Testimonials

“I have been working with Sally Phillips for many years as a Leadership Coach and recommend her regularly to anyone at the firm who wants coaching. She has been my go-to person to guide me in formulating—and attaining—my professional and personal goals. Sally sees me as a whole person and is an excellent sounding board. Her experience working with law firms and as an attorney and executive in her own right make it easier for her to cut to the key issues and keep me on track."

have referred her to leaders for one-on-one coaching. She provides savvy,
actionable advice. Sally is an excellent business confidant, and helps people

leaders in the long-term."

"I have retained Sally several times to assist my clients, mostly to conduct internal workplace investigations and provide strategic guidance on thorny corporate issues. I've brought Sally in to handle sensitive or highly political situations, particularly involving senior executives or boards of directors. Sally is a knowledgeable and insightful leadership consultant. She has a tremendous sense of interpersonal office relationships, supervisor/staff interactions and leadership skills and assessments. Sally has an innate ability to get to the core of a workplace conflict and to develop creative solutions. She fosters comfort and trust in others from staff through executives levels. At the same time, she is skilled at presenting direct and unwavering recommendations. I would trust Sally with any of my clients."

"I’ve worked with many consultants, but few who are as effective as Sally. A former Assistant General Counsel who has also served as an EVP of Human Resources, she has spent her career working with senior management in addressing real issues faced in companies. That practical work experience translates perfectly as she coaches our most senior executives, whether on organizational issues or leadership. She is very balanced in her approach…straightforward, results oriented yet empathetic.”

"The human resource function in our company was lagging strategically behind our operations. It was holding us back. Sally quickly helped us identify our problem areas; put together a realistic HR strategy aligned with our business strategy and helped us find the right person to lead the HR department going forward. Sally's understanding of the inner-workings of the corporate world, coupled with her legal know-how, made her invaluable during this process."
