Phillip Ball

Phillip began his career in the family furniture business. He was mentored by his father, David, who is still running the business as an 88-year old. From an early age, Phil took after his father’s impressive work ethic, showing extraordinary aptitude for all of the elements of business ownership.  By the time he married his high school sweetheart, Lisa, in 1992, Phil had gained experience in every niche and cranny of business ownership, including warehousing, service, delivery, sales, and management. He took each of these experiences to heart, coming to a deep understanding of responsibility required in each area of expertise and the value in each.

 

After ten years as a firefighter, a lieutenant and training officer, Phillip partnered with his wife in a myriad of ventures, including owning and operating multiple furniture stores, franchised food service, home fragrance and property management. Taking the skills and expertise he’d gained after 30 years in the field, Phillip was able to parlay his natural people skills into a successful and profitable business enterprise. (Yes, they are still married and best friends.) They also raised a daughter, Emmy, with the same values and work ethic.

 

In 2005, his company won the industry Gold Award, a title awarded for year-over-year growth of 50% or more. In 2006 he topped that, receiving the Platinum Award, which is reserved for companies with year-over-year growth of 100%. He also received top sales volume in his current company for 14 years straight and received Manager of the Year for 7 of those years – just to name a few!

 

With such incredible performance in the industry, Phil nurtured a growing set of values that went beyond entrepreneurship. Throughout his career, Phillip had been becoming increasingly aware of the difficulty finding a balance between excelling at work and tending his own inner needs and those of his family.

 

So in 2008, Phillip sold his business and moved to Florida with his family, committing to become a better father, husband, employer and employee. He intentionally carved out time for downtime and self-care, finding that these often overlooked areas of a healthy psyche created a tremendous positive difference in all areas of his life.

 

He was also becoming aware that he was not alone in this struggle for a well-being that went beyond productivity. Many of his coworkers, business partners, and friends also felt stuck, unable to navigate a balanced relationship between inner self and the fast-paced, demanding life of entrepreneurship.

 

So, he took a leap of faith and applied his management skills into another realm. Achieving certifications and accreditations in Life Coaching, Behavioral and Emotional Intelligence, Enneagram coaching and more, Phil started working one-on-one with clients who wanted more from their harried lives – more peace, more happiness, more balance.

 

After a few years, Phillip’s coaching business started to take on a life of its own. Clients were coming to him for deep inner questions, and because of his many years of experience in the fast-paced business world, they knew he could relate to their unique frustrations and stuck places. His coaching style is distinctly client-focused, holding space for the desires, needs, and goals of each and every person he sits with instead of telling them what to do to be happy. He helps them flesh out their own areas of strength and weakness, and see a clear next step.

 

Phillip is excited to come alongside more clients who are committed to self-growth and inner work as he follows his heart to expand the business.
