“During our time on earth, we will meet a handful of people who will work alongside us, helping us to bring real change- real improvement to our experience of life. Phil Richmond has been one of those people for me. Phil’s dedication to holding the ladder while we climb up into the light is real and backed up with knowledge and experience.

Phil has been instrumental in helping so many colleagues through our Vets4Vets@VINFoundation programs- and it is a joy to know that he will be able to provide the tools and support that will help so many more through his Flourishing Phoenix work.

Through direct one-on-one coaching, leading small groups, inspiring large group format presentations and unique outside-of-the-box team culture redirection, Phil’s Flourishing Phoenix group can return joy and energy to challenged veterinary

“The veterinary profession is a community of wonderful human beings struggling to find the sustainable fulfillment they deserve.  In Dr. Phil Richmond, they have an astute and compassionate ally walking alongside them in that worthy cause.

With his deep, evidence-based knowledge and genuine curiosity and kindness, Dr. Richmond brings a rare and balanced combination of character traits to the work he does.  This empowers him to teach and inspire in a way that makes him an exceptional speaker, invigorating any event.  As a consultant, Dr. Richmond is precisely the supportive partner any client would enjoy working with.  I’m in awe of the light he brings to our profession and honored to consider him a colleague.”

Phil is not only one of the most well-informed and experienced students of positive psychology I’ve had the privilege of meeting, but he is also a warm, charismatic, and deeply caring human being. Between his willingness to share his personal journey and growth, his thirst for knowledge about psychology, behavior, and wellness, and his genuine desire to see others succeed, talking with Phil gives you the feeling that you will never again have to face challenges alone. He can hand out quick tips that help turn your mindset around to salvage a difficult day, but he is also a terrific active listener with a knack for helping you get to the heart of what is really the matter. I consider Phil to be a tremendous gift in my life and in the veterinary field.
