Adversity to Advantage

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.
