What People Are Saying
“After having numerous professional coaches before it was quite refreshing not to just focus on things that I was struggling with or difficult issues I had at the time, Phil focused on my strengths and the strengths of my peers too… this helped me interact and communicate better with my team. I found this approach made more sense and created a more positive energy and focus to our coaching discussions. Phil quickly puts you at ease which is good, making it easier to discuss some of those trickier topics. What Phil was also very clear about was what his role would be as my coach, I found this framed the meetings and helped me stay on track. His experience is astounding and it’s not hard to see why he is in high demand.”
“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.”
“I highly recommend Jane, she has been an tremendous impact on streamlining the office processes and management of our business, she has also been of great assistance with HR issues and has also been helpful in establishing new processes and procedures. She listens well and applies her skills and knowledge in an appropriate and useful manner, relevant to our business. She also relates well to all staff. We are so grateful to have her support within our business.”
“Thank you Phil and Justin for your presentation at the FYG Planners Conference held in Melbourne. Our advisers enjoyed being reminded of how important it is to distinguish listening from hearing and how essential it is to provide clear instructions and the value of providing clarity when questioning. The key staff indicated that they learned that ‘listening is not just hearing’, and ‘how important it is to be empathetic, not sympathetic.’ “
“Tabor Victoria participated in a Strengths Finder Workshop which was ably led by Phil Gray. I think it was a great day for our staff. It was both helpful and liberating to be encouraged to focus less on our weaknesses individually and corporately and to really celebrate and enhance our strengths. We look forward to implementing what we have learned as we move forward in our strength as an organisation. We would encourage most any organisation to embark on a similar journey with Phil Gray”
“I was lucky enough to have Phil Gray train and coach me in all things leadership, communications and presentations while employed at HVO. Phil’s knowledge of our industries day to day operations and the part my role plays to achieve our targets while prioritising safety and developing my leadership style really helped lay solid foundations for success. Phil’s approach towards improving people is rich in experience, very practical and timeline focused.”
“Phil delivers more than he’s asked to, and genuinely invests himself in achieving the best possible outcomes for his clients. Personally, he has taught me a lot over the past few years and helped us generate some spectacular outcomes. Phil knows how to listen, he commits himself to your vision and will help you reach the sort of goals that often seem out of reach. Phil’s Accelerate Program will return it’s value to you many times over – If you want to grow, my only advice would be to give him a call and if he has room for you, grab the opportunity and go for it!”
“I have worked with Phil, in a number of scenarios that required serious professional skills to correct histories of poor performance in an organisation. In all cases Phil has bought a significant difference to the operations of the organisation, lifting the level of professionalism of the operation, and improving the financial income of those organisations. Phil is able to very clearly gauge the ‘temperature’ of an organisation, identify the key areas that require attention, and then implement a clear plan to rectify those areas of concern.”
“Phil has years of experience in personal and professional development. His ability to read and reach an audience and engage on many levels coupled with a remarkable understanding of how specific personal development traits contribute best to organisational outcomes make him an ideal facilitator and coach. I highly recommend Phil for personal development and management coaching for organisations that place value on improving the worth and contributions of their best asset, their people.”
