SPEAK

Keynotes that make the meeting. More than 700 presentations, including 600 to Vistage CEO groups, on the emotions of leadership, the stories that run our lives, and what AI is really doing to work. No warmed-over slides. Stories, psychology, and forty years in the trenches.

COACH

The Executive Confidant. Private coaching for leaders who don’t join groups: a coach in your back pocket who will check your head, challenge your assumptions, and keep your confidences. A few clients at a time, by mutual selection. When the business is a family business, the work extends to the whole family through Veritage.

The AI is the easy part. Your people are the hard part. As an advisor to PeopleTransformation.ai, I help leadership teams make change executable — building the trust, clarity, and execution discipline that turn AI investment into adopted practice instead of expensive shelfware.

Testimonials

Dear Don, Thank you for your support and guidance. It’s always ‘right on the mark’. Since your session at our annual staff retreat, we have come a long way. Victims, Villains and Heroes makes so much sense, drama in the workplace is greatly diminished.
Our staff loved your presentation and were totally engaged. You kept their attention and really drove points home. It had an impact. Conversations among staff are on a deeper, more meaningful level. We made tremendous growth in a very short period of time. Victims, Villains and Heroes is a powerful frame. Thank you again for your guidance.”

“If you’ve wished that you had the expertise of a labor law attorney, an organizational leadership expert, executive coach, all wrapped in a bow of dynamic storytelling available in one person, look no further than Don Phin. With his coaching, I’ve grown even more confident in leading Bayberry toward achieving strategic outcomes by setting clear goals, getting buy-in from our management team, delegating responsibilities, and instilling accountability in our organizational culture. Don is invaluable to me and to my agency.”
