Coaching and Facilitation

Navigate Complexity and Lead with Confidence

Phīla’s advisors are experienced facilitators and coaches. Our facilitation helps families and boards host productive, inclusive meetings where complex decisions get made with clarity and care. Our coaching offering provides one-on-one support to individuals navigating transitions, stepping into new philanthropic roles or seeking greater confidence in how they lead. In both settings, we bring a balance of structure and flexibility–grounded in deep listening, strong relationships, and a commitment to turning meaningful conversation into action.

Family Dynamics & Decision-Making

We guide families through important conversations about shared values, giving goals, and legacy planning. Sometimes that means working through a tough issue; other times it’s about building on existing strengths. We create focused, welcoming spaces that help families align and move forward together.

Board Meeting Facilitation

Our advisors design and lead board meetings that are engaging, inclusive, and purpose-driven. We help create shared understanding, elevate diverse perspectives, and ensure aligned decisions.
