Ways to Work with Philippa
Meet Philippa
What sets Philippa apart is her ability to tackle core challenges that organisations face today—disengaged employees, siloed teams, a lack of innovation, and resistance to change. In a world marked by quiet quitting, disconnection, and a scarcity mindset, Philippa is dedicated to reigniting leaders and teams. Her approach transcends profit-driven goals, focusing on cultivating environments where people unite around a shared purpose, break out of silos, and embrace new, innovative ways of thinking.
Born in South Africa, raised in Canada, running a business in the UK and residing in Brazil, Philippa’s global experience offers a rich, cross-cultural perspective that informs her every talk. Whether addressing dominant voices, team stagnation, or lack of collaboration, she creates the space for leaders to reflect, adapt, and grow.
As an international speaker, author of the international bestselling book Return on Humanity, and host of the TIE Unearthed podcast, Philippa combines powerful storytelling with actionable insights. She helps audiences shift perspectives, embrace challenges and become more adaptable and engaged.
With over 60 published articles and two decades of experience working with top global companies, she deeply understands the pressures leaders face and provides practical solutions that resonate deeply.
