately uplifted in this powerful session. It is truly memorable and positively impactful
