MBL is The New MBA!
“As a marketing leader managing an organization of 120+ employees, with a direct staff
of 12, the complexity and dynamics involved to ensure the entire organization is aligned
and energized to achieve the longer term vision is extremely difficult on your best days. It
is clear, neither I, nor the key members of my staff, would have obtained the
overwhelming success we achieved had it not been for Phil's leadership coaching and
support. Our organization laid out clear lofty goals and objectives designed to accelerate
the pipeline and achieve the company’s business goals. We over-achieved on all of them.
The Master of Business Leadership’s objective, focused, systematic approach to
leadership and emotional intelligence development has proven to consistently deliver
measurably better results quickly and was a key ingredient in our success. I would highly
recommend the MBL system to any executive or management team that has an urgent
need for better results.” December 27, 2009
Brian Bakstran, SVP Field Marketing at CA (Boston)
“… The Master of Business Leadership system and coaching platform has already helped
us close $500,000 in business with much more in the pipe.” October 15, 2006
Joanne Moretti, GM & SVP CA (Toronto)
“The Master of Business Leadership system has made a huge difference not only my
career but also in my life. It is literally eye-opening because while you might think it’s all
about managing/coaching/leading others, the core lessons are about YOU. Phil explains
how to find leadership within ourselves so we can inspire others to do the same. The best
investment you will ever make! Joanne” June 5, 2009

2. “Phil moves beyond ideas and strategies and emerges into an experiential journey that
will bring immediate results. The audio book and Phil’s coaching, provide tools and
insights that create fuel and motivation to focus on action and results to achieve our
vision. The MBL system made an immediate difference for me in becoming more self-
aware, positively impacting those around me, and focusing on actions resulting in doing
more with less effort and having more fun.” April 4, 2011
Karen Folliard, Director HR Hitachi Technologies America (Chicago)
“I have worked with Phil and his approach to leadership development captures and
address the elements of emotional leadership in a high impact way. I have read many
books on management and leadership and Phil's approach is unique, innovative, and a
true accelerator to leadership development.” June 26, 2010
Dayton Semerjian, Corporate SVP & GM, Mainframe Business Unit at CA (New York)
“Coaching with Phil to discover my authentic leadership has changed my life,
professionally and personally. Applying the principles of Servant Warrior Leadership
(SWL) and using the MBL toolbox of habits and insights in the workplace has taught me
to stay focused on getting results rather than just being liked. I use the SWL principles on
a daily basis with the people I coach, too. It makes being an inspirational leader so much
easier and so much more fun--not to mention, fulfilling! I've found the SWL concepts to
be very powerful in my personal life, as well, because they have given me greater
awareness through a focus on serving others.” March 8, 2010
The Servant Warrior Leader
"The Servant Warrior Leader" audio book offers leaders key concepts for claiming their
authenticity. I keep one in my car and one on my iPad and I listen to it often. What's
more, I've passed on several copies to friends and colleagues who have told me they truly
appreciate the insights shared with them. Most important, the MBL Servant Warrior
Leader concepts are actionable and I can attest that they work! May 13, 2011
Kim Kaminski, VP Global Marketing at Vision Solutions (Chicago)
“Phil has very personable manner about him that speaks to his sincerity, authenticity and
ability to really see the heart of the matter and the person. Having had the opportunity to
work with him at Mitsubishi when he was the Director of Sales, Semiconductor Division
and again, connecting with him for his coaching expertise while in my executive position
at Henry Schein, I was struck by his insight and 'walk the talk' natural state of being. He
has a phenomenal ability to gain your utmost attention and honesty - he is a 'real human
being' in all his interactions, quite automatically encouraging you to be 'authentic' and
adapt a leadership ability that is effective. Phil is type of coach every manager - middle
level to executive - needs to connect with and learn from. Organizations will greatly
benefit by adopting Phil's approach to managing people and forming strong leadership
that CAN be followed, and returns effective and successful results.” February 4, 2010

3. “I have had the pleasure of working with Phil as a business coach for several years. Phil's
Master of Business Leadership system and his unique approach to achieving superior
results go far beyond the normal parameters and limitations of traditional leadership
coaching. Phil enlightens and ignites one's sense of what it means to empower, inspire
and energize yourself and those around you. He effectively bundles up powerful insights
and highly effective leadership tools that unlock a deeper layer of consciousness around
the dynamics of people, teams and success. Phil Johnson is truly a gifted individual who
has a very clear sense of his life mission and service to others, and he brings this
unwavering focus to his coaching and life relationships in a profoundly powerful way.”

“… If Abraham Lincoln were alive today be would be trumpeting this book and the
Master of Business Leadership system. Many of the tools and insights that he discovered
and used during the course of his life are very consistent with what’s offered in this
system.”
Jeff Hayward, VP Marketing - Europe, Middle East & Africa (EMEA) at CA
“MBL philosophy: better results, less effort, more fun. Sounds great but does it work?
Absolutely! I would definitely recommend the Master of Business Leadership system to
anyone who wants to release the true leader that lies within them. Phil’s coaching
sessions on the MBL authentic leadership habits and insights is some of the most
rewarding “training” I’ve experienced. Phil has the ability to put things into perspective
in a simple way to move you in a positive direction. Actions and Results. That’s all it is.
Phil also coached other members of the strategic planning team resulting in improved
department achievements as well as creating a more positive team dynamics. In a
nutshell; I’ve been on a journey of business and life improvement for some time without
achieving my desired results. Phil has been able to connect the dots for me in a in a way
no one else has. For this reason I am grateful for meeting Phil and the MBL system. I
look forward to continuing my MBL journey.” January 7, 2010
Ken Gans Manager, IT Strategic Planning Hitachi Technologies America (Chicago)
“I just recently completed a series of Master of Business Leadership coaching sessions
with Phil -- which I found to be very stimulating, insightful, and practical. I was able to
put into practice -- immediately -- the concepts, philosophies that we discussed and have
been able to perceive and react to situations in a more positive and less reactive manner. I
found these sessions to be so valuable that I have contracted with Phil for coaching
sessions for several of my direct reports. Highly recommended!!!!” September 23, 2009
Debra Cattani, VP Product Marketing Support at CA (New York)
“I can't say enough about the impact that the MBL system has had not only on my
professional life, but my personal life as well. I thought I was going to work with Phil to
become a better Manager but I immediately realized that it wasn't about management at
all, it was truly about developing my authentic leadership and emotional intelligence.
