Jeff Hayward, Business Consultant (February 1, 2010)

I have had the pleasure of working with Phil as a business coach for several years. Phil's MBL program and his unique approach to achieving superior results goes far beyond the normal parameters and limitations of traditional leadership coaching. Phil enlightens and ignites one's sense of what it means to empower, inspire and energize yourself and those around you. He effectively bundles up powerful insights and highly effective leadership tools that unlock a deeper layer of consciousness around the dynamics of people, teams and success. Phil Johnson is truly a gifted individual who has a very clear sense of his life mission and service to others, and he brings this unwavering focus to his coaching and life relationships in a profoundly powerful way.

Joanne Moretti, CRO Fictiv, Board Member Sangoma (June 5, 2009)

Phil's leadership coaching has made a huge difference in not only my career but also in my life. I highly recommend his coaching. It is literally eye-opening because while you might think its all about managing/coaching/leading others, the core lessons are about YOU. And seriously, YOU DON'T NEED A TITLE to be a leader, its within all of us. Phil explains how to find leadership within ourselves so we can inspire others to do the same. Spend some time with him, it will be the best investment you ever make!

Mohsin AL Mohsin, CEO Healthcare (March 8, 2021)

The Master of Business Leadership executive program has enabled me to become a more authentic, emotionally intelligent leader. Phil’s coaching expertise and support is invaluable in helping me to achieve both personal and organizational success. The results I am experiencing are simply amazing.

Heather Molleur, Managing Director IP Team, Micron Technology (October 22, 2014)

I started working with Phil at the recommendation of a friend in whom I had seen a remarkable positive change. Similar to my friend, I was looking for a new attitude towards work and life. I decided to trust in Phil's Master's of Business Learning course and after three months have seen remarkable positive results of my own. I go to work excited and feel passionate about what I am doing and I am overall happier in life. I cannot recommend Phil more highly, take the leap of faith and do the work - it is well worth the time.

Alessandro Fasan, MSEE, MBA, MBL (August 22, 2013)

Our current habits deliver our current results. If we want better results we need to add new habits to our portfolio. Then, to be really free to choose among these habits, we need a higher level of self-awareness. I started observing how one of the qualities/strengths that propelled me in a new career path started becoming a hindrance. Regardless how much effort I put, I saw myself stuck in a pattern - sounds familiar? With Phil's help we were able to address this during the first few sessions. Now there is no going back, the increased awareness gives more freedom to choose between how my "old self" and the "emotionally intelligence augmented me" would behave. I am thankful to Phil for finding the time to accompany me during this phase of my journey, and to be my coach.

Rebecca Mih, PhD Apple Technical Program Management (May 8, 2014)

If you are looking for someone to help you put your authentic and emotional leadership into high gear, Phil is the one! I have been through several company-sponsored leadership training courses and coaches, while all were interesting and to some degree helpful, they tend to generically focus on the "what", and "what to do" ( e.g. Don't run with scissors and don't push other people's hot buttons). Really missing is the "whys" of working relationships and how it applies very specifically to unique individuals (You and me!). Enter Phil. Phil's coaching has helped me obtain superior results in a very short amount of time (~ 2 weeks)--not only a new job with enhanced role and comp -- but a methodology to move forward and grow my capabilities for both my customers and my company. I was able to reconnect with some of my core values that I lost along the way in the corporate jungle ( and I understand better why I lost them ). Rapidly Phil gives you a framework to understand who and why you are today, and the environmental forces at work. Very quickly he provides a straight-forward and actionable system to recognize and become self-aware, and then incorporate behaviors and habits leading to outstanding outcomes. His guidance has been invaluable to me both with work as well as family concerns. He is helping me to embark on a transition plan leading to significant increased satisfaction as well as financial reward. It's the best coaching money I've ever spent.

Sundar Mudupalli, Consultant At Google Cloud (December 8, 2021)

I have been working with Phil for more than a few years and the results have been amazing. Working the MBL program has enabled me to find myself, develop more agency and go after what gives me joy. Try the MBL program because you are worth it.

Andrew Wright, Film Producer Liquid Stairs Inc. (July 30, 2014)

Phil is that person you wish you'd met 10 year earlier. His approach to coaching is, in my experience, unique. In the short time I've been meeting with him, I've seen nothing but improved results. His approach requires hard work, and is no magic bullet. You get out what you put in. He doesn't pretend to be a guru with magic solutions to all your problems, which is refreshing. I very highly recommend him.

Sherry Adams, Commissioner City of Richmond Hill (August 25, 2010)

I was fortunate to have met Phil and to have him work with me and a number of my colleagues while at Harris Corporation. Phil has an excellent understanding of the traits and characteristics that makes a good leader and which leads to business success. Phil has the ability to make you challenge yourself and to be the best you can be. He has a thorough understanding of Emotional Intelligence and why it is so important in helping leaders be successful which ultimately leads to the success of organizations. I was fortunate to have met Phil and to have him work with me and a number of my colleagues while at Harris Corporation.

Melody Davey, Project Manager UC Health (July 13, 2022)

I've been working with Executive Coach Phil Johnson for 2 months. Phil is an expert in developing emotional intelligence. Unlike IQ, EQ can be strengthened. It is developed through skillful coaching, awareness and developing new habits. Phil is masterful at guiding clients through the process of evolving into emotionally intelligent leaders. Emotional intelligence cannot be improved by reading a book, it is developed through direct experience, awareness and training. I am honored and grateful for the opportunity to work with Phil Johnson and his Master of Business Leadership program. My only regret is not having found him 10 years ago.

Brian Bakstran, Senior Marketing Executive & Podcast Host (December 27, 2009)

As a marketing leader managing an organization of 120+ employees, with a direct staff of 12, the complexity and dynamics involved to ensure the entire organization is aligned and energized to achieve the longer term vision is extremely difficult on your best days. It is clear, neither I, nor the key members of my staff, would have obtained the overwhelming success we achieved had it not been for Phil's leadership coaching and support. Our organization laid out clear lofty goals and objectives designed to accelerate the pipeline and achieve the company’s business goals. We over-achieved on all of them. The Master of Business Leadership’s objective, focused, systematic approach to leadership development has proven to consistently deliver measurably better results quickly and was a key ingredient in our success. I would highly recommend the MBL process to any executive or management team that has an urgent need for better results.

Chris Ugolini, VP Executive Recruitment (July 6, 2020)

I highly recommend Phil and the MBL program. This program has provided me with the awareness of how emotional intelligence impacts our lives. Learning the MBL habits, I feel that I have the skills to develop and maintain authentic relationships both at work and at home. My ability to make much better strategic decisions, being responsibility for my actions, and minimizing my micro managing have greatly improved my performance. My employees have benefited as well, as they are taking on more responsibilities, making more business decisions and as a unit we are working much better together. Thanks Phil!!

Arvind Ravishunkar, Innovation & Incubation Leader (January 22, 2018)

Phil has a unique program that helps you look at leadership from a whole new perspective! His refreshing take on leadership avoids all cookie cutter methods and rather begins with you at the center. His program brings out your most authentic self and then translates it into your unique leadership values. I enjoyed my sessions with him and recommend his program.

Real Zahra Karami, SMTS Engineer (January 29, 2017)Person

Master of Business Leadership program with Phil has been very helpful to me, not only at work for my business interactions with my customers, colleagues and my management but also in improving everyday life. The concepts are simple and applicable to just about any situation. I consider taking this program one of the best decisions I have ever made for self-improvement and I highly recommend to just any individual.

Dale Olson, Director Lam Research (October 20, 2016)

The MBL program has provided me with the awareness of how emotional intelligence impacts our lives, and with the skills to develop and maintain authentic relationships at home and at work.

Ram Saridena, SAP Lead Hitachi High Technology (August 10, 2016)

Emotional intelligence is a subject I never experienced in any school or university. MBL habits are of great help to me in proving my emotional intelligence. Phil made me to focus on such powerful area which truly improving my skillset in dealing with any situation in a much easier and more efficient  manner than I could think of. My interaction with Phil and his lessons, habits continues to make me strong in dealing with situations in professional and personal life. His teachings with examples make me understand not only myself but others in a better way. I am thankful to Phil for helping me focusing on emotional intelligence and improving in myself in this area and influencing people surrounding me.

Mahmud Iqbal Baig, Consultant Management Services Int’l (June 17, 2016)

I remember having seen Phil Johnson's impressive achievements before but was unable to write to him. It just so happens that I am planning to restart our management courses held six years ago for newly promoted VPs of banks and executives of national and international organizations. I would be pleased to enter into joint collaboration with Phil Johnson on such courses.

Doug Leitch, Business Energizer, x IBM (December 2, 2015)

2015 became a year of unprecedented personal growth, reflected in both business success and strengthened personal relationships. The Master of Business Leadership's ground-up approach to leadership has provided me new insight, understanding, and perspective. Became a Master of Business Leadership in 2016!

Anthony Gatti, PhD Founder NeuralSeg Ltd. (August 14, 2015)

I've met with Phil for a year and through this process have learned things about myself, others, and my interactions with others that I would have other-wise been completely oblivious to. As a coach Phil has helped me build the skills necessary me to build stronger relationships with everyone around me. Including, friends, family, and co-workers. The MBL program has also guided me to truly appreciate and to start taking advantage of my Passion! The building of relationships and focusing on my passion has allowed me to excel at work and in my personal life since commencing with the MBL program.

Alex Bayati, CTO Business eXcellence (June 2, 2015)

The Master of Business Leadership system has enabled my company to win several multi-million dollar contracts in a very short period of time by out caring the competition. Our rapid growth is the result of the emotionally intelligent leadership we are developing. We are becoming trusted advisors to our clients. The MBL system simply works. I highly recommend it for individuals and organizations that have an urgent desire for better results.

Muthanna Hashem, Manager Qasswa Transportation (March 2, 2015)

Dr. Phil’s course has been very beneficial to me in various ways. It improved my good habits, and changed the way I deal with people and myself in general. This program made me more accepting of people and more accepted as a leader in my field.
One of the most appreciated lessons for me was that people will always have negative barriers, and those barriers can be torn down when I remove mine, resulting in bridging gaps more efficiently and in a friendly manner. I was able to get rid of many fears that that were holding me back, which are based on old experiences. By doing so, great doors of opportunities opened up for me, increasing my productivity and achievements.
A small measure of personal affirmation was when my family and friends told me that within the last year I have become less intense, more relaxed, and more positive than I used to be, as I have become more pleasant to be with. This resulted in my realization that Dr. Phil’s methodology is not just a “Leader Self Improvement” course, but rather a Life Improvement “system” that begins with your fundamentals, concentrate on “Habits” building the necessary improvements that lasts a lifetime and spread to others around me. In short, “Master of Business Leadership teaching and coaching system” was the push I needed [and will continuously need] into trying new things and embracing life and enjoying it like never before, and prepared me to welcome my future without fear.

Harvey Deutschendorf, Emotional Intelligence Expert (January 14, 2015)

The MBL proven has been very effective at transforming leaders who are stuck and are committed to reaching the next level. It has a long, proven track record of helping leaders bridge the gap between their heads and hearts. With the increased speed of change it is crucial training that is truly transformational.

In my first couple of coaching sessions with Phil I began to see what the MBL system could do to help me understand what it takes to become an authentic leader and to create a truly successful organization. Phil’s methods allow you to see immediate results at a personal and professional level through applying authentic communications. I highly recommend Phil if you want to improve outcomes of any business or personal endeavors and be able to better deal with complex issues.

Michael Weisnagel, Entrepreneur (September 6, 2014)

I am so grateful to have met Phil and benefit from his MBL coaching.

Nothing is more important. Phil helped me understand how it's all connected and how by doing the emotional work necessary to change and helped me become more. Thanks Phil.

Ronald J. Chandler RN (July 24, 2014)

Phil has been a great help in motivation and in my expansion of emotional intelligence. His insight of situations and guidance in critical thinking has helped me to move forward in my personal and professional life. The skill sets that I am acquiring via Phil, I am able to transfer to my clients. I would highly recommend Phil for his knowledge, experience, compassion and commitment to excellence as a servant leader, in developing authentic sustainable leadership through the development of emotional intelligence.

Sheela Szymkowiak, Maternity Reflexologist (November 30, 2013)

Phil Johnson's approach to coaching the individual in career/life strategies is both creative and inspiring. With Phil's expert assistance I am now moving closer to my career visions and goals with a renewed sense of passion and clarity.

Ali Mastoor MBA, PMP, Trainer (August 13, 2013)

Phil is a great man with positive culture... he has simply common & great values world wide people don't pay attention to. That is why Phil is spreading the Authenticity & Emotional Intelligence culture world wide. He is really influencer and inspirational speaker. I highly recommend anyone want personal, social, or organizational change to communicate Phil,,,, he will be impressed by him...

Scott Neville, VP Sales Harvest Right (December 21, 2012)

Phil has been an outstanding mentor and guide in helping me achieve better results with less effort and more fun. I am a far better employee, director, and person because of Phil's coaching and applying what I have learned. This system will work for anyone who has the guts to put it into practice. I enthusiastically recommend Phil for any person or business who wants better results. In short, the MBL system has been life changing for me.

Ramana Vitthal Popuri, SAP Team Manager Hitachi High-Tech America (June 27, 2012)

Phil has tailored the MBL program to suit my needs in a step towards my journey towards leadership. It is as if he has distilled wisdom thru ages and presented in a practical form that is relevant today's chaotic world. His program and coaching goes deep into roots of human psychology. Glad I has good fortunes to take his guidance.

Eyad Mashat, Founder & CEO Fad International (June 10, 2012)

Actually I am taking this course MBL been 3 month already and my life basically changed 180 digress to the better. It's so impressive that improved my business and my day to day life and made an authentic leader. Thank you Phil

Kyoko Roberts, Director Business Development Hitachi High-Tech America (February 21, 2012)

I just recently completed Master of Business Leadership trainings with Phil. My 6 months journey with Phil taught me the importance of emotional intelligence. I have taken a few leadership trainings, but Phil's training really helped me to discover "true me" and how I can inspire others as a leader, coworker, friend and mother. Thank you, Phil!!

Julie Repp, Director Hitachi High-Tech America (June 28, 2011)

Want change now? Want better results now? Start immediately, gets instant results. That is the MBL System. Leaders are the calm in the eye of the storm, we make things happen, we focus on things that are not urgent, but very important and chaos is automatically reduced. The solution doesn't lie in working harder, this drains our energy, we become less focused and we fall into victim patterns. This burn out mode will continue and will become bigger until we die, unless we accept change and force ourselves to get out of that mold. We are all in control of our own results, no one else. Take back your life, no one can take it away unless you let them. The MBL system gave me the tools I needed to face my fears, and not let fear control me. The ultimate solution is MBL. It has forever changed my professional and personal life. Thanks to MBL and my wonderful coach, Phil. My work situation hasn't changed, just my outlook, awareness, habits, and perceptions. Feel the fear and let it motivate you to take actions. True leaders don't let fear get in their way. I am a true servant. How can I help you?

Pat Meggs, Accounting Manager Hitachi High-Tech America (June 22, 2011)

Five months ago, I started my journey to true leadership authenticity under the coaching leadership of Phi Johnson, founder of the MBL System. I quickly discovered that my old habits, attitudes, beliefs and perceptions had made me a victim most of my life and had created a wall between myself and others. It was only by developing new habits to replace old ones, was I able to understand that Leadership is truly about serving and inspiring others. I have found Phil to be a very inspirational and passionate individual when it comes to his profession, which is - coaching others on authentic leadership to produce better results with less effort and more fun. The knowledge I have gained under the leadership of Phil in both my professional and personal life is a one in a life time opportunity and is "PRICELESS". I highly recommend Phil to anyone who wants to experience leadership at its best!!!!!

Savior Joseph, Past Chair & Director Tribe Network (May 10, 2011)

Phil has helped me navigate the complex world of leadership. His insights and direction have allowed me to greatly improve my leadership skills and move toward becoming someone who inspires others to do great things. Phil's philosophy is not new. Being an authentic leader is about being in the service of people. However, the way in which he helps drive behavior change is new and powerful. We can all talk it, but we need to train ourselves to walk it. Phil understands this deeply and is able to help people like me be the change we want to see. Phil's been a great resource for me and I look forward to continuing to work with him. I want great results, and Phil is helping me get those results through an eye opening, engaging and fun process.

Kevin Sato, Creative Director, Zulu Alpha Kilo Inc. (April 28, 2011)

As a young professional entering into a highly competitive industry, Phil helped me to hone my leadership skills and to take my career into my own hands. His guidance and support allowed me to overcome self imposed hurtles and obstacles routed in my subconscious, which influenced my conscious actions. With his help, my thoughts and actions have become increasingly aligned, allowing me to communicate authentically with my colleagues and clients, furthering my reputation as a trusted advisor.

Ross Simmonds, CEO Foundation & Distribution AI

If you are truly looking to be challenged by someone who really cares about you as a whole and not just you an individual who can work the typical 9-5, then go with Phil. Working with Phil will ignite a fire of passion in you to not only succeed in your current work, but also pursue your dreams for both personal and professional growth.

Nimesh Patel, Unlock Human Potential (March 1, 2011)

Phil has a clear understanding of how to support a business leader to grow. He is passionate about his business and never fails to provide his deep insight into the right business principles. I have no hesitation in recommending Phil to any business leader who really wants to grow personally and professionally.

Peter Galik, Ing, MBA, MBL (January 12, 2011)

Everything what I have experienced in my life leads to authentic leadership. Phil provides me with invaluable insights on this journey of a lifetime. Personally and professionally I am focused on the interpersonal dynamics and organizational effectiveness using the synthesis of design and conventional business thinking to tackle complex issues in today’s fast paced and turbulent knowledge economy. Phil’s insights have helped me to take even more responsible personal approach to experiential learning. Through our ongoing discussions, I am developing greater awareness when it comes to my directional knowledge. I am able to better distinguish what is important and to use this sensibility to identify critical relationships on my never-ending journey towards superior performance in work and life.

Debbie Bray, Retired Director Human Resources (November 11, 2010)

I highly recommend the Master of Business Leadership System. Phil Johnson, Founder of this system has provided me with the tools and insights necessary to help me work towards becoming the Authentic Leader. I highly recommend the Master of Business Leadership System.

Lancy Dsouza, IT Director Technical Services Hitachi High-Tech America (August 25, 2010)

Who in the world would not like to have better results with less efforts and more fun? These are the results you'll get from Phil’s MBL program. To attain this one needs to overcome their habits, fears and perceptions and follow Phil’s journey on authentic leadership. The focus is on actions and results The MBL system tools and insights and one on one coaching system has worked for me and produced good results both professionally and personally.

Jackie Hudson, Retired Sr. HR Advisor (February 4, 2010)

Phil has very personable manner about him that speaks to his sincerity, authenticity and ability to really see the heart of the matter and the person. Having had the opportunity to work with him when he was the Director, Semiconductor Division at Mitsubishi and again, connecting with him for his coaching expertise while in my executive position at Henry Schein, I was struck by his insight and 'walk the talk' natural state of being. He has a phenomenal ability to gain your utmost attention and honesty - he is a 'real human being' in all his interactions, quite automatically encouraging you to be 'authentic' and adapt a leadership ability that is effective. Phil is type of coach every manager - middle level to executive - needs to connect with and learn from. Organizations will greatly benefit by adopting Phil's approach to managing people and forming strong leadership that CAN be followed, and returns effective and successful results.

Pino Biase, AVP Channel Partner at Sage (January 28, 2010)

I can't say enough about the time I spent with Phil and the impact it had not only on my professional life, but my personal life as well. I thought I was going to work with Phil to become a better Manager but I immediately realized that it wasn't about management at all, it was truly about developing my Authentic Leadership. Phil's program can add real value to anyone who wants to make a difference to their organization or their lives, even if they don't know it yet. I would encourage anyone to work with Phil and his MBL Coaching Program!

Michael Alford, Founder of Aquiot Inc. (January 27, 2010)

Phil has practical insights into how to get better results. He helps you to see yourself the way other people see you. He helps develop important skills that are sadly overlooked and lacking in much of the industry.

Robert Kirkby, CEO Energy Advantage (January 16, 2010)

Phil is an inspirational guy who knows what he is talking about and walks his talk.

Ken Gans, Director IT Strategic Planning, Hitachi High-Tech America (January 7, 2010)

MBL philosophy: better results, less effort, more fun. Sounds great but does it work? Absolutely! I would definitely recommend Phil & MBL University to anyone who wants to release the true leader that lies within them. Phil’s coaching sessions on the MBL authentic leadership habits & insights were one of the most rewarding “training” I’ve experienced. Phil has the ability to put things into perspective in a simple way to move you in a positive direction. Actions & Results. That’s all it is. Phil also coached other members of the strategic planning team resulting in improved department achievements as well as creating a more positive team dynamics. In a nutshell, I’ve been on a journey of business & life improvement for some time without achieving my desired results. Phil has been able to connect the dots for me in a way no one else has. For this reason I am grateful for meeting Phil and participating in the MBL University program and look forward to continuing my journey with the addition of the MBL authentic leadership habits & insights.

Richard Harrison, Salesforce Strategic Accounts (January 1, 2010)

The ability to effectively lead and manage continues to be a top professional and company challenge in today’s complex business world. Individual desires and what motivates or energizes people can get lost in the politics, organizational changes and increasing expectations on performance. It is easy to lose sight of what is the right path of action to be an effective and respected leader, especially one you can feel good about personally. I believe Phil’s MBL process is an excellent approach because it combines common sense with a disciplined action plan to produce results.

Timothy Beditz, Retired (November 23, 2009)

I had the pleasure to work with Phil as a Coach over the Summer/Fall of 2009 and the time we spent together was fantastic. In fact two words I use to describe working with Phil to other colleagues as it relates to his coaching are Insightful and Actionable. Insightful due to the fact that whatever your frame of reference is for coaching Phil will make you think twice and broaden your understanding. Actionable due to the fact Phil helps you do the hardest thing as a by-product of any professional coaching and that is to take action. Additionally Phil is a great guy and no subject is off limits!

Brad McMillan, Regional Sales Manager Harvest ETFs (November 16, 2009)

I had the opportunity to work through 10 coaching sessions with Phil in 2008. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and gained some valuable insight and ideas from Phil that allowed me to improve my leadership skills. Phil's ideas were practical with immediate action steps. To date, I have found Phil's leadership coaching the best that I have experienced and would definitely recommend Phil to anyone that wants to become a better leader.

Derick Wong, Aboriginal Business Network (October 26, 2009)

Phil's ideas and philosophy is excellent. Once you embrace his point of view and open your mind and actions to his views, you gain a greater insight into how you can make others better as well as improving yourself as an expressive leader. I would highly recommend Phil's program to anyone who would like to succeed in life.

Brad Bettinson, EVP Innovations & Solutions, JAM CRM (September 17, 2009)

E3 Consulting’s Chief Leadership Officer is Phil Johnson. Typically when I talk about Phil and the amazing work he has done for me and my company I get the ‘yah right - no one is that good’ look. So I’ll try to provide a testimonial that is free from all exciting adverbs and descriptors that apply like ‘amazing’, ‘life changing’, ‘transformative’, and ‘success defined. I’ll try to stick to the facts so you can draw those conclusions yourself. Phil has been my business coach for over two years. When I met Phil I was doing well, but I had a long way to go. The funny part is that I wasn’t aware of this. I knew I could improve (can’t we all?), but I had blinders on that were stopping me from really hitting my stride. I was semi-happily working at an ad agency and I had all sorts of good excuses for not breaking out on my own to live my dream of starting my own company. As I worked with Phil the fog around what I wanted out of life, and how I should go about getting it began to lift. The truth of what I needed to do became so obvious it was unavoidable to do anything but move towards it. Fast forward two years to today. My company, E3 Consulting, (that I got off the ground in a large part to Phil’s guidance) now has 12 employees and is going to break the $1 million dollar revenue mark. Phil is now CLO for our entire company, helping us to find the truth about ourselves as an organization and how we can achieve amazing (ok I let one adverb slip!) results – all by just being themselves. Phil is an authentic leader who really ‘gets it’ and wants to help the world do the same. His Master of Business Leadership system can really help you ‘get it’ as well. I’ve achieved outstanding results by incorporating this system into my personal and business life. I think you can do the same, so I highly suggest calling him. I truly believe he can help you get better results with less effort all while having a lot more fun along the way!

Steven Burda, MBA Sr. Financial Analyst at PECO (August 6, 2009)

Great to be part of Phil's trusted network! Always a pleasure to be professionally associated with a consummate professional of great caliber! Highly recommend to all others. Thank you.

Wolf von Brisinski, Stelleur Worldwide Inc. (August 5, 2009)

Phil is a passionate Entrepreneur and Career Coach with a high level of Integrity who is an out of the box thinker and serves the human race with dedication and fun for life.

Philbert Suresh, Meeting of Minds for Sustainability (July 31, 2009)

Teaching is a talent of touching hearts and minds of young people. This was proved during a recent audio LIVE hook up of Phil with my students in BA 361 Leadership at GUST Kuwait.

Douglas Churchill, Growth-Oriented Sales Leader (March 10, 2008)

Phil is a consummate professional with a true passion for coaching. Phil's deep knowledge of business leadership and his unique perspective on the world of commerce has been of great interest and benefit. I strongly endorse Phil.

Bill Wiersma, Retired Sales Executive (September 7, 2007)

Working with Phil I quickly discovered that my fears, habits and perceptions limit my overall perspective by erecting barriers between myself and others. Only by stripping away these obstacles, could I understand that leadership is not something to be exercised but is truly serving and inspiring others. This, in turn, stimulates others to strive for higher performance and the desire to produce exceptional results. Understanding who you are is the first step in becoming an authentic leader. I started the journey with Phil and every day I see how these truths impact myself, my family and my colleagues.

I have been coached by Phil for a few months now and feel I have made incredible improvements at work. As a result of my coaching with Phil I truly feel that I am on my way to being an authentic leader. I have noticed remarkable improvements in my relationships at work and in my personal life. I have learned to really listen and not take things personally so I can understand where the other person is coming from. I recognize when someone is yelling that it comes from a place of fear and instead of getting defensive I listen so I can understand how I can help that individual. Phil has truly inspired me to be the best I can be. I realize it is going to be a journey and not an easy one, however, the results already have been outstanding I can't wait to see what is in store for me as I continue to work and improve. Thank you Phil!!

When I worked with Phil in Mitsubishi he was the most successful Field Sales person and was in charge of all semiconductor sales for Mitsubishi in Canada. His was the fastest growing sales group in the company. His selling style was unique and he developed his sales staff by personal coaching and helped them develop into effective sales people and leaders. Now as a MBL coach at Master of Business Leadership, Phil is utilizing his years of experience in Sales and Mentoring to teach these very skills to hundreds of professionals in various industries. I am highly impressed by Phil's teaching style and the way he makes his concepts clear to the students.

Finally a no-nonsense program designed to transfer the skill to achieving better results, significant results tailored to me. It was an easy decision to try the course. After the course, feedback from family, peers and customers confirms the tangible benefits. Unproductive, perceptions and habits (i.e. roadblocks) are replaced with more productive and more frequent results. Who would have guessed!

To say that Phil Johnson is good at what he does is an understatement. Working with him as my leadership coach, he was quickly able to identify the habits, perceptions and fears that were holding me back from achieving my goals and being an authentic leader. 
Phil is intuitive and draws upon a wealth of experience in working with his clients. Every meeting with him was a powerful course in understanding where I need to take action in my life and how to move closer towards a life that is authentic. My husband says he could always tell when I had met with Phil because of my renewed optimism and energy. 
Whether you're a small business owner, a VP, or an artist, I highly recommend Phil as someone knowledgeable, personable and dedicated, who will help you to become an authentic and powerful leader.
