What if confidence, kindness, and presence could unlock the life you’re really meant to live?

In this thoughtful and uplifting episode, we sit down with Philip Sykes, founder of The British School of Excellence, to explore how etiquette and emotional intelligence go far beyond manners, they're essential tools for building balanced, authentic, and empowered lives.

Drawing from decades of global experience, Philip breaks down how small habits in the way we speak, show up, and connect with others can change everything, at home, in business, and within ourselves.

We explore:
 ✅ The link between etiquette, confidence, and personal empowerment
 ✅ Why emotional intelligence is foundational to success in every area of life
 ✅ How to teach self-respect and social awareness at any age
 ✅ Tools to build charisma, presence, and conscious leadership
 ✅ Creating a culture of excellence, starting with how you treat yourself
