About Phillip Van Hooser

For the past twenty plus years, companies large and small, throughout the U.S. and around the globe, have trusted Phillip Van Hooser and his expertise to provide solutions for the leadership development issues their people face.

When Phil Van Hooser started as an Employee Relations manager in heavy manufacturing, he never imagined the lessons he would learn would change his life much less impact the careers of hundreds of thousands of leaders.

But the last ten months of his ten year corporate Human Resources career was a turning point. In that short time, Phil earned a Masters Degree in "What the Worst Leaders do in Poorly Managed Workplaces."

As the only staff member to avoid a pink slip, Phil resigned his position, took the leadership truths he discovered and began sharing them with companies who understand that "Cultivating Great Leaders Creates Competitive Advantage."

Phil's clients will tell you that his expertise has helped their organizations achieve new levels of success and profitability through focused attention on developing their leaders. Organizations and individuals have used his strategies to:

• lower turnover rates
• raise productivity
• improve management/employee relations
• help their people manage change effectively and
• communicate successfully with co-workers, superiors and customers.

Since 1988, Phil's 800 plus clients and their unique organizational circumstances have afforded him a diverse array of leadership case studies from which to learn. Van Hooser wraps this multi-layer experience into customized leadership keynote presentations, training courses and personalized coaching for his clients.
