Phil Wilkinson and I only met for the first time two months ago.
Phil is a highly talented and dedicated global PR and communications professional and mental fitness coach.
As Head of PR and Communications at World Rugby for the past seven years, Phil was responsible for implementing and driving World Rugby’s communications strategy, as the sport seeks to continue its successful growth and inspire a new generation of fans.
He has worked across external and internal communications, events and fan-engagement in a leading Olympic sport with a global fanbase of over 800 million.
Wilkinson was previously employed by the Rio 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games Organising Committee, where, as International Media Manager, he led the development and execution of an international communications strategy to engage a global audience of over four billion. Previous to these roles, he's had highly influential and senior roles within the world of international sport.
Our conversation just fizzed along!! I loved hearing Phil's perspective on beautiful mess his own experience with mental health and his passion about empowering others with this same deeper level of awareness around mental fitness.
Enjoy, share and tell us what you loved!
