Phil is used by organisations to help team members work together more effectively, and to develop their managers. He is licensed to use a variety of psychometric instruments, which he utilises to help unlock communication and build mutual awareness within and between teams. All his workshops are designed for individual client needs.

His own management experience was gained over a 15-year period in the Pharmaceutical industry, in large multinational organisations.

Phil has worked with a large variety of companies since moving into team and management development. From the NHS to Local Government, from the IT sector to Insurance, from Medical Devices to Charities and schools - the only common factor being working with teams and their leaders to make them function more effectively. He believes in Rosabeth Moss Kanter's creed that people are not assets to an organisation until you have invested training in them - until then, and until you empower them, they are merely raw materials.

Phil’s style is challenging, forthright, experience based and fun. He does not believe he has all the answers - his method is to use a range of techniques to help participants to come up with solutions themselves. This makes the training both memorable and highly practical.

Phil also develops people in one other life skill – he has written a book, which attempts to teach men how to cook! For more information (and to get a flavour for his humour) please visit www.canmencook.com.
