Phil Hayes-St Clair
Executive Coach • Serial Entrepreneur • Award-Winning Speaker
Hi, I’m Phil. Welcome!
Whether this is your first time here or you consume my content, please know this: I don’t take your time, trust, or attention for granted.
This work (the coaching, podcast, the toolsets) is deeply personal to me.
I enlisted in the Australian Army 30 years ago, straight out of school.
That experience taught me a lot about leadership, resilience, and the power of true partnership.
It provided an immense sense of belonging and set the scene for me to represent Australia in triathlon.
But when an unexpected eye condition made me “unserviceable,” I had to walk away from the only career I’d ever known and loved.
I thought I’d retire a professional soldier.
Instead, I spent years trying to rediscover my purpose.
That reinvention led me here, to a path as an executive coach, an 8-time entrepreneur, and an investor.
I’ve spent the last two decades turning conversations into multi-million dollar partnerships, and turning ambitious leaders into forces of impact.
And you choosing to trust me with your attention, letting me share what I’ve learned to help you grow, is one of the great privileges of my life.
Because the truth is, these tools, tactics, and mindsets don’t just grow businesses, they grow people.
And that’s what excites me most.
Glad you’re here.
Phil
