Phil Jones MBE

Phil Jones is UK Managing Director of a large – household name – technology business.

A practicing business leader, amateur sociologist and motivational speaker, Phil has worked his way up from the ground floor of a multi-national, right to the top job.

Inspiring audiences on topics such as modern day leadership, cultural change, emotional intelligence, futurology in the workplace and his own framework for personal success entitled “UP!” (Unlimited Potential), he has a vast repertoire of topics which he can synthesise down to any business audience.

A former winner of Institute of Directors Manchester Director of the Year and North West Director of the Year, Phil has a long list of awards recognising the energy he puts in to developing his own business and the people around him.  The business was recently awarded one of the Top 100 places to work in the UK by The Sunday Times with the business described as ‘outstanding’ and his personal leadership rating one of the highest placed.

An advocate of new media platforms such as social media, Phil believes the CEO of the new age is the COE – the “Chief Opportunity Engineer” of a business, being the front end inspiration for a community of people in a workplace.  He sees the battle for “H.A.M’ (Hearts and Minds) in the workplace as the only dish of the day for modern day leaders and encourages audiences to ‘turn themselves inside out’ to be their best.

Energetic, brilliant and inspiring are some of the words business audiences have used to describe Phil’s no-nonsense delivery style, love for three letter acronyms and practical takeaways for audiences.

Describing himself as a ‘serial sharer’ – Phil is passionate about the potential of people and business and will have you reaching for your notebook.  A credible, engaging and well demanded speaker, ideal for business conferences of any size or type.
