What I do
I am driven by a love of Classical Philosophy, the belief that it has methods of answering questions modernity has forgotten, and the the desire to share those methods with you. Modern problems don’t need modern solutions, they need timeless ones.
Driving Philosophy exists to teach you how to think, not what to think. I’m here to help you answer your business's biggest questions with a philosophy rooted at the foundation of the human experience.
​
Working with Senior Management, major investors, and corporate decision makers, I use Classical Philosophy to help people and businesses understand why they do what they do, and then to do it better.
​
I help you think deeper and differently about your business by instructing and applying the teachings of Aristotle.
​
Before brand strategy - before settling on that big marketing firm - before focus groups and advertising campaigns - make sure you understand who you are, what you are, what you stand for, and what you want to convey to the world.
​​
I am not reinventing the wheel. This isn't a new strategy or method. This is the original strategy and method. I am simply sharing the best of Classical Philosophy in ways that speak to your business today.
About
Your Session
Every training is bespoke and tailored to your needs and your business.
Training session can range in length, detail, and scope to suit your requirements.
I'm not here to tell you how to do your job. I provide a tried and timeless way of looking at what you already are doing - the practices, products and services you already have - and working with your team to provide a framework and lexicon so that together we can determine where and why some things are working and where others can be improved.
​
All our training sessions are energetic, entertaining, and engaging.
Your Instructor
Dr. Spencer Bentley, Ph.D
Spencer's academic research applied modern sociology to ancient belief systems. Now he brings ancient philosophical frameworks and wisdom to modern businesses.
​
With over a decade of teaching Philosophy and Theology in University and Schools, and a real belief in the value of equipping those around him to think critically, deeply, and independently, there is little Spencer enjoys more than working through a tough concept with cogency and clarity.
​
There is a reason Aristotle's Philosophy set the stage for Western science, politics, ethics and religion, and Spencer would love to share with you why it is as relevant and applicable today as it has ever been.
"Dr. Spencer Bentley’s workshop was a masterclass in brand interrogation - one of the most insightful I’ve attended. I found the session was dynamic, engaging, and perfectly paced, seamlessly blending entertainment with deep reflection. It sparked fresh, actionable insights that have stayed with me and continue to shape the thinking of my team and my colleagues.
His approach provided valuable tools for our business leaders to use which will refine their understanding of our core company values. Beyond this, it offered profound strategic perspectives, shaping broader communication and organisational direction.
Exceptional!"
