About this listen

Phil’s two consultancies run on one principle: businesses are not machines, and they don’t operate on machine logic. Neither do independent consultants. The guests, conversations and advice on his podcast explore the joys, possibilities and pitfalls of the consultant’s life and work - always from a candid, human perspective. If you want to build a lasting consultancy shaped by strong ethics and a commitment to excellence, this podcast is a must-listen.
