I’m Phil Jewell, a graduate from the prestigious Royal Military Academy of Sandhurst and subsequent leader within the British, Canadian, and US Army, before working in the Provincial and Federal Governments. I have led and worked across countries, continents, and cultures.
I am by no means claiming to be a great leader. Instead, I see myself as a high performance athletic coach; I’m an OK athlete myself, but not a world class one. However I believe I know what it takes to become one. Importantly, I also believe in something bigger, something better, when it comes to leadership. A topic that we have over complicated and over theorised. It’s time to get back to basics. It’s time to stop overrating our technical abilities while underrating our character. It’s time to talk about mindset and not just skillset.
Your employee retention and engagement worries are not a management or human resources problem; they’re a leadership problem.
Phil set the tone for our 2 day retreat. His relatable style and depth of lived experienced resonated with the group as was obvious from the numerous call backs to his key points throughout the rest of the retreat. I highly recommend working with Phil Jewell as a high-impact collaborator for your next offsite or retreat.
I was fortunate to be a part of Phil’s workshop around becoming a Purpose Driven Organization, and it was a truly transformative day. He delivered engaging content with interactive activities, providing a fresh perspective that challenged conventional thinking. The workshop was not only insightful but also deeply motivating, leaving us inspired to apply the knowledge in our roles and organization. As an executive leader, I highly recommend Phil for a dynamic and impactful learning experience. His openness and knowledge leads to an unforgettable journey toward growth.
Thank you for the great team session; it absolutely met my expectations. I think you did a great job of holding space with the content and following the group discussion, taking time to unpack the material as it was landing with the team. You stayed in the space of “non-expert” while also demonstrating that you have learned experience as a leader and shared this through story telling vice PowerPoint slides. This was something that resonated with everyone – your real-life experience and what you took from those to enhance your growth as a leader. The reflection exercises were meaningful and tied to this notion of individuals making up a collective, where everyone has a role to play in workplace culture. I feel like this session was a step up from foundational and took as to the next level. THANK YOU!!
Not stale, corporate management training dressed as leadership. But real leadership.
