With over 20 years of experience in the video gaming industry, primarily in leadership roles, I've managed multicultural teams, fostering a diverse and inclusive environment.

Like any journey, mine has had its share of challenges, including imposter syndrome, redundancy and burnout. But these experiences have only strengthened my determination and deepened my understanding of the struggles others may face.
This journey has also led me and my family to move from Paris, France, to Brighton, UK, marking a significant life and career change!

Today, I share my insights on overcoming self-doubt and reclaiming empowerment at various conventions. In addition to public speaking and team workshops, I offer one-on-one coaching sessions in a supportive, empowering, and non-judgemental environment.

I live in Brighton and, when I'm not coaching, you can find me training for running events, chasing after my two mischievous dogs, or playing detective to figure out what my teenagers are up to (hey, no one's perfect, right?).

Phil Ledgerwood’s resumé looks like seven other people’s resumés stitched together. He has baked bagels, guarded Clint Black’s town home, cooked for a gourmet food shop, freed stuck college students from elevators, managed printing plates for packaging, and served as a linguist in the Air Force. He taught himself HTML when the Netscape browser was still a thing, and the rest is history.

Phil is a twenty-year veteran of the software development industry in the Kansas City area. If you’re in the Kansas City area, he is two degrees of separation away from any programmer you know and has probably worked for, at, or with your company.

When the agile movement hit town, Phil knew a good thing when he saw it and became an early adopter of first wave agile practices. He has used these practices to ideate, build, and complete software projects ranging from loan forecasting to routing irrigation trucks to managing pharmacies to predictive lead generation to selling teddy bears. When people ask what vertical his company serves, he says, “Yours.”

Phil has incorporated Lean methodologies into software development just like his father used to do in manufacturing. When he partnered with Travis Dietz to start Integrity Inspired Solutions in 2012, they laid the foundation in Lean to make the custom software development enterprise more humane, predictable, and focused on the success of everyone involved.

A regular speaker at developer, Lean, and Agile conferences, Phil has a passion for taking his company’s ways to other companies whether they create software or not. He loves to see them transform from a collection of interactions riddled with disappointments and broken promises to team-oriented relational companies enjoying newfound trust, joy, efficiency, and success. Several companies from all over the world in all different industries contract Phil to help coach them through their own journeys. He also hosts the successful "Agile Bites" podcast.

When he’s not helping project managers learn predictive metrics or helping developers write customer-focused features, he’s enjoying a wide array of highly geeky hobbies including fantasy and sci-fi novels, gaming, and teaching Filipino stick fighting. His main hobby is making the world a better place for everyone who has to share the planet with him, and the engine for that is love.

For decades, I worked in clinical and administrative roles in mental health, eating disorders, and substance abuse, serving children, teens, families, and adults through individual sessions, group work, and community initiatives.

2019 was a transformative year for me. I founded the Knoxville Happiness Coalition, hosting meetings until March 2020, when the pandemic halted in-person gatherings. Our events featured speakers from diverse backgrounds who had discovered happiness. This inspired me to study happiness and positive psychology, earning a certification from the Fellowship's premier masterclass on organizational culture and completing a leadership and management certification through Wharton Online.

In 2019, I began teaching at the University of Tennessee’s Center for Professional Education & Lifelong Learning. That same year, I joined the World Happiness Fest, planning an event for March 2020 to promote cross-cultural happiness. Around this time, I lost my role as a program coordinator due to layoffs. I created my first online course in 2019, and joined LearnFormula 2021. Since then, I’ve developed 20 courses on leadership, communication, workforce skills, mental health, and organizational transformation.

In 2019, I also joined the Knoxville Association of Women Executives (KAWE), quickly accepting a board position. I became president in 2022 and led initiatives such as awarding scholarships to college students, recognizing women leaders with the Notable Woman Award, composing press releases, and managing marketing campaigns on social media. I supported board transitions in 2023 to ensure continued success with community projects and leadership development.

In 2020, I joined the board of the Oak Ridge Human Resources Association (ORHRA), leading programs to advance local HR initiatives. By 2022, I helped form the Oak Ridge Human Resources Alliance as ORHRA merged with the Oak Ridge Chamber. I continued as an advisor since 2023, to shape HR policies benefiting the community.

My vision for community improvement expanded through Life Betterment Through God, an initiative offering culture and leadership training for ministry leaders. Over the past five years, I’ve written extensively, podcasted, and launched a newsletter, Life Skills for Leadership, featuring three columns and a library of 800+ resources for organizations and ministries. My mission is to transform communities one person, church, and organization at a time.

My book, The Future of Work is Human and The Future of Success is Happiness, helps professionals develop positive psychological capital in the work setting.

My signature V.A.L.U.E.S. Model—Vision, Action, Leadership, Unity, Engagement, Synthesis—based on empirically proven Positive Psychology practices expands organizational capacity. At the heart of my approach is storytelling, a powerful catalyst for organizational development and transformative advocacy.

🍞 My bread and butter is designing a sustainable and healthy company culture, where people can strive for their best. The rest will follow.

🧠 Over the past decade, I’ve had the privilege of working with both startups and enterprises, helping to bring digital products and services to life. My diverse roles have included Marketing Manager, Startup Founder, Product Manager, Agile Coach, Lecturer, Trainer, and Consultant, co-host of the Agile Book Club podcast, co-organizer of the ACE Conference, among others.

🤓 These experiences have enriched my empathy and provided a systemic approach to working across various organizations and business domains. I’ve come to understand that every product or service we create begins and ends with people.

💃 My passion lies in studying human behavior and finding holistic methods to help companies build environments where everyone can thrive. In my work, I integrate all of my passions. I blend domain knowledge and diverse work experiences with neuroscience, principles of accelerated learning, coaching practices, facilitation skills, burnout prevention strategies, and sports and movement expertise. Ensuring employee well-being is not just a luxury—it’s essential for creating outstanding products and driving business success.

💭 If you had told me 20 years ago that by the age of 30, I would write three books, earn an Executive MBA, work across continents, organize international conferences, host a podcast, and seize incredible learning opportunities, I wouldn’t have believed it. But it all happened because I:

- Dared to leave places where I wasn’t happy
- Learned that failure is part of the journey
- Recognized when to stop after hitting the glass ceiling
- Found joy in my work
- Overcame the fear of trying
- Committed to continuous learning and improvement

Currently:
🌞by day: I am working as a Product Coach & Manager
🌟 by night: I'm dedicated to creating scalable and accessible solutions for individuals and organizations to overcome burnout

Sou movido pelo desafio de transformar o impossível em estratégia, de conectar inovação com impacto real e de preparar líderes para um futuro que já começou. Ao longo de mais de 30 anos de experiência em tecnologia, transformação digital e inovação organizacional, minha missão tem sido clara: ajudar empresas e conselhos a saírem da inércia e a se tornarem protagonistas da mudança.

Minha formação acadêmica reflete essa jornada de inquietação e aprendizado contínuo. Sou PhD pela Universidade de Berkeley e Mestre pela USP, com especializações em estratégia empresarial e inovação organizacional. Mas, mais do que diplomas, o que me move são os desafios do mundo real—e a necessidade de soluções que realmente funcionam.

Atuo como conselheiro consultivo, mentor de líderes e estrategista em transformação digital, ajudando empresas a equilibrarem eficiência e disrupção, preparando-se para um mercado onde apenas os ambidestros organizacionais sobreviverão. Sou autor de livros como "Conselho Consultivo 4.0" e "O Jogo da Sobrevivência Organizacional", onde compartilho frameworks e metodologias para que empresas não apenas inovem, mas façam isso de forma sustentável e estratégica.

Acredito que a inovação não é um evento isolado, mas uma mentalidade sistêmica. Empresas que insistem em operar como dinossauros não percebem que o meteoro da disrupção já caiu. Minha missão é ajudar CEOs, conselhos e líderes a não apenas enxergarem essa realidade, mas a liderarem a transformação.
