Find Your Voice, Change Your Life #104 Expressways to Conflict Resolution
Today, I interview Phil Blagg. In this captivating interview, we delve into a revelation that has remained hidden for the entirety of his life until now. Throughout the years, Phil guarded a family secret with unwavering dedication, keeping it locked away from the world. As we explore how keeping that secret affected him on his extraordinary journey, it becomes apparent that Phil's experiences may strike a chord within you, resonating with moments from your own life where finding your voice seemed an insurmountable challenge.
With a remarkable career spanning over two decades as a firefighter and later as an Arctic Alaska oil field worker, Phil Blagg has honed his expertise in communication and conflict resolution. Presenting his invaluable services through his company, Express Ways, Phil reflects on the obstacles he faced in his quest for self-expression and its profound impact on his life. For years, he felt stifled, unable to freely articulate his thoughts and opinions, silently grappling with the weight of unspoken words.
Although Phil managed to conquer his stage fright in public speaking, this personal triumph evolved into a transformative foundation that shapes his communication style to this day. Now, his ultimate aspiration is to empower others, guiding them toward discovering their own voices, actively listening to their inner selves, and effectively resolving conflicts that may plague their lives.
