In this episode, we’re joined by Phil Evans, founder of Ambition Performance Coaching. Phil is an executive coach with extensive experience advising leaders and Partners of accounting and professional services firms across Australia.

Phil began his career in elite sport, working with professional athletes in sport science, so as an executive coach he links that high performance mind set and behaviours to the modern corporate and professional services world Phil shares plenty of insights into the journey of partnership, from those readiness conversations to the key attributes needed to become a Partner. We cover a lot in this chat, including, the importance of life balance, the need for consistency of character, what keeps Partners up at night, as well as the need for having good, supportive people around you throughout your career.

I really enjoyed this chat, and not just because Phil is a scouser and Liverpool fan, but because it was great to hear that connection from elite sport to the corporate world and how Phil’s insights and advice relate to the path to partnership. So, whether you’re an emerging leader or a partner looking to elevate your practice, this conversation is packed with valuable advice. Up the reds!
