Programs are being developed including seminars and workshops. If you do not see what you are looking for on our list, please call us to discuss your needs. Additionally, Phil is also available for keynote speaking. Contact Theresa Varble at (859) 422-2251 or (888) 663-6254 to schedule your engagement.

It is obvious that you put your heart and soul into your presentation and that is what distinguishes your workshop from any other that I have attended. Your personal testimony, peppered with a high-level overview of the ‘technical’ aspects of owning a business, was the perfect mix."

Phil's presentation to our leadership team had an impact on our lives at work and at home. He helped all of us understand and figure out what is really important. With the demands that all employees face on a daily basis, Phil was able to help us leave with a much more clear focus of what we needed to accomplish in the work place as well as our personal lives.

Phil has the ability to ensure that he is relating to all participants. He did his homework and really made an impact on each of us. We left his program energized and enthused. The hour and a half spent with Phil flew by."
