About Phil

I provide high-performance coaching driven by “been there” experience, a holistic philosophy, and a direct, high‑accountability style built on these core strengths:

  • Real-World Experience: I offer practical, battle-tested strategies rather than theoretical advice.  I draw on my background rising through the corporate ranks at Xerox (regional manager by age 23) and Freightways, and scaling Blue Star from $4 million to $500 million in just five years, along with more recent involvement with Deloitte Fast 50 trail blazers.  From a sporting perspective, my coaching focuses on performance and winning in high-pressure environments, and the challenge of outperforming personal best as well as opponents. 

  • Holistic "Continuum" Philosophy: I believe your personal and professional/sporting lives are inseparable. My coaching addresses the physical, intellectual, emotional and spiritual aspects of your life along with social/cultural, family/home and finance/career.

  • Candid and Rigorous Style: I am uncompromising and direct. I will not let you off the hook; I often tell you what you already know but haven't acted upon, holding you strictly accountable to your own goals.  I’ll also tell you what you need to hear, but others are too scared to tell you!

  • Analytical and Intuitive Ability: I will cut through complexity and quickly identify the "heart" of the real ailments affecting both your professional and personal performance.

  • Sporting Background: As a competitive sportsperson in skydiving, running and surf lifesaving, I apply the principles of elite athletic performance to help individuals and teams excel, with a focus on crucial life skills like discipline, resilience, teamwork, and handling both success and setbacks. It's about pushing personal limits and achieving excellence within structured rules and environments.

  • Versatility Across Sectors: I deliver strategic coaching across diverse industries, including primary sectors, manufacturing, construction, finance, professional services and sports.
