Phillip Van Hooser

President, Van Hooser Associates, Inc.

My passion and mission is helping organizations "cultivate great leaders who create competitive advantage." In the process, I help people realize and develop their potential to be a great leader. I believe that leadership is not about position, title or rank. Leadership is the ability to offer service and the willingness to take action. That's something anyone at any organizational level can do! As an entrepreneur and business owner myself, I understand the complexities of building and sustaining a profitable enterprise. Since 1988, I have successfully developed and marketed customized keynote presentations, in-depth training initiatives, professional consultations and products on leadership development. The opportunities to work with executives, managers and front-line employees of U.S. and international corporations has given me a bird's eye view of the leadership development strategies that work in business today. Additionally, I am: -- Founder & Concept Director at Leaders Ought To Know™, a comprehensive leadership development initiative -- Author of "We Need to Talk: Building Trust When Communicating Gets Critical" -- Author of "Willie's Way: 6 Secrets for Wooing, Wowing and Winning Customers and Their Loyalty."
