Phil is a high-performance coach working internationally. He gets entrepreneurs building exceptional companies. Only exceptional people can build something exceptional. He helps people develop a peak performance mindset, build strengths, manage their emotions, choose effective behaviours and create great teams.
Phil brings a deep understanding of human behaviour from his clinical experience and 20 years of executive coaching. Most people he works with are self-selecting – their relentless hunger for both business and personal growth needs channelling.
Since leaving the NHS 18 years ago as a Board Director he has worked with scaling entrepreneurs in the UK, US and internationally. He has a small portfolio of NED and adviser roles with high-growth businesses, has been a Chairman, and has also mentored award-winning companies including Needledock, Sharpen and UJJI. As an angel he has helped many companies raise money from angels, VCs and grants, and has turned that experience into a book called AngelThink (on Amazon). Teamed with the right founder(s) he is confident he will support a unicorn in the next five years.
