A Few Kind Words

 

 
 
When I first had the chance to work with Phil almost a decade ago, I was immediately impressed by his pragmatic, yet engaging, approach to leadership training and staff development. His influence effectively transformed group dynamics for the better, with gains achieved in as little as an afternoon. The concepts and initiatives Phil designed then become the framework and set the bar for how our organization has managed its now industry-renowned training and development programs ever since. With a tremendous ability to engage teams and earn their trust quickly — bolstered by a deep reserve of diverse experiences from which to draw — Phil is able to lead groups through a set of challenges and initiatives, arriving at solutions for their most complex hurdles. With an extraordinary blend of styles and expertise in the areas of leadership training, risk management and wilderness expedition leadership, the team at MASTERPOINT Strategies provides professional groups with unparalleled learning and growth opportunities. MASTERPOINT will equip your team with a set of ready-for-immediate-use tools and models that are directly transferable to the oft volatile, uncertain and complex corporate landscape.

When I first met Phil, we were working on creating academic courses for the Boston University Questrom School of Business. He was extremely generous with his time and demonstrated a great commitment to what was at the time just an idea. In meeting with BUQSB Department Chairpersons, he was able to easily bridge the worlds of outdoor education leadership and higher education, so that they were able to visualize and understand how [Expedition] Leadership models could help their program and lay the foundation for new programs in the future. His ability to embrace a vision of the future while tempering it with the reality of the logistics of operations sets him apart.

Phil Bailey once again has set the tone for our leadership team to get off on the right foot. His decades of experience working with groups in the field has led to a clear and easily transferable approach to meet teams where they’re at and set them up for success. Phil helped us clarify our motivations, intentions, and goals, so that we could ensure a high level of communication, safety, and stay united during the five-week program we were about to lead. He helped us identify which daily structures and tools we could use to help us best serve the participants. As a result of his invaluable training, our team was able to stay on the same page more often, be more collaborative and create a culture of honesty and respect. I’m truly grateful.
