"Just a quick note to say what a SUPER job you did conducting the board retreat meeting today! As I stated to you in person, I have never seen someone take such charge and show such amazing leadership in a meeting. Watching you steer us in getting down to the key elements and core issues was just great. CONGRATS on a job well done and THANKS SO MUCH!"

"Thanks again for making such a powerful difference with our team. You set us on a more authentic path and gave us all a sigh of relief.

Scott Philips and the 3Sixty program was a milestone moment for our team. Our business had recently undergone a major shift in DNA as we added a new publishing division and started selling The Free Agent Formula, a new multi-media toolkit for entrepreneurs. While this new direction was exciting, we were no longer operating like the finely tuned leadership team that we had in the past. Although our communication was still positive we were suddenly struggling to meet deadlines, had more awkward interactions around getting the tasks completed and were less certain about who should take what role.

This new publishing/sales effort clearly exposed some missing pieces and weaknesses in our team dynamic. The problem was we were all so close to the situation and each other that we couldn't see the forest from the trees.

Enter Scott Philips! Scott's intake process was quick and painless and the resulting workshop was a real eye-opener. Scott's excellent facilitation and skilled analysis of the results helped our team lay the groundwork for a stronger more authentic working dynamic. We all got a better handle on our core gifting, had a few a-ha moments and identified easy ways to re-mix our roles to better align with our strengths. One of the best take-aways was the surprising insight that we were missing a vital person and necessary skill set in our current team. I personally felt such a huge sense of relief and hope when it was revealed that I was the least qualified of the team to do one of my primary new duties (that I dreaded) and this role could be affordably outsourced.

This is some of the best money a business can spend. If your team is high functioning and you can eliminate all the roadblocks and friction, your ability to have financial and creative breakthroughs as a brand is truly unlimited."

"Just wanted to say how worthwhile, helpful and fun your Planning Retreat was yesterday. I think everyone really focused on our chamber's future and what's important & felt that the time was well spent. You're good!"

"A tremendous asset when it comes to organizational strategic planning and/or marketing and sales planning. Years of experience along with a genuine interest in people give him the creative yet practical outlook that can help you 'clear out the fog' and be direct and purposeful with future direction. I cannot recommend him highly enough."

Keith Gibson, President, Integrity Logistics (2008)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Scott has an easy going and affable personality which makes it possible for him to be accepted into any group with little difficulty. That appearance should not be construed as a pushover; Scott demonstrates leadership qualities that leave no mistake about who is in charge. He was able to take a pretty disparate group of salesman personalities and get them to work as a team. Scott was also able to understand that the people are individuals and need to be managed separately in a way that brings out their best. He is also a fast learner and by coming up to speed very quickly it was easy for the salesmen to accept him as "Boss". Because he earned the respect of the "troops" he got them to listen to him and try the new approaches he was advocating." "I would whole heartedly recommend him to anyone who is struggling to get performance out of a team."

Elliott Troutman, President, Max-Viz, Inc. (2007)

“Scott is a top rate strategic leader, professional coach and facilitator. He leads through listening. His listening is built on excellent and timely questions that cut to the core of the current issues (professionally and organizationally). Scott is a strategic planner, thinker and leader. He will help take you or your team (or both) to the next level!”

Jeff VandenHoek, Owner, Intentionality, LLC (2007)

"Scott has worked as a strategic planning advisor for Health Cost Management on more than one occasion. He has helped me as the owner, not only with forming a clear strategic plan, but also to understand more clearly what I'm looking for on a personal basis. He is very easy to work with and extremely patient, working with me step by step until I really get it. I highly recommend Scott."

"We can't thank you enough for the wonderful, intense retreat we did together recently. It was time very well spent. You are great!

Tami Rockholt, Health Cost Management (2007)

"Scott, I was very, very pleased with the work you and your entire team did these last two days. The meeting and results met and exceeded my expectations. Again, thank you to you and each member of your team!!"
