To achieve this, our partnership goes beyond traditional executive coaching. Using a rich tapestry of transformational methodologies, we explore:
- Unconscious patterns shaping your leadership
- How to best leverage your unique intrinsic and extrinsic motivations 
- A holistic performance strategy to help you achieve sustainable excellence

My approach combines warmth with direct challenge, creating a rare space where:
- Complex questions find clarity
- Blind spots become breakthrough insights
- Leadership presence deepens naturally
- New unseen potentials unfold

Drawing from expertise in human behaviour and transformational change, I offer strategic insight and personal partnership. You'll find support for immediate challenges while developing lasting mastery of your inner landscape.

Certified Personal Trainer

I'm a workplace wellbeing specialist - cool, but what does that mean?

It means I work with HR to deliver wellbeing outcomes.

I've been doing this since 2011 - it's what I love to do with my time and what I'm best at.

I've designed wellbeing programs and strategies for dozens of companies and tens of thousands of people across a range of industries. 

My mission is to help organisations create healthier, happier, and more productive workforces by providing effective and evidence-based wellbeing initiatives, whatever that may look like (no two programs are ever exactly the same). 

If you want to work with me, here's all the ways you can:

1. Book a Team Wellbeing Dynamics Workshop: For teams who want to become high functioning units.

2. Hire me as a consultant: To help you figure out where to start, what to do and how to do it when it comes to workplace wellbeing.

3. Have me run a psychosocial safety hazard and psychological safety assessment: We all want and need them but it’s tough to know where to start with these.

4. Get your very own Workplace Wellbeing Specialist: To upskill your people in health and wellbeing (through regular individual consultations) and work with you to optimise your work environment to make it easier for your people to be healthy and well.

5. Book me as a speaker: Conferences, off-sites, webinars, retreats, lunch and learns, I've done 'em all and I'll do 'em again. I can and will talk to your people about all aspects of health and wellbeing including wellbeing dynamics, health fundamentals, mental resilience, habit change and heaps more.

6. Get some wellbeing initiatives: Want to book a massage therapist? Skin checks? Health checks? Meditation sessions? Group yoga? Group training? Healthy cooking demonstrations? Mental Health First Aid training? Regular First Aid training? Easy. We do it all so just ask.

If any of these look like something you could use, send me a DM.

Phil Wolffe

I have a business motto that's allowed me to enjoy every part of my life while building a company and job that I genuinely love.

"Get paid to do fun s**t that helps people."

I see it every morning when I wake up and it reminds me of what I should be focusing on.

Every business decision I make goes through this filter:

1. Is it fun?

2. Does it help people?

3. Do I get paid to do it?

Not everything is going to hit all three every time but the closer I can get, the better that decision is for me. 

It's a good balance between helping people (a large part of my overall purpose), enjoying myself (a large part of the meaning of life) and having enough money to provide for myself and my family (the only real function of money). 

This is probably not the most efficient or effective way to run a business but it's allowed me to build a life I genuinely enjoy.

And it's how I maintain enthusiasm in what I do - which for mine is the greatest longevity hack there is. 

This is not business advice.

And there are many ways to approach life and business - many of them valid. 

These are just the Monday ramblings of a boy, standing in front of a week, getting paid to do fun s**t that helps people.

Workplace Wellbeing Specialist | Building Sustainable High Performance in Teams | Replacing EAP with a Better Way

Saturday was a proper and unexpected energy fill up for me. 

I recharge a little differently than most. 

Of course I like massages and yoga and saunas and all that jazz, but Saturday had none of that. 

It was coffee with my parents in the morning, putting up our Christmas tree at lunch, then a day spent on the couch with my partner and a few beers while we watched the cricket together. 

We then went to a pub packed with 20-somethings and finished watching the single best day of test match cricket I’ve ever seen (and I’ve seen a few). 

Being part of the energy of that entire experience was like being plugged directly into the wall - especially for someone who usually gets their energy from being alone. 

Now I feel ready to get stuck in to a big 4 weeks to end the year - which is fortunate, because it’s going to be a very big 4 weeks. 

It makes me curious - what’s an unorthodox source you get your energy from?

When it comes to LinkedIn, it’s important to know how to separate the signal from the noise (and there’s more noise than ever).

Here’s how I’ve done it:

I have a clear purpose for being here
The reason I’m on here is to connect with and learn from interesting people, to teach usable wellbeing skills, and to find and connect with potential clients and vendors. 

I curate who I follow
Don’t follow people just because you know them. Follow people who teach you, challenge you and inspire you. 

I unfollow people regularly.
If I don’t find value in your posts, I’ll unfollow you. Simple as that. 

I reach out to people.
If someone is doing something I find interesting, I’ll reach out to them and let them know.

I turn on/off notifications
As people/posts pop up in my notifications, I curate them carefully and turn off the ones I don’t care about and keep the ones I do. 

I engage with interesting posts/people
Every time I see a post that genuinely interests me I’ll like and/or comment on it so more people see it (and I see more like it). 

I take breaks
Sometimes I get absolutely jack of the platform so I take a break and stay away until I feel like I can handle a bit more. 

It’s no secret that on this platform it’s getting harder and harder to separate the signal from the noise, but there’s still a lot of value here - you just have to look for it.

Actual footage of me seeing lunch delivered before I do a workshop.

If you're doing lunch at your speaking event, make sure you offer it to your speakers.

Even if we say no, we appreciate it and we'll never forget you.

It's that time of year again...

The simple reality of wellbeing in teams:

Healthy teams are built by 2 (intentional) things:

1. Building health skills:

- Communication.
- Conflict management.
- Energy management.
- Stress identification and management.
- Foundational health: sleep, movement, nutrition, recovery.

2. Designing an environment where those skills are easy to use

- Sane workloads (not 100% capacity).
- Real flexibility (not performative).
- Time to move.
- Leaders who role-model self-care.
- Useful support.
- Equipment that works.
- Clear, open communication.
- Effective meeting guidelines.

That's how you systemise wellbeing.

Having a healthy team isnt luck, it's a skillset applied daily, which anyone can learn.

When you pair skilled people with a supportive system, you get a self-sustaining loop:

Better habits - better energy - better work - better culture - and around and around.

So, to get the best our of your people, invest in both: skills + systems.

That's how you build a healthy workforce.

What Australia needs a lot more of right now - love, support, compassion, and blood.

Please give generously.

The first three, to everyone you meet.

The third, only to licensed professionals, please.

Sustainable performance is not about having higher highs, it’s about having higher and fewer lows. 

Your best might be better than Bruce’s, but if Bruce’s normal and worst are better than yours, old Brucey boy is going to outperform you in the long run. 

So how do you make your worst better?

Here’s 3 ways that work:

1. Build the things that give you energy into your day as a non-negotiable (quality sleep, meaningful movement, good nutrition, hydration, sunlight, regular breaks, fun, connection/alone time).

2. Aim for 85% - if you give 85% effort, you’ll get 85% results - probably forever. If you give 100% effort, you’ll get 100% results for a short time, but those results will start to diminish over time (while you’re still giving 100% effort). 

3. Maintain enthusiasm  - do whatever it takes to maintain (or recapture) your enthusiasm for your work. You’ll come by energy much more easily if you actually like what you do. 

This is obviously a very simplified view but that's because this is simpler than we tend to make it.

If you’ve got any tips for sustained performance (especially at this time of year) I’d love to hear them.

Burnout, energy, commitment, leadership, purpose, skills, f**k spin class. 

When your friend has an awesome podcast (and is a great host) you actually get to blow past all the “thanks for having me, let’s be super professional” gear and talk about real stuff. 

Shelley Johnson thanks for having me. I’m glad we weren’t super professional.

If you're struggling to get people back into the office, I have an invention that will help.

It's an AI-powered microwave that chooses whether or not to cook your food based on the smell it will produce.

All you do is put your prospective meal in it - it analyses it using highly advanced thingies, and then chooses one of three options:

1. It decides your food is acceptable and heats it up for you to enjoy (eg. lasagne, Pho, tomato or cream-based pastas etc.).

2. It decides your food is ok but shouldn't be heated all the way - just enough to 'take the cold off it' (eg. vegetable dishes, chicken, most soups).

3. It decides your food is completely unacceptable and disposes of it via a chute in the bottom (eg. anything with seafood in it). 

I call it the Waitaminutewhatareyoucooking and it's set to revolutionise the office space. 

Now accepting investors for an early 2026 launch.

If you're struggling to get your tream back in the office, I have an invention that will make it much easier.

It’s an AI powered microwave that detects the food to be cooked and can choose to either heat it, reject it, or automatically dispose of it in an airtight canister based on the projected smell level of said food. 

I call it the 'Microwaitaminutewhatareyoucooking' and it’s set to revolutionise the break room and put an end to a squabble as old as time. 

Not sure if your food is annoying other people? 

Put it into our patented contraption and let AI decide for you. 

Now accepting investors for launch in early 2026.
