3 Months
Interactive, cohort-based program, that provides leaders/emerging leaders with knowledge and skills to enhance leadership competencies within their organizations.
The customizable course(s) will follow the principle of ‘spaced out learning’ and be delivered over a period of 3 months, with approximately 2 hrs of online, asynchronous learning (on own time at own pace) per week, combined with in-person (or virtual if required/requested), half-day facilitated workshops at key intervals to bring the learning to life (approximately every 3-4 weeks).
The hybrid approach to learning will maximize the opportunities to develop long lasting leadership behaviours, as well as minimizing time away from regular roles and duties, limiting the impact on operational workloads and responsibilities.
The course presents learnings in a multitude of different ways to meet the needs of individual learning styles and includes a variety of exercises to further help grasp what is being taught and how it applies to us all as leaders.
It takes a coaching lens and style, to help participants ask the questions ‘What, So What? Now What?’, and includes weekly group forum discussions to help share insights and maximize learnings.
The course can also include an Emotional Intelligence assessment and associated one-on-one debrief, highlighting the principle that you can only lead others as far as you can lead yourself.

Based on the Bar-On-EQ-i model by Reuven Bar-On, copyright 1997.
Emotional intelligence is proven to be a key indicator of human performance and development, and the Emotional Quotient Inventory 2.0 (EQ-i 2.0 – the assessment we offer at Impact Leadership), is the leading measure of it. It’s been administered to over one million people in 66 countries and translated into 45 languages. Used primarily for coaching and development, the tool helps to determine and address an individual’s personal development needs through the measurement of emotional intelligence
We’ve instinctively known for a long time that it’s not all about cognitive intelligence (IQ), and other factors are at least as important when it comes to success in life (ever heard the phrase mindset over skillset?). In fact, one could even make the argument that to take advantage of our IQ, we first need good EQ, because regardless of how smart we may be, if we turn people off with abrasive behaviour, are unaware of how we are presenting ourselves and show up for others, or cave in under minimal stress, no one will stick around long enough to notice our IQ (The EQ Edge, S.J. Stein, PhD and H.E. Book, M.D., 2011).
EQ is not permanently fixed. The skills defined and measured by each of the EQi’s scales in this model can be improved no matter how old you are. The stronger you can develop your skills, the greater chance for success – the more likely you are to be a successful partner, parent, friend, leader, an adult child to your own parents, an employee. Whatever it is, it always requires EQ.
Phil will provide you with a detailed assessment of your areas of strength and potential areas for development that will help frame the coaching engagement. Your comprehensive report will describe how your EQ competencies work together and provide suggested strategies for bringing them into balance for greater effectiveness. All of this will be done via powerful, one-on-one coaching sessions to help you in your continued growth and development.
The EQi 360 assessment is a very powerful and humbling tool designed for maximum growth. It combines your own perceptions of your EQ with the perceptions of others who know you well. You will receive a comprehensive report as you would in an EQi 2.0, yet this time it will also include how others view your EQ, highlighting your strengths and blind spots that can be leveraged for further growth.
Phil set the tone for our 2 day retreat. His relatable style and depth of lived experienced resonated with the group as was obvious from the numerous call backs to his key points throughout the rest of the retreat. I highly recommend working with Phil Jewell as a high-impact collaborator for your next offsite or retreat.
I was fortunate to be a part of Phil’s workshop around becoming a Purpose Driven Organization, and it was a truly transformative day. He delivered engaging content with interactive activities, providing a fresh perspective that challenged conventional thinking. The workshop was not only insightful but also deeply motivating, leaving us inspired to apply the knowledge in our roles and organization. As an executive leader, I highly recommend Phil for a dynamic and impactful learning experience. His openness and knowledge leads to an unforgettable journey toward growth.
Thank you for the great team session; it absolutely met my expectations. I think you did a great job of holding space with the content and following the group discussion, taking time to unpack the material as it was landing with the team. You stayed in the space of “non-expert” while also demonstrating that you have learned experience as a leader and shared this through story telling vice PowerPoint slides. This was something that resonated with everyone – your real-life experience and what you took from those to enhance your growth as a leader. The reflection exercises were meaningful and tied to this notion of individuals making up a collective, where everyone has a role to play in workplace culture. I feel like this session was a step up from foundational and took as to the next level. THANK YOU!!
After having heard Phil speak myself, I was so impacted by his message that I invited him to speak to the whole leadership team here at Steel Auto Group. He did not disappoint. His messages and storytelling captivated the team; his points resonating clearly with everyone. We were fortunate enough to have some open discussion afterwards, where Phil shared some more of his lessons and beliefs; all of this led to some very thought provoking and honest reflections that will help us grow as a team and navigate the challenges ahead of us. I would highly recommend Phil as a speaker. He is honest, vulnerable, and ‘real/unique’ – he has lived the leadership experiences and not just read about them!
We were delighted to have Phil as a keynote speaker at during inaugural Forestry Innovation Symposium. His storytelling was captivating, drawing out lessons that resonated with the audience. His universal message and principals apply to us all, without needing to be forestry or industry specific.
Phil is an excellent speaker and delivered a very powerful session to the peer group that I lead. His speech is simple yet profound. His messages, shared through storytelling, are packed with golden nuggets that ensured everyone walked away with something tangible that they committed to putting into action. I would highly recommend him as a speaker.
I have been fortunate to hear Phil deliver his keynote speech on two separate occasions; once when I was a leader amongst other leaders, and then subsequently when I invited him to speak to my own team. Both times I left feeling inspired, motivated and engaged to tackle the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. Phil is an excellent storyteller, and does a great job at making an emotional connection with his audience. He’s principles and points are highly relevant to any leader and any team, irrelevant of the profession, and there is not doubt that anyone who hears Phil speak will leave inspired and motivated to be the best version of themselves.
We invited Phil to speak to our agents at our two annual business planning sessions totally around 300 people. We wanted to inspire and motivate them; give them the belief that they have what it takes to navigate the challenges ahead. Phil met this objective and more. His powerful storytelling captivated the audience and I have never seen every single person in the room be as silent and engaged as when Phil was speaking. His ability to relate the message to our world and unique challenges was extremely appreciated and impressive, and without a doubt he left us all inspired to face the uncertainties that lie ahead. I would highly recommend Phil as a speaker to your organisation and leadership teams. He has a fresh perspective that we all need to hear.
I heard Phil speak to the peer group I am part of and was so impressed that I invited him to spend the afternoon with my own leadership team. He didn’t disappoint and did a great job at sharing his message in an interactive session that certainly left many wondering how they might adapt and evolve how they show up as a leader. His principles are universally relevant to the newest leader as they are to the most seasoned leader, and he will certainly challenge you to think and see leadership through a different lens. I would highly recommend Phil as an engaging and thought-provoking speaker to help inspire and give your team confidence to face the challenges that lie ahead
We invited Phil to speak at the end of a three-day strategic planning session with our management team, and he did not disappoint! His powerful storytelling captivated the room, but it was his ability to relate his stories and experiences to our world and daily realities that really resonated the most. It was impactful, emotional, and also extremely relevant and applicable to the challenges, issues, and opportunities we face. I would highly recommend Phil as a speaker to your organisation. His fresh perspective really does challenge our way of thinking and leading and left a lasting impact on all of us.
Not stale, corporate management training dressed as leadership. But real leadership.
