What Clients Say

Many people have been kind enough to provide feedback about my work. My thanks to them all. This is a selection.

As a Mentor

Philip is a knowledgeable and skillful businessman and a valuable addition to any Board, however, his talents as a teacher/trainer, coach and mentor, particularly within the field of digital/Interactive communications, are, without doubt, amongst the finest I have come across. Highly recommended.
Chris Clarke, Clarke Associates and formerly Eisner Communications Inc.

Philip is, without doubt, the best business mentor that I have ever had. He is able to direct thinking towards a natural clarity that removes the fog that so often gets in the way of creating strategy. I would recommend Philip’s technique, expertise and generosity in the way he mentors people to discover their own direction and to anyone wanting to achieve huge results for themselves.
Stephen Harvard Davis, Assimilating-Talent

Philip has an excellent quality. He listens. He has great insight, questions effectively and has the patience & skill to mentor. He holds up a mirror of truth to you and you may not like what you see. But that is where he can help you begin to change what’s not working.
Marcus Cauchi, Managing Director, S.A>L.T (Europe) Ltd

Philip is a towering intellect and one of the finest mentors I have known in the last twenty five years. I have worked with thousands of people, but quite frankly, Philip is the governor!
Shaz Quereshi, Managing Partner, SOCA Management Consultants Ltd

Philip is a great entrepreneur who combines technical, management and leadership skills. He is a leader of leaders, a fine human being and I get inspired and motivated when I talk to him.
B Hari, CEO, Ontrack Systems Ltd, India

Very clear and insightful, Philip has the ability to both reflect what you don’t know you are thinking and clearly deliver what is needed for clarity in your own thoughts.
Ian Plumbley, Managing Director, Kazco Ltd

Philip is an outstanding mentor and an extremely knowledgeable businessman. He has unrivalled experience in building companies and in exiting them. His charming, efficient and seamless approach to business solutions is a refreshing change. The only problem is that he is immensely talented so there is a great demand on his time!
William Alexander, Entrepreneur

As a Core Process Practitioner

Philip is doing something very powerful with Core Process. By working to encapsulate an individual’s style and motivation, he ensures that they can focus on their strengths and perform in their own unique way. His latest gift is to take Core Process further as a powerful tool on team dynamics, identifying which Core Processes are complementary in the team and which may be in opposition. I wish he and Core Process had been there for my MBI team!
Jonathan S. Palmer, The Bridge Management Group

I suspected working with Philip would be fun and would take me to new thinking places. It WAS fun and when we arrived at my core process of Synchronising Desire it was like a “When Harry Met Sally” moment - yes, Yes, YES!! Would I recommend Philip? Absolutely!
Sue Blake, Sue Blake Media

I finally managed to sit down with Philip de Lisle and got to my Core Process thanks to Philip’s thoughtful and skilful guidance - a truly interesting and inspiring experience!
Glenn Watkins, Chief Executive, Ecademy

As a Speaker

Great presentation skills. Thoroughly enjoyable.
Sheryll Ramsey, Lloyds TSB

You did an amazing job of condensing a large amount of facts into a fairly brief, but still entertaining presentation. Opening set a good tone and gave a certain “lightness” to what could have been a hefty talk. I stayed awake after a busy day, in a very warm room - think that says it all! Sitting at the back I could see that everyone was listening and intently too.
Marion Ohlendorf, Institute of Directors, Hertfordshire Branch

You can rely on Philip to face issues, the important issues, square on and to support you in doing the same. He does the same for gatherings of people. At a seminar I ran recently he thoroughly engaged for one hour some 25 of the extremely independent minded Business Angels who are signed up with Beer and Partners. This is the sort of occasion which just has to go well.
Simon Heywood, Associate, Beer and Partners

Thanks for a great talk Philip, there’s a phrase in theatre, now in common parlance, which is “winging it” which means that you haven’t had time to rehearse anything, which is I guess what you were doing last night! And we always say that you have to be a true professional to wing it - which of course you are!
Deirdre Dee, Managing Director, Best Events Ltd

Philip’s dead straight, totally focused on the long term and willing to share anything if it’ll help you along the road to success. What’s more he actually knows what he’s talking about!
