For over twenty-five years Phillip has worked with human beings using a value- based transformational approach to human development. This approach is facilitative in nature, drawing on life experiences, Tlingit values, counseling techniques and the unique perspective of having emerged victorious both from residential school and the correctional system.  It is based on the idea of creating healing opportunities that people may draw on their own resources to make healthy choices for themselves, their families and their communities. Phillip has applied this approach across North America, and Europe, in diverse settings with people of all ages, from all walks of life. Street people, Christian groups, gangs and Supreme Court judges have equally found great value in this vision-driven combination of universal truths and modern principles. The approach is profound in its inherent simplicity and powerful in its unfailing ability to transform the lives of those who choose to participate.
