Today? He works 4 days a week. He's the fittest and happiest he's ever been. His staff love where they work. And his business is more profitable than ever.

In this interview, Phil shares what changed over his year inside Lead From The Front™ - and how leading himself first changed everything else.

If you're working all the hours and wondering how long you can keep it up, this one's for you.

Getting through the day on caffeine. Crashing in the afternoon. Too knackered to be present in the evenings.

It's not because you're weak or lazy... it's because you're trying to lead on an empty tank.

Energy isn't something you find. It's something you build. In this video I walk you through the three areas that take leaders from running on empty to having the energy to lead:

1. High Impact Training
2. Smart Nutrition
3. Recovery Rituals

For each one, I cover the mistake most leaders make and one thing you can start this week.

If your team seems hesitant, defensive, or keeps dropping the ball, the issue might not be what you're saying. It might be what they're picking up from you before you've even opened your mouth.

When emotion is high, intelligence is low. If you're running on empty and neglecting your own recovery, your team doesn't hear your message... they hear your stress.

In this video I cover:
- Why stress makes you a worse decision maker and communicator
- How it shows up in you, and how your team reacts to it
- Why leadership skills on their own won't fix it
- Four practical things to do before your next team conversation

Ever been really clear with a team member or a client about something that matters, and they still don't follow through? And it keeps happening, again and again?

In this video I break down why that happens, and what to do instead so the important stuff actually gets done.

Being clear on its own isn't enough.

Your tone of voice has to match how important the thing actually is. A lot of leaders downplay what matters because they want to come across as chilled. Then they're surprised when people treat it as optional.

Lead From The Front™ helps people become strong leaders through three steps:

1. Lead Yourself First
2. Look After Your Health
3. Lead Others With Impact

Also available as an audio episode wherever you get your podcasts.

One of the biggest problems leaders are facing is that they cannot rest without feeling guilty.

Never-ending to-do list. Working late. Training through fatigue. Feeling like you'll lose progress the second you slow down. And when you do finally sit on the sofa, your brain is still running through everything you haven't done.

In this video I share five principles to help you rest without the guilt:

1. Rest is a requirement, not a reward
2. Know the signs to look out for
3. Set a clear finish line
4. Find things to switch on to, not switch off
5. Set clear boundaries

Most leaders try to get better at leading by adding more skills. Better communication. Better delegation. Another course, another book.

But if you're running on stress, poor sleep and an empty tank, none of it sticks. You're building a house of cards.

In this episode I explain why leadership has to start with you. Your health, your energy, your stress, your personal life. Get that foundation right first and your leadership improves as a result, instead of being a separate project you never have the energy for.

I recorded this one on the beach on purpose. It's where I think clearest, and it's a reminder that looking after yourself isn't time away from leading. It's part of the job.

Lead From The Front™ helps founders and senior leaders lead themselves like they lead everyone else.
