Meet Dr. Phillip Squire, CEO of Consalia Sales Business School and our Board Chair Person.

Dr Squire has provided sales consultancy and training for enterprise companies for over 15 years as CEO of Consalia. He has also delivered and project-managed sales training and sales leadership programmes for many major global brands. 

Phil worked with Hewlett Packard's EMEA large deal pursuit team to create a new approach to selling based on his doctoral research programme. The resultant Winning Value Proposition programme has been a key part of HP's extraordinary success between 2006 and 2009 in winning large outsourcing deals.

This formed the basis of his doctoral research programme into 'how customers want to be sold to' in 2009. As a consequence, he created a strategic relationship with Middlesex University that has led to the design of the world's first in-house Executive Masters Programmes in Leading Sales Transformation for sales leaders and Sales Transformation for those selling complex solutions.

ESG has two important things in common:  PEOPLE and CHANGE.

People have not been taught how to manage personal change for themselves nor others.  There has not been a Personal Change Management process taught in schools, universities, churches, communities, or even in our working societies.  To impact our Environment we must change.  To impact our societies we must change. To create and enforce governance we must change.  But how?

People within Social and  SOCIETY at large must learn how to manage personal change for themselves if they are to impact change for others.  This is a critical and cognitive skillset that we must teach, champion, and embed within all communities.   People must learn to manage change if they are to impact and sustain change.

We urge all organisations and societies to implement Personal Change Management into the Social aspect of ESG.   Doing this gives us a greater opportunity to foster change once we understand how to manage it for ourselves.
