Phillip Holmes is one of the best job coaches I’ve had the opportunity to work with. He helped me develop strong strategies for dealing with toxic leaders. He gives you space to share your experiences, truly listens, and validates your feelings and emotions. He takes your concerns seriously and helps you identify the best ways to handle toxic leadership, including the signs to watch for.


Phillip, keep making a difference in people’s lives. Keep doing what you’re doing. You are doing great work and positively impacting so many people who are facing toxic leaders. I will always remember the strategies you taught me and continue to use them at work.


As a former justice lawyer and education minister once said, “Education is what got us into this mess, and education is what’s going to get us out of it.”

I’ve been working with Phillip for only a month, yet in that short time I’ve already learned practical tools and mindset shifts to improve my communication skills at work. I started working with Phillip because I identified patterns that have repeated throughout my career and I wanted to understand what I was doing to create these and how I could do things differently. Working with Phillip has brought a complete mindset shift that is enlightening , empowering, and exciting. Phillip’s coaching style is supportive and empathetic. He asks great questions that guide me to the answers I need but had been unable to find on my own.

Senior Pastor- City of Hope Church

As a Pastor in a growing church, the organization was moving at a rate where I needed an outside voice to bring clarity in how to lead an ever changing landscape. Phillip's coaching helped me understand more of who I am as a leader, how I thrive, and how to change the culture of an institution. Phillip's insight and compassion, vision, and care for his clients is a key reason why I look forward to our sessions. Easily the best investment I've made in growing in my leadership.

My biggest challenge before I started working with Phillip was understanding the differences between a toxic environment and a dysfunctional work environment. I think many of us use the word "toxic" without realizing it is "just" dysfunction. Neither environment is healthy, but understanding your role through the Johari Window model and the five working geniuses that Phillip so expertly guides you through with utter compassion and kindness, helped me significantly take back my power, boost my confidence, and heal my work soul. Thank you Phillip, your servant leadership is unmatched.

I contacted Phillip at a time when my confidence & self-esteem had dropped significantly, and I felt this was impacting on my ability to communicate effectively in the workplace. Phillip's approach to coaching helped me to explore some "home truths", to acknowledge certain challenges I'd been subconsciously avoiding, and to flip my view of the workplace ghosts that I believed were "out to get me". Since meeting with Phillip on a weekly basis I've been able to make changes in both my written and verbal communication style, leading to an unexpected and enlightening meeting with my client, that I simply wouldn't have thought possible a few short weeks ago! Phillip's coaching style suits me very well... the sessions are relaxed, friendly and positive - even when he's encouraging me to "speak my truth" and acknowledge my own flaws. His guidance and direction during each meeting have felt conversational rather than instructional, and any "homework" suggestions have felt like a natural way to progress following each session... they're things I'm curious to try out and eager to build into my skill set. I'm very happy with my decision to sign-up with Phillip and I have no hesitation in recommending his services.
