Official Feedback from In-Person & Virtual Events
"Our delegates were buzzing when they got back to the office after the BrainWorkshop. Two people said it would change their lives. And many said it was the best workshop that had attended all year. Thank you. Donna Taberer, Programme Manager, Creative Skillset, Series Producer Programme." - Donna
"The great thing about the courses Phil ran at the FT is that you walk out of them with real actionable tips. As a result of putting into practice some of the things Phil covered, I've become more productive, calmer under pressure or in stressful situations and I can now approach problems with a more creative mindset. It would also be safe to say my general mental well-being has benefitted too. Thanks, Phil!" - Daniel
"I was fortunate to attend one of Phil's seminar's that he ran for NBCUniversal executives in Singapore. Phil was simply amazing. His ability to make you think differently and understand highly complex thinking was unique. He ran the best leadership seminar I have ever attended and I would highly recommend Phil to anyone." - Chris
