Dr Phil Hopley helps me re-think entrepreneurship and the cult of busy!

This felt like a private advice session and so timely while scaling my business during one of the most challenging times globally.

As entrepreneurs we are excited about our work and presume that working flat out is the only way through!  Dr Phil works with elite performers and challenges this idea explaining  the 1 non-negotiable when it comes to sustaining high performance: RECOVERY!

Dr Phil’s training in forensic, general and sport psychiatry combined with a career playing premiership rugby has enabled him to develop his passion for the mental health of elite performance in sport and business.

We discuss:

  • Cognitive Intervention Techniques
  • Building competence around exposure and opportunity
  • Modelling work Ethic
  • Resilience and being prepared to fail
  • Pursuing things that give you joy
  • The resilience gene
  • Covid-19 resilience & pressures
  • Embedding Recovery behaviours into our lives
  • Achieving balance
  • Promoting the correct mental culture in the workplace
  • Turning catastrophisation into looking for opportunity
