Motivational Speaker ~ Persuasion and Influence


Philip took his own advertising agency to 17 consecutive years of growth from 0 to billings of £48 million and learned how to sell both in good times and bad. He then sold his business to become a full-time professional speaker on ‘The Psychology of Persuasion and Influence.’

Philip is inspirational, enlightening, entertaining, motivational and thought provoking.
