From the floor to the front
Meet Mike Phillips
I’m Mike Phillips—speaker, coach, podcast host, business leader, husband, dad, and relentless believer in the power of leadership from the front.
Over the last two decades, I’ve led sales teams, built training systems, coached underdog athletes, and developed leaders across industries. I’m the founder of Lead The Team, host of The Leadership Toolkit Podcast, and an executive in the automotive world.
My first lessons in leadership weren’t in a boardroom—they were on a roller hockey rink, coaching a group of scrappy teens who just needed a shot. I learned that leadership isn’t about control; it’s about belief. Cast a clear vision and walk it out with conviction, and people will follow—even when the odds say they shouldn’t.
In 2021, I faced my greatest challenge: COVID left me hospitalized, fighting for my life with both lungs collapsed. What followed was a miracle recovery and a deeper calling—to help others live boldly, lead intentionally, and take action before the crisis ever comes.
I’ve been married to my amazing wife Brooke for 19 years. We’re raising three incredible kids—Colin, Carter, and Emersyn—in Colorado Springs. When I’m not speaking or coaching, you’ll find me behind the mic, at the dealership, or cheering from the sidelines with a Bible in one hand and a green Sharpie in the other.
