Coaching
Do you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or off track? Are you self-limiting, treading water, or simply know that you're not living your best life?
Through leadership coaching, Phil's healthy and balanced approach can help you to seek clarity, feel empowered, and discern the best way forward in your situation. Leadership Coaching can help you to courageously move ahead to fully live out God's calling, as Phil encourages, challenges and holds you accountable to that which you know you ought to do.
The concept of coaching is a highly empowering form of leadership development as there is a shift from a “telling” paradigm (providing answers, advice, knowledge and solutions), to a “coaching” paradigm (providing questions, curiosity, discovery, empathy and attention)*. Rather than a "drinking" buddy, you could think of a coach as a "thinking" buddy.

The role of a coach can be broken into three essential elements - to help the participant:
1) Discover
Coaching is such a powerful tool of mentoring in that the participant gains revelations from God directly. The underlying assumption is that God is already at work in the participant’s life and the coach’s role is simply to lead them on a discovery-based journey
2) Clarify
Once the participant discovers what God might be up to amidst their current challenges and in light of their future hopes and dreams, the coach facilitates a process of gaining clarity. The participant requires clarity in terms of their current reality (circumstances, trials, the present) as well as the direction that the Holy Spirit is wanting to take them (opportunities, future-oriented).
3) Align with the Holy Spirit’s guidance.
With a gap now established between where they currently are and where the Holy Spirit wants to take them, the third essential element is for the coach to help the participant align themselves through actionable steps of obedience.
Phil offers leadership coaching in 2 formats:
1-on-1 Coaching and Group Coaching
Both formats are conducted either in person, via phone or over Skype video conferencing.

Coaching Testimonials
"Leadership is an essential toolkit for every minister. I found Phil to be my ‘Jethro' coming and telling me as he did to Moses the balances of leadership in ministry. I can emphatically testify that Phil as a ‘leadership coach’ is contemporary, relevant and empowering to every 21st century leader. His insight, temperament and understanding is imparted through a genuine relationship between the coach and the trainee. A sincere, authentic and beneficial relationship is Phil’s gift to you as he becomes your coach and more importantly, friend in the Lord. He presents not just as a highly qualified coach but as one who is called to be a leadership coach for today’s world. His integrity, presentation and candour causes you to only want to imbue, process and apply what is learned in a session and to then look forward to your next time with Phil. I would without reservation recommend Phil as a ‘leadership coach’ to anyone seeking to be more than who they are today by benefiting from Phil’s gift." - Ps John Harker: Senior Pastor, Coal City Christian Church.
"I am half way through my 6-month coaching package with Phil and when I think about it now, I realise I am no longer stressed about my business. I feel that due to having Phil for support I am able to make the right decisions on how to move forward with my business and don't feel the anxiety I previously felt when making decisions by myself or with 'friends' advice. I had stopped doing the things I love due to the business taking over my time for the first 2 years but now I am back surfing and getting away camping most weekends. I feel my business is on track to fuel my passion for surfing and educating the public in a healthier lifestyle without pharmaceutical medications. Thanks Phil!" - Lucy Johnston: Accredited Exercise Physiologist & CEO, Pro Health Studio.
"Three principles can significantly improve both business and personal growth - awareness, action and accountability. With Phil, not only do you get all three, you get an experienced coach who understands human behaviour, how to bring the best out in people and what to do long term to maintain it. Thanks again Phil! - Geoff Loomes: CEO, Renewed Health.
"As a participant in Phil's group coaching I felt like I had my own professional growth journey support crew. Each session provided an invaluable pit-stop checkpoint to assess the progress pedometer, kneed out any niggling professional growing pains by taking a refreshing dip in the collective pool of experience and inspiration of the group and checkout feeling fully recharged and ready to let rip!" - Susie Davis, Dietician & Accredited Exercise Physiologist.
“My simple words of advice to anyone considering using Phil's services is that if you need help converting your vision into reality, then Phil is the right guy! His professional skills are only surpassed by his integrity and honesty. This I greatly respect.” - Simon Turnbull: Managing Director, Enriched Health.
