Peter Wilcock – Facing Fear

August 27, 2020

In this episode, we sit down for an insightful discussion with former Virgin Media COO, Peter Wilcock.

A successful mentor, author and podcast host, Peter believes that the key to leading people is good communication, and explains how this belief led to the use of analogies throughout his career and eventually within his book, ‘Camel in the Tent’. These analogies lend themselves to be used as a way to understand certain situations or circumstances, and how these can be overcome or viewed with a different perspective.

A father of two girls, Peter’s mission is to teach them not to react to judgement and not to seek approval. This sentiment is something that he carries through his daily life and career, whether it be mentoring or writing, Peter’s beliefs are clear – ‘you are who you are’.

This episode is a fantastic session that proves being out of your comfort zone and facing fear head on, can lead to amazing results.
