Phil
has a passionate belief that learning and development should be enjoyable and
stimulating experiences for people, and he strives to bring creativity and a
practical focus to all his work with clients.
As
a Client Director, he’s responsible for developing business and managing
relationships with many of Maynard Leigh’s key clients including Deutsche
Telekom, Roland Berger, and Cancer
Research UK. He has worked with these and
other clients over several years, and always looks to build long term
partnerships.
He
is tenacious when it comes to fully understanding a client’s challenges, issues
and culture so he can ensure that the solutions he offers are wholly relevant,
as well as exciting and stretching for the people involved.
As a Performance Coach, whether working with
groups or coaching individuals, he’s committed to helping each person be the
best version of themselves they can be in their work, and having the impact
they genuinely want on the people they lead, report to, or work with.
Before
working in the corporate sector Phil was a director and actor in theatre. What he learned as a director - about setting
an inspiring vision and drawing the best contribution and performance from a
team of individuals with diverse skills, experience and styles (while under
tight time pressure and budget constraints) - informs his work with leaders and
managers today.
Much of that work focuses on how individuals
can inspire, lead and develop their teams, how they coach and motivate others, particularly in uncertain or difficult circumstances, and how they can lead people
through cultural or organisational change.
