Today my Guest is Phil Farrington, Phil spent 22 years in The Royal Air Force before moving into civilian life to work as the Head of Food Safety for organisations including Harrods and Delaware North.

In the podcast we talk about the challenges Phil faced in transitioning from working in the armed forces to commercial businesses. The skills that he could transfer to the workplace but that attitudes he couldn’t.

We talk about the compassion Phil has received at work and how working with a clinical psychologist has been pivotal for Phil to better understand and manage his mental health.  

Phil gives a candid account of his challenges, how he’s re-evaluated his priorities and why his new Alsatian puppy has been one of his saviours during a difficult period.   

Phil shows great courage in this discussion, and I really appreciate him for coming on the podcast to share his story and I hope it helps anyone out there suffering in the workplace.
