Hello, I'm Phil McAuliffe and I'm The Lonely Diplomat.
The Lonely Diplomat is the place for you if you love what you do and you're proud of the contribution you make to your country and its relationship with the world.
While you're proud of what you do, you're tired of the ceaseless competition to get ahead. You're tired of the relentless demands that test your resilience. You've realised that you know many people but no one knows you. You've realised that beyond what you do for your work, you may not even know who you are.
You're in the right place to get the advice, support and encouragement you need to be awesomely and humanly you.
Let's get you reconnected to yourself so you can be a happier human AND an amazing diplomat.
reviews and testimonials

"Phil, aka The Lonely Diplomat, is bravely and expertly communicating some important experiences and truths that often impact those people working away from home yet still being intimately connected to home via their government.
The way he not only can share his own experiences, but guide those in similar shoes to understand themselves better, and ultimately navigate their jobs and lives more effectively, is remarkable.
I also have had the privilege of having Phil support me in my own coaching business - supporting and coaching men to understand themselves better and improve their capability to navigate their challenges with [...] skill, grace, and resilience. He has been a phenomenal addition to my team. HIGHLY recommend working with The Lonely Diplomat!"

Working with Phil ... is an absolute game-changer! Phil’s kind and thoughtful candour allows me to open up and feel safe in addressing internal struggles, while still holding me firmly accountable to my words and actions. An incredibly insightful observer and quite the attentive listener, Phil is always present and fully committed to the work we do together. I highly recommend Phil to those looking to better themselves from the inside out!

"Coaching from Phil helped me gain some perspective on a tough work situation. He seemed to know just the right thing to say or question to ask to help me get into a place where I was able to see solutions for myself.
Phil is very easy to talk to, with an open and relaxed, but professional manner. I'm really pleased I took the opportunity to start coaching with him."
