“Phillip delivered a very powerful talk to the Arthur Cox partners on coaching and mentoring. He did so expertly, relating clearly to the audience, explaining eloquently and simply his message and being open and honest in his approach. After the event, several people mentioned the clarity of understanding they had received from hearing him speak. The unusual combinations of Phillip’s sporting career, leadership ability and academic management, and of course his charismatic and engaging personality, are invaluable. He has the ability to convert and also inspire the sceptical.” – Ruth Dalton, HR Director
