A one-on-one partnership for senior leaders who want to multiply impact, reduce dependency, and reclaim freedom

Your Leadership Coach & Right Hand for the Year

When you’re at the top, the truth is… it’s lonely.

The higher you climb, the fewer people you can be truly open with. Your board and leaders expect certainty. Your team expects answers. And your family expects presence. But who do you go to when you need clarity, challenge, or someone who actually understands the weight you’re carrying?

You don’t need another consultant. You don’t need another motivational book.
You need a trusted right hand — a leadership coach who walks alongside you for the entire year. Someone who helps you see differently, think differently, and lead differently. Someone who has lived and breathed the balance and dance that is leadership across countries, continents, and cultures.

Why phil and The Irrelevant Leader™ mindset?

The Irrelevant Leader philosophy flips leadership on its head: your true success is measured not by how much your people need you, but by how little they do. When your team thrives without you, you’ve reached the highest standard of leadership.

That’s the work we do together:

  • Build the habits that make you less central to every decision.

  • Create a culture where accountability and ownership are the default.

  • Expand enterprise value by removing single-leader dependency.

  • Free you to focus on strategy, growth, and the legacy you want to leave.

This isn’t coaching on the side. This is a year-long, high-touch partnership where I become your right-hand advisor on all things leadership:

  • Private Kickoff Intensive – We begin with a full strategic leadership audit of your habits, blind spots, and organizational dependencies. I come to you, wherever you are, and spend a full week understanding who you are and how you lead.

  • Executive Coaching – sessions every other week or as needed, tailored to your current challenges and goals. Here I will hold you capable and challenge you to put what we’re talking about into action.

  • On-Call Access – Direct text, call, and email access to me throughout the year for real-time decisions and leadership dilemmas.

  • Custom Tools – Playbooks, frameworks, and diagnostic exercises from The Irrelevant Leader™ methodology, applied directly to your context.

  • Trusted Right Hand – Someone who isn’t in your boardroom or chain of command, but who always has your back and will challenge you when it matters.

This is a space where you can bring the unfiltered truth — the tough questions, the doubts, the politics, the pressure — and know you’ll get honest, experienced perspective and actionable strategies.

What the Year Looks Like

Is This Right for You?

This program is for senior leaders who:

  • Want a confidant, challenger, and coach who’s in their corner all year.

  • Are tired of being the “fixer” and want to be the “architect.”

  • Want to scale themselves out of being the bottleneck.

  • Are serious about leaving a leadership legacy that lasts.

This coaching is often the gateway into the full Irrelevant Leader Culture Partnership. By working one-on-one first, you embody the mindset yourself — and then you’re ready to scale it across your entire organization.

Why Phil

Phil Jewell has led in some of the most demanding contexts imaginable — from combat zones in Afghanistan to high-stakes boardrooms across North America. He has lived leadership where failure isn’t an option.

  • Trained at Sandhurst, one of the world’s most respected military academies

  • Served with the British, Canadian, and U.S. armies — leading across cultures, continents, and extreme conditions

  • Transitioned successfully into public service, academia, and entrepreneurship — proving the universality of his leadership approach

  • Today, Phil is the architect of The Irrelevant Leader™ — a philosophy and movement reshaping how organizations worldwide think about leadership

When you bring Phil in, you’re not just buying content. You get Phil — his lived wisdom, his scars, his stories, and his relentless commitment to helping your leaders unlock their people and your organization achieve unlimited operational efficiencies.

The Investment

This is not a program for the many, and the fee for this one-on-one executive coaching partnership reflects this (think 5 figures).

For senior leaders, the ROI is clear: even a 2–3% shift in efficiency, retention, or enterprise value returns this investment many times over. The real payoff is freedom — freedom from being the bottleneck, freedom to focus on what really matters, freedom to lead with confidence instead of constant firefighting.
