Phil has been a consultant to a wide range of Government Departments and non-government organisations in Australia and New Zealand such as the Department of Education, Department of Family Services, Australian Institute of Management, Telstra, Comalco, Royal Brisbane Hospital, Criminal Justice Commission, Queensland Fire and Rescue Service, Queensland Ambulance Service, and was the chief consulting psychologist with the electricity generation industry in Queensland for more than twenty years. He has also conducted, throughout this same period, a pro bono practice in clinical psychology and a personal counselling service, with over two thousand clients from private, business, educational, and family settings and has presented over one hundred parenting & family relationship programs in Australia in New Zealand.

Phil co-authored with Ted Scott the popular books HUMANITY AT WORK and the new edition, THE MYTH OF NINE TO FIVE: Work, Work Places, and Workplace Relationships.

News Corp’s Boss Magazine named this latter book as amongst the top ten management texts they had reviewed during 2002. In 2001 & 2002 Phil & Ted Scott conducted a series of one day Master Classes on behalf of the Australian Institute of Management entitled Leadership and ‘Self’ for business leaders in key city and regional centres throughout Queensland and the Northern Territory.

Phil has been a Keynote Speaker at more than fifty professional conferences and addressed numerous audiences as a guest speaker on a wide range of diverse subjects such as Organisation Development; Leadership Development; Motivation – Moving Beyond Passive Compliance to Active Involvement; Team Development; Personal Adjustment & Interpersonal Relationships; Managing Difficult People; Conflict Resolution; Effective Parenting – Beyond Passive Compliance; Leadership & Spirituality; The True Nature of Free-Will & Responsibility; What It Means to be Human; Influencing Fundamental Change; Managing Stress, and Understanding People in Life & Work – Some New Ways of ‘Seeing’.

Phil presented as a regular weekly guest psychologist with compère Richard Fydler on ABC Radio in Queensland Australia. He is currently in the process of writing a book entitled ONE DEGREE OF FREEDOM: Solving the ‘free-will’ problem that proposes a ‘frame-breaking’ understanding of the nature of human freedom and responsibility. This allows for a seamless intertwining of real ‘choice’ and the obvious ‘determinism’ that arises from the ‘chance’ circumstances of one’s birth (‘nature’) and history (‘nuture’)
