The work beneath the work.
The real shift in leadership doesn't begin with doing something different.
It begins when something deeper rises to the surface.
Most senior leaders already have the potential.
What gets in their way isn't lack of capability;
it's the interference that blocks
natural leadership excellence.
How I see it
I work in frameworks — but never formulas.
The Leadership Equation
Performance equals Potential minus Interference. When we reduce the stuff that gets in your way, your natural leadership emerges.
Values in Motion
Mapping what truly matters through constellation work. Making visible the tensions and alignments that shape every leadership decision.
Sitting With Tension
Some tensions aren't meant to be solved. They're meant to be understood. Emotional discernment over reaction.
Why practice matters more than perfection
Perfection is a construct. It doesn't exist in reality.
Practice is about reality testing - what's actually here, what's actually happening, what's actually needed.
When we stop chasing something that was never real, we can work with what is.
Leadership happens in the moment. That's where our capacity to respond lives.
The internal pressure that drives excellence... and exhaustion.
The internal conversations that create interference, and the leaders who have found their way through.
The feedback was that I've made an enormous amount of progress and have proven my ability to get repeatedly great results for the company. Thank you for all your help getting me here. It's been a journey.
Technology
Phillip is one of the most talented professionals I have ever met. His ability to swiftly and accurately pinpoint areas for development, combined with complete trustworthiness and acute business insight, makes him invaluable.
Government
I have been surprised at how comfortable it has felt being stretched through this coaching process. The stretch has become an additional approach rather than replacing who I am; expanding my capabilities while preserving my authentic self.
