Episode 12: Steve Phillip - Using Lived Experience to Champion Suicide Prevention Artwork

Taming the Tiger

Recently we have witnessed a wellbeing climate change in the workplace, which has had a negative impact on mental health and wellbeing. With this new podcast series, we will be discussing how we tame the tiger.What is the tiger? The tiger is the danger, the trigger that can impact our wellbeing and the wellbeing of those around us. When talking about 'Taming the Tiger' we're referring to how we deal with the dangers and threats to our wellbeing which we all face. Our illustrious hosts, Ross Abbott and Ellice Whyte explore what the concept means, what tigers we may face and subsequently how we go about taming those tigers. Monthly, we have whipped up a host of tamers from across diverse industries to explore what the Tiger looks like to them, how they go about taming the tiger and if they have tamed the tiger for others.

Episode 12: Steve Phillip - Using Lived Experience to Champion Suicide Prevention

January 10, 2024 • Green Cross Global • Season 1 • Episode 12

Our resident Tiger Tamers, Ross & Ellice, are joined by the amazing Steve Phillip, Founder of The Jordan Legacy & Keynote Speaker.

Here is an introduction to our brilliant guest...

Steve Phillip was a successful leadership & sales coach and corporate speaker, heading towards semi-retirement, when, in December 2019, he received a call that would change his life forever; his 34 year old son, Jordan, had taken his own life.

Within 12 months of this life-changing experience, Steve established The Jordan Legacy CIC to provide hope to people who are feeling suicidal, by engaging all those who share his ambition to move toward a ‘Zero Suicide Society’.

With a following of more than 56,000 people on LinkedIn, Steve delivers impactful and inspiring talks, like his keynote presentation; ‘The ‘S’ word’, using his own lived experience and insight to help others spot the signs that someone might be struggling with their mental health and how to provide support to those who are feeling suicidal.

Steve delivers talks on the topic of suicide awareness and prevention to corporate organisations, charities, education centres, the Police, the Military and other organisations and community groups throughout the UK and overseas, including policy makers in various UK Government departments.
