Al Killeen, Personal Mastery Coach

To Whom It May Concern:

I have chosen to endorse Phil Gilliam as a commitment to supporting individuals who are, in turn, committed to making a difference in the world as an expression of their Personal Life Values and Vision.

Phil, in my experience, is one of those rare individuals. One of the reasons Phil deserves endorsements from people is his ability to provide leadership to others in taking bold action in their lives to overcome perceived limitations.

Phil was a very successful businessman in his previous careers, but has chosen to "bet on his own horse" with his current business that he started as an expressed commitment to forward his Personal Life Vision into the world on behalf of others, and I find that both rare and inspirational in a world that is too-often concerned with settling for mere "warm, safe and dry" lifestyles, and settling for merely "just not being dead" rather than being fully alive.

Phil is committed to being fully alive, and to helping others be so as well.

In that there is greatness.

Sincerely,
Al Killeen

To whom it may concern;

If I were more dramatic I could say that Phil saved my life. I was in the winds of the perfect storm; divorcing, unemployed and a struggling single dad when I met Phil. My self pity and anger were the only things fighting for my attention. In our first discussion Phil pointed out what a half dozen sessions of therapy had not. I was able to bootstrap immediately and get started with the healing process.

Phil was/is no-nonsense about my need to shed thought processes and lazy emotional habits. The healing started immediately on the low Saturday I called him. Phil helped me understand thoughts and patterns, gave me tools to understand my worth and methods to deal with what seemed like an unfair life. I could feel myself pulling out of the dive and eventually wondering why I still would need to talk with someone weekly. That was my indication that I'd graduated, with his help, from an amazing process that I'd once held in contempt.

I've recommended Phil to anyone who would hear including my legal team who work with people like me every day. I'd give him my highest personal and professional recommendation to whomever reads this.

Best regards,
Bob

Brett Z, Founder - Brotherhood of Extraordinary Men (BE Men)

AverageGuy

Over the course of the last year, I have had the privilege of engaging, learning from, and working with Phil Gilliam. Based on my desires for self-growth, I asked for personal coaching from Phil during the last 6 months. Through Phil's guidance, I am pleased with the results of increased self-awareness, separation of personal anxieties, a reduction of self-doubt, and growth of inner confidence and strength.

My personal belief is..."For every man who is healthier there is at least one woman who is safer." AverageGuy's program taking men on a journey of understanding themselves first, then utilizing that understanding to treat women with respect as equals vs. disrespect and/or tools for self-gratification is something I believe is essential to breaking down the current polarities existing between men and women both romantically and socially.

During our time together, I have been working on a project entitled Be Men (The Brotherhood of Extraordinary Men) a non-profit organization and foundation focused on male wellness with the goal of divorce prevention here in the United States. Based on a keen awareness of inner male trauma leading to external manifestations via dysfunctional and/or destructive behaviors, I have concluded that men of all walks of life (married or single, young or old) can benefit from Average Guy's methodology. I would not hesitate to recommend the program to any of the men entering or involved in our organization.

From Senior Airman in the Air Force in his late teens, to the CEO of a financial services firm in his mid twenties, to a top tier sales professional at the fifth largest financial institution in the country, Phil knows success.  The common thread in each of these, and most of his endeavors, is leadership.

As a former employee of Phil’s at the financial services firm, he exuded a compassion that went beyond leadership.  He coached others to success.  Part gift, but mostly the result of a ton of hard work, he is a visionary who sees those far reaching goals and lays the foundation to obtain those goals.  I would strongly encourage candidates to allow Phil and his team to be the architect of the foundation to achieve their goals.  He is relentless, encouraging, and the ultimate confidence builder.  Phil played a key role in my early development and helped me rise quickly in the corporate world.  He is the average guy who will help you get further, both personally and professionally.

Phil Gilliam's coaching

When I was having troubles with my relationship with my wife of 2 years, I let that bleed over to my professional life and from there my whole entire life was a disaster. After months of being in a downward spiral, I completely forgot where the starting point of my despair originated. Phil Gilliam took me back to what the root of my problems were with my life and taught me to cope but better yet he helped me to have a more fulfilled relationship with my wife and thus translated into a successful life.

This was very difficult for me to speak to someone about my problems since I have always been taught to not show or even talk about that side of me. His ability to make an environment that it was safe to discuss my short comings and strong points was shocking. What followed was what my wife likes to call my transformation. The "bad" times were not all my doing but I became educated to better handle the negative way we used to communicate and treat each other. The tools I learned I still use today and I will for the rest of my life.

With Phil's coaching I have become a better man. My approach to life is completely different and my choices in life no longer take me down the wrong path with my marriage and the byproduct helped me have a more successful professional life. I am far more confident in my everyday life because I know I'm the "better deal" as he likes to put it.

I would recommend Phil to coach anyone that needs help with women. His vast knowledge blew me away and I still to this day have coaching schedules monthly if not more and it has been 4+ years and counting.

My wife assuredly loves what I have improved to and we are about to celebrate our 7th year of marriage. Without my coaching, I would have assuredly been divorced and never had the two wonderful kids that I have now.

I hardly recognize myself after a few months of practicing what I've learned. I got a very honest, objective assessment of where I was and tools and a plan to get where I want to be. They helped me see how a lack of confidence negatively affects every aspect of my life and, quite frankly, made me miserable. This was the easy part. More importantly I learned how to make real changes and was held accountable for the commitments I made to create those changes in my life. Who knew there was a confident, dynamic, happy guy in that shell that used to be me?

John W.

Over the course of the past year, I was divorced and then lost my job. It was at these low points in my life that I began working with Phil. In a few short months of Phil's coaching, I rediscovered the energy and motivation to make small yet profound changes in my personal and professional life. My confidence in many areas of my life has been restored - I know that I can tackle the new challenges that are coming in this next phase of my life. For any guy who has lost his touch or suffered some humbling mis-steps, I wholeheartedly recommend investing in yourself and in working with Phil. You'll be amazed at the changes you'll see in a short period of time.

To Whom It May Concern;

This letter is to express my endorsement for the services of Phil Gilliam and AverageGuy.com. I first encountered this team over seven months ago, during a time in my life where things were just getting dull. The women that I was dating really weren't bringing very much into my life, and encounters with new women were fairly few and far between. My confidence was obviously very low, and I really didn't know very much about how to find the girl of my dreams, or how to keep her once I found her.

I assume that most men who are considering enrolling in this coaching program are primarily interested in encountering and keeping exceptional women in their lives. But even if that is not your primary focus, say you are already in a committed and satisfying relationship, or are primarily interested in how to round yourself out to eventually attract the best possible mate, this program is for you. Just like shaving in the morning and being sure to look your best, spending time and money to improve other aspects of yourself and your life is a no-brainer. The purest form of selfishness.

I find myself now, seven months in, in a committed and satisfying relationship. I understand my woman (most of the time) and have a good grasp of what her needs are, and constantly reassure her that I am capable of satisfying them. I understand myself, what strengths I have, and emphasize those every day. If it were not for Phil and this program, I would still be confused, unsure of myself, and dating loser women. Enrolling in this program is a no-brainer, why wouldn't you? It is money well spent...on yourself!

I will start this with a sincere "thank you" to Phil. I've only had 3 sessions with him over the past 3 weeks and I already see a big difference. As much as I don't like some of the esoteric terms that bounce around these days, I can't think of a better way to describe where I was before working with him than "I was in a dark place." The business I've been working for 2 years to get off the ground has consumed most of my time, energy and savings, I am looking at the possibility of losing my house and from a financial and career perspective I may very well have to start over completely. It was very hard for me to drag myself out of bed in the morning, yet at night I couldn't sleep or even lie down and relax because my head was spinning so fast. I constantly felt panicky (complete with shortness of breath and rapid heart beat) and like a failure. I couldn't see anything but the bad and it feels awful to admit this, but it was difficult to think of more than a couple of reasons life was worth living. I thought I was going to lose it completely and felt physically ill. It was at that point when the bad feelings and fear of what could happen or what I might do finally overcame my ego and unwillingness to ask for help.

I worked with Phil in the banking industry a couple of years ago. He was my manager and one that had a big impact on my success. One thing about Phil is that he always guided you to solve your own problems, therefore helping you grow professionally. His insight was always well received and he was very respected by his subordinates with his knowledge, enthusiasm and insights that were many times the "outside of the box kind of thinking" one would hope for in a good leader.

For me he was not only a good leader but also one of the best "coaches" I've experienced

To Whom It May Concern:

Over the span of a career, infrequently do we have the pleasure of working with truly talented individuals; those with leadership, integrity and the willingness to help others be the best they can be.

Phil Gilliam is one of those unique people.
