Dr Ant Hi, I’m Dr Ant. Let me show you how to go from a life on autopilot to a life that feels just right.

12/12/2025

At PLC Training Academy, we equip leaders and teams with tools that actually work, not just in business, but in life.
Here’s one powerful question we teach in our workshops and mentoring sessions:

👉 “What is actually happening right now?”

Not what might happen.
Not what did happen.
But what IS happening, right now, in this moment?

🌪️ Anxiety thrives in the future.
✅ Clarity lives in the present.

This simple mindset shift can break the spiral, build emotional resilience and bring focus back to what matters a key skill for today’s professionals.

Try it next time you're spiralling.
Did it work?

Perfectionism is killing your business. Not in the way you think.

The Independent is reporting on the hidden cost of perfectionism in high-performing business owners. And it's huge.

Perfectionism isn't about standards. It's about fear. Fear of failure. Fear of not being good enough.

When you're running on that fuel, your team feels it. They become afraid too. Afraid to take risks. Afraid to speak up. Afraid to be real.

That's when productivity dies. Not because standards slip. Because people shut down.

I've built multiple businesses. Hit rock bottom. And I've learned this. The best teams aren't built by perfect leaders. They're built by leaders who are honest about their limits.

Who say I don't know. Who ask for help. Who admit when they're wrong.

That's the foundation of trust.

Switched on Thinking shows you how to shift from fear-driven perfectionism to purpose-driven excellence. It's a completely different game.

Executive stress is the silent epidemic in UK business.

The Times is reporting on the mental health crisis hitting senior leaders. And it's spreading through their teams.

I've been in business 40 years. Stress at the top doesn't stay at the top. It cascades down.

Your team watches how you handle pressure. They mirror it. If you're burning out, they burn out.

But here's the thing. If you're managing your mind and your energy, they'll do the same.

That's leadership.

Switched on Thinking isn't about removing pressure. It's about changing how you respond to it. How you show your team it's possible.

One shift in how you think. Everything changes.

The “Always Busy, Never Productive” Loop

A business owner described his team as constantly busy, yet nothing meaningful was getting done. It was a classic case of spinning their wheels.

We introduced intentional thinking, helping them identify and focus on tasks that truly mattered.
By aligning their actions with their goals, they broke out of the busyness trap. Now, they work smarter, not harder, and their productivity has soared.

If busyness is getting in the way of productivity, let’s chat.

Perfectionism costs businesses £8bn in lost productivity. Here's what that means for you.

I work with business owners who are trapped in perfectionism cycles. They set impossibly high standards, burn themselves out trying to meet them and then wonder why their teams are exhausted.

Here's the truth: perfectionism isn't ambition. It's fear dressed up as high standards.

Fear of failure. Fear of judgment. Fear of not being enough.

When leaders understand that distinction, everything shifts.

Excellence and perfectionism aren't the same. Excellent leaders know when good enough actually is good enough. Perfectionist leaders get stuck.

Are your standards driving you forward or trapping you?

Let's talk about it.

1 in 2 executives report chronic stress. Here's what that means for you.

The Silent Epidemic.

That's what The Times is calling executive stress in 2025. And they're right. I work with business owners and executives who are burning out in silence, feeling like they should just cope and push through.

But here's the truth: understanding your stress is the first step to managing it.

Your brain is responding to pressure exactly as it's designed to. The problem isn't weakness. The problem is not understanding what's happening.

When you understand how your mind works under pressure you can make better decisions. You can lead better. You can live better.

You don't have to suffer in silence.

Let's talk about what's really going on.

Record stress levels across UK workforce in 2025. Here's what that means for your business.

Your team's stress is your business's stress.

I read The Guardian's piece on record stress levels this morning and it's sobering. But here's what I know from 40 years in business: stressed teams don't perform. Stressed leaders make poor decisions. Stressed business owners lose sleep.

The good news? Stress isn't random. It's your brain doing its job. Protecting you from perceived threat. When leaders understand how that works, they can actually do something about it.

Your team needs you at your best. Your best comes from understanding how your brain works under pressure.

What's one stress point in your business you've been avoiding?

Let's chat about it.

🧠 Negative thought loops literally shrink your profit margins.

If you’re planning to make 2026 your year, then this weekend could be the perfect time to pause and ask:
What’s really holding me back?

When your mind defaults to “What if it goes wrong?”:
🔸 You underprice your value
🔸 You play it safe and miss big opportunities
🔸 You hire reactively, not strategically
🔸 You lead from fear, not vision

These thought patterns don’t just affect your confidence, they impact your bottom line.

The PLC Training & Mentorship Academy exists to help business leaders like you rewire limiting beliefs, build powerful decision-making habits, and drive serious growth.

Make space this weekend to think differently about your business.
Because changing your thinking changes your results.
