Testimonials

“As the owner of a law firm, I have had the privilege of working with Phil Ohl, whose roots in high-performance sports give him a rare and powerful edge in the world of executive coaching. Phil does not just teach leadership; he demands the kind of deep, transformative work that only the most driven individuals, fully committed to winning, are prepared to execute. Phil’s coaching is grounded in the principles of elite athletic performance, where team chemistry and the relentless pursuit of excellence are essential. Phil challenges you to move beyond surface-level management, pushing you to rise above and deliver high-impact results. I have entrusted several staff and family members to Phil’s coaching care, and I strongly recommend Phil and Leader’s Edge to anyone serious about elevating their performance and realizing their fullest potential.”

"We engaged The Leader's Edge to support our consulting firm in transforming a misaligned group of senior leaders and partners into a cohesive, high-functioning team. From the outset, The Leader's Edge provided expert guidance and a structured approach that made a significant impact on our organization.  The journey began with a two-day retreat, where our leaders were invited to collaborate and identify a bold three-year audacious goal. This retreat was pivotal in unifying our team and establishing a shared vision for the future. The process fostered a sense of alignment and purpose that was previously lacking. Additionally, The Leader's Edge provided one-on-one coaching to our managing partner, which proved to be invaluable. The personalized coaching helped to enhance leadership effectiveness and address specific challenges within the team. This support extended beyond the retreat, with monthly update meetings that ensured we stayed on track and maintained momentum toward our goals.  The trust we developed in The Leader's Edge's expertise and approach led us to invite them to work with other members of our partnership group. Their ability to build trust, facilitate collaboration, and drive results was evident throughout our engagement. Thanks to The Leader's Edge, our senior leadership team is now aligned, motivated, and better equipped to achieve our ambitious goals. Their support has been instrumental in our journey toward becoming a more effective and united organization. I highly recommend The Leader's Edge to any organization looking to strengthen their leadership team and achieve meaningful, lasting results."

“Dominic, your coaching was really beneficial for me while I was figuring out my first management position. You helped me find my own leadership style and stay true to it as I faced different challenges. I really appreciated that you offered advice when I asked for it and that you offered new perspectives and questions to help me find my own answers. I really see you trying to be thoughtful about how you articulate your questions and the directions you take our sessions. It was great to have a place to share and be challenged and also hyped up. And somehow you still helped us stay on track to meet my objective for the call and send me off feeling good about my next steps.”

"We hired Phil to work with our leadership team to impart key leadership principles and shift the mindset of our leaders. Over our six-month journey with Phil, he more than accomplished this shift and we have been able to sustain this mindset with the leadership team ever since. Phil’s expertise, engaging training style, and ability to ask the tough questions, transformed our leadership approach. His training has allowed our leaders to develop a deeper understanding of the impact effective leadership can have within their teams.

Phil also worked closely with me as the President of the company to tighten up our organizational and individual accountability. His strategic insights and hands-on coaching significantly improved our operational efficiency and accountability within all levels of our organization. Phil’s ability to connect with people, combined with his deep knowledge of leadership and management, made a substantial impact on our company.

Phil is an exceptional executive coach and leadership program trainer who delivers tangible results. I highly recommend him to any organization seeking to enhance their leadership capabilities and achieve higher performance."

"Working with Phil has been a game-changer in my professional journey. Operating in a high-demand, high-expectation niche within the finance and insurance world, and dealing with high-net-worth individuals, I've always been committed to finding ways to improve my performance. Over the years, I've utilized numerous resources in pursuit of my goals, but I knew I needed something more.

I sought out Phil because I deeply respected his values, accomplishments, and his impressive personal and professional track record. With only colleagues in other regions to rely on, I needed a coach who could help me enhance my mindset and execution, and increase my confidence and presence in building crucial relationships with the key players in my business.

The coaching I received from Phil has exceeded my expectations. My mindset is healthier, my execution more precise, and my confidence in relationship-building has grown exponentially. The personalized approach and deep insights provided by Phil has not only elevated my performance but also equipped me with the tools to continue growing and succeeding in my field."
