About Philip

Philip Goldman is one of the most experienced and sought after executive coaches in Europe having coached 100s of C suite leaders over the last 30 years. He has worked across the majority of business sectors giving him the insight and agility to produce outstanding results and surpass clients’ expectations.

Philip has decades of experience in the principles of the Inner Game and its practical application, completing his training with Graham Alexander and Sir John Whitmore in the 1980s.

Central to Philip’s philosophy is the Inner Game’s foundational maxim: you understand it “when you discover there is an opponent inside your head that is more formidable than the one that is across the net”. His empathetic approach helps to create a space of psychological safety that allows his clients to effect profound change, transforming their relationship with this ‘opponent’ to increase their performance as leaders and human beings.

Philip’s work is commercial, practical and strategic. He brings to his coaching decades of insights and experience acquired through working with outstanding leaders in Consultancy, Retail, Hospitality, Manufacturing, Banking, Pharmaceuticals and Financial Services. His deep understanding of existential enquiry and its application helps leaders to connect with their “being in their doing” and harness their emotions and energies to create and leverage the powerful relationships that create real value, to bring about transformation in both themselves and their organisations.

Formerly, the Managing Director of a major sports chain, Philip has practical management, retail sales and marketing experience.

Clients value his expertise and his supportive, challenging coaching style. Philip is highly skilled in steering clients through demanding business agendas and in enabling them to successfully transition into new
challenges, becoming more creative, resilient, self aware and impactful.
