Phil is a globally recognised expert on purpose-driven strategies.
He knows first-hand the pressures of managing high-performance teams from his former company roles, and how easily we can overlook what really matters in terms of work, life and leadership.
With individuals and organisations currently suffering from change-fatigue and rising levels of anxiety about the future, Phil specialises in building resilience without trading off the energy and excitement that comes with high-performance and growth.
He has long championed the concept of business and society (as opposed to business or society), and from his work in this area he was invited by Harvard Business School’s Professor Michael Porter and Mark Kramer to Boston to help form a global network of experts in the business purpose field. He subsequently authored the book, Connecting Profit With Purpose and has recently been quoted in the special AFR report on purpose in business.
Phil is a keynote speaker, accredited master facilitator and adviser who’s worked with organisations like BlueScope, CommBank, Challenger, IAG, JLL, NRMA, QBE and Westpac along with numerous not-for-profits, associations, peak bodies and government agencies – illustrating his breadth of industry experience.
Clients and audiences value his ability to deliver advanced concepts in easy-to-understand ways, injecting inspiration, motivation and humour in the process.
He hosts two shows: The Business Purpose Trends Podcast provides 5-10minute weekly updates, while his longer form show, The Purpose Edge, explores aspects of resilience and growth in the work and lives of interesting guests.
When time allows, he’s watching Nordic Noir tv series or running the local trails in Bulli, near Sydney, Australia.
