An experienced strategist, leadership adviser, and facilitator, Philip brings a unique blend of strategic insight, commercial acumen, and operational leadership experience. A former resources-sector executive and qualified lawyer, he offers decades of practical, global experience helping organisations cut through complexity, unlock performance, and deliver meaningful results.
Philip partners with leaders and teams to co-create strategy, build capability, and lead effectively through challenge and change. His facilitation style is dynamic, engaging, and purpose-driven, equally at home in boardrooms, leading team workshops, coaching one-on-one, or on stage at large-scale events.
With a deep understanding of cross-cultural leadership and stakeholder engagement – developed leading multi-disciplinary teams and negotiations across Australia, Asia, Europe, and the Americas – Philip is attuned to the practical realities of delivering results in diverse, fast-moving environments.
Whether preparing for a high-stakes negotiation or building broader team capability, he brings structure, clarity, and strategic focus to every engagement. He has led and advised on multimillion-dollar deals, complex transactions, and sensitive stakeholder dynamics, helping clients navigate complexity, prepare with purpose, and achieve outcomes that last.
Known for bringing people together around a shared goal, Philip creates safe, focused environments where ideas are sharpened, decisions are made, and momentum builds. He is frequently engaged to facilitate strategic offsites, lead executive and team development, support negotiation planning, and moderate conferences and events requiring experienced, high-impact facilitation.
Philip collaborates with organisations large and small, from ASX listed corporates (e.g. CIMIC, National Storage REIT), private-equity owned companies (e.g. Queensland Airports Ltd), technology agencies and startups (e.g. TheCodeCo), government-owned corporations (e.g. Stanwell), local governments (e.g. Brisbane City Council), and NFPs (e.g. CARE Australia), and is trusted to be a catalyst for positive change.

But in today’s workplaces, this hardwiring often works against us. Left unchecked, it narrows thinking, amplifies risk-aversion, and stifles performance, collaboration, and innovation. Understanding Negativity Bias in the Workplace Negativity bias is […]
There’s a persistent myth that negotiation success is about quick thinking, clever tactics, or natural charisma. In reality, the negotiators who consistently achieve great outcomes share one quiet advantage: preparation. Preparation is the real battlefield where negotiations are won or lost.
