“I received extensive training and coaching from Phil Gray over an eleven month period while at HVO. He helped me immensely leading, motivating and communicating with small teams of contractors I supervise. He has helped my ability and confidence grow like never before, and he helped me realise the importance, incredible value and great results we can achieve when leading with integrity. Phil has left a lasting positive impact on myself as both a person and as a leader in the demanding mining industry. I know Phil has helped shape my leadership style and he has helped steer my career in the right direction.”
