About Phil Olley

In creating this site, Phil has been adamant all along that it must not be about him, but a resource to help you FOCUS on PURPOSE.

As he says:

“My mission is being the most significant factor in your success
 other than you yourself."

He conceded, however, that it was relevant to include a brief outline biography, so...

Following an exciting military career, Phil Olley entered business in 1990. From his subsequent wide experience of sales and business, he began to distil the ingredients of success into clearly understandable principles and in 1997 began consulting with a number of businesses and individuals to help them grow their businesses, generate peak performance, and achieve their goals.  

He established Phil Olley Consulting in 1999 following a Life-threatening (and life-changing) near death experience, and quickly became a sought-after inspirator, coach and presenter.  

He has written articles and columns for business magazines, and has featured in the national press. His first book, Counting Chickens – The ‘Nexus’ principles for personal and professional development -  first published in 2003, and reprinted in 2011, “went international”, a second edition being specially produced for an Asian audience.

Phil regularly features on BBC radio and contributes to national press articles, and prime-time TV programmes, including being interviewed on the Richard & Judy show.

He was one of a select group of speakers chosen to address The Business Start-Up show at London’s prestigious Excel conference centre, attended by over 15,000 people.
 
In addition to speaking at conferences and business events, and running masterclasses and seminars, he works with select individual clients on a one-to-one basis; in both the UK, and throughout the rest of the world; from Europe, to USA, and to the Far East.

As well as working with many commercial organisations, Phil's performance coaching methods and processes have been adopted in programmes with UNICEF and The World Food Programme.

He is founder and broadcaster of The FOCUS Gym, a truly unique programme – available worldwide as a daily 7-minute conference service helping individuals from all professions, all walks of life, to achieve outstanding personal results.

Despite what you may think, and although much of Phil's material and approach has a grounding in practical psychology, Phil has no formal psychology training, and is not a psychologist or mind-reader or any other type of "wizard-guru"!
