Active Leadership exists to help leaders unlock their true potential. In the world of today, real leadership is tough and most of us need help to navigate the complexity, sometimes when we don't even realise it. Active Leadership seeks to fuel, grow and equip leaders to be their most effective self, amidst the challenges of executive life.

"If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader."

—John Quincy Adams

I cannot give you the formula for success, but I can give you the formula for failure, which is: Try to please everybody.


I found Phil to be really insightful about the people he was coaching or guiding, using the whole of the person’s life and experience to form a picture of them. I sometimes found his approach quite challenging, but it was done with a view to encouraging people to step outside of their comfort zone and achieve their full potential.

I highly recommend Phil for any leadership support you may be considering. I was fortunate enough to attend the AIPM during Phil’s time there as a Director & his knowledge & experience in leadership certainly impacted on me & my own leadership. If you are looking for a leadership consultant or someone to work with you and/or your leadership team do yourself a favour and check what Phil can offer.
