About Individual Sessions with Phillip Moffitt
Changes and transitions are a fact of life for all of us. For you, the change may be happening in your personal life, in your role as a leader, or in the realm of making a big decision about selling your company or changing your business strategy. Phillip Moffitt offers individual sessions focusing on personal Change & Transition Strategy, Leadership/Organizational Development, and Business Strategy.
Change is natural and necessary, but often difficult and uncertain. Every person, even the most successful, has times in their lives when they need help imagining a change. One reason for this is it can be a real challenge to understand what all the driving factors are in a major life change. Equally important is planning the steps of the transition that follows a change event. Often, we avoid consciously focusing on the transition because the emotions generated by the change are so intense. One of the great values of doing strategy sessions with Phillip is to bring mindful attention to the transition process as failure to do so often leads to undesirable outcomes.
About Change & Transition Strategy Sessions
Change & Transition Strategy sessions can make a major difference for you if you are considering a change in your personal life, in your career, or if you have questions about satisfaction and meaning in life.
In these individual sessions, Phillip Moffitt acts as your advocate and ally as you do a deep exploration of your current situation and the questions surrounding it. In this process you gain clarity about the internal and external forces that are involved in your current change and learn perspectives and techniques for staying in balance. Phillip emphasizes that this is not psychotherapy; it is an “intervention” in the sense that it results in a plan of action.
In the process of this work, you identify or clarify your values and intentions and this, in and of itself, can bring a sense of relief and ease to your life. With Phillip’s guidance, you sort out your options, discover real possibilities, and prioritize the considerations that are in play in your change and transition. From there, you create a plan complete with goals and strategies and identify the steps needed to implement it.

Here are some of the issues Phillip has helped past clients with:
Selling a Business
- Clarifying whether or not this is the time you want to sell your business and if so, how you want to go about it.
- Defining the whole package of what you want from the sale including considerations such as taking care of employees and deciding whether you will have continued involvement or no involvement.
- In your particular situation, exploring how you would go about a sale and how to handle it internally with your employees.
Creating unconventional sales options. - Often there is great ambivalence about selling and Phillip helps you sort through the ambivalence.

Buying a Company
- Sorting through whether it makes sense to buy.
- Exploring what kind of offer you need to make.
- Examining how the purchase may affect your existing operations.
Organizational Restructuring
In organizational restructuring, sometimes it’s the ownership structure that needs to be changed.
Sometimes the question is about regaining clarity as to what business you’re really in or want to be in.
Whether you are selling, buying, or restructuring a company, the considerations are values-based such that all your decisions reflect your values. Phillip also helps you assess your capacity to implement a change at this time; are you truly in a position to buy, sell, or restructure?
