“Philippa has been an invaluable guide in my journey as a first-time business owner”
Philippa’s expertise and genuine approach gave me the clarity and confidence I needed to build my business from the ground up.
She took the time to understand my vision and helped me lay a strong foundation, saving me from potential missteps along the way.
Philippa is one of a kind - an absolute gem! She’s easy to connect with, authentic, true to her values, and always eager to help in any way she can.
I’m beyond grateful to have her as a mentor and friend - I can’t recommend her highly enough!
— Ana Cocherel, Founder Virtual Nova
“Philippa is someone I’d like in the trenches with me because I’d be totally confident we’d win”
Philippa Middleton’s energy is the first thing you notice and the last thing you feel when you spend time with her – its limitless. Her ability to see the big picture but recognise that the smallest detail can be critical ensures whatever your request for help is, large or small it gets handled with, solely, the outcome of success for you in mind.
Philippa has run her own very successful businesses, managed them through the highs and lows and has empathy with every kind of work problem you might come across. Her wit, strength of character and ability to also make what can often be tedious, fun makes her a great asset to any project.
— Catriona Williams MNZM, Founder The Catwalk Sci Trust
“Philippa would be an asset to any business”
I engaged Philippa to help me launch a cooking and corporate experiences brand – Social Cooking – that went on to become an extremely profitable enterprise.
I sold it in 2019. Philippa’s operational advice was really effective for me as it was a start-up.
Her marketing, pricing and tactical approaches and advice is still considered by us as the difference between success and failure.
Absolutely brilliant. It’s not often you get an entrepreneur that has broad experience in all key aspects.
— Graham Bloxham, Founder & CEO of Social Cooking, Wellington Billboard Company and Wellington Live
“I'm very grateful that she understands not only my mission and industry but also the personal challenges I face in staying on track to achieve my goals”
My business offers a niche service and has many quirks, which means it was difficult to find the right person to mentor and provide accurate and relevant guidance. That was until I reignited my connection with Philippa Middleton.
Our paths crossed back in 2004, and I always admired her business approach. Some twenty years later, we discussed her guiding me through some tricky spots, and it was a great decision.
When you are so deep in the business that you can't see the trees for the forest, clearing the path to its greater potential requires an intelligent and savvy advisor, and I found that in Philippa.
— Ruth Nicholson, Managing Director NZ Laser Training Institute
“Philippa is a woman on a mission - she has ideas and energy to burn when it comes to creating successful businesses”
I have worked with her on various projects and with several clients. It’s a revelation to watch and witness her identify where strategy, marketing and culture needs to be and then implement the plan to achieve success.
One of her other greatest strengths is seeing the big picture through her marketing lens. This is how she’s been able to turn around businesses and earn international awards for her achievements.

“Philippa is a strong assertive clever business woman with a kind heart!”
I’ve been lucky enough to be her partner in business for many years and through that a time I have witnessed her drive our business to successes like it has never seen before then she did it again during a global pandemic!

“Philippa is so relatable, non-judgemental, inspirational and a heap of fun”
Philippa has always been a great sounding board to bounce ideas off and she always has a solution to any problem.
We consulted her back in 2013 when we were about to open our first Gym. Her advice is excellent, and she can definitely keep you on track towards those goals whether they are personal or professional.
I love the fact I can call Philippa anytime and I know she will have the answer to my question regardless of what it is!
— Mish Mccormak, Co-Founder & CEO Health Fit Collective
“She’s a very rare talent”
I have known Philippa on a business and social basis for close to 20 years. As the owner of a couple of hair and beauty salons, Is Bliss and Buoy, Philippa excelled to be one the very top business operators in NZ.
She’s highly respected by her staff, suppliers and most importantly her customers.
Personally, Philippa mentored me in my fashion business in many areas. She grasps very quickly any issues and most importantly provided insightful solutions.

She’s not afraid to have the difficult conversations, Philippa applies her astute business brain at a high level and delivers solutions that are common-sense and effective.
I have known her for 27 years both personally and professionally. Her dynamism and fearless approach was evident when she consulted to a well-known Wellington Hair Salon and transformed it from a sinking ship to a buoyant, highly profitable going concern.
Personally, Philippa is a dedicated mum who is kind and generous to her family, friends and staff. That is what makes her a Culture Queen in my book.

“We’re now doing great as a business and can’t thank Philippa enough for helping us turn things around”
During COVID-19, Stronghold was on the brink of closing—we had mounting debt and no clear way out. Our accountant advised us to shut our doors, but then Philippa was recommended to us.
From our first meeting, she was approachable, insightful, and solution-focused. She quickly analysed our financials, identified key areas to address, and offered practical, straightforward advice that made immediate sense.
With her guidance, we approached the IRD for assistance and started implementing her ideas. Philippa’s encouragement and support gave us hope and the confidence to move forward.
Nine months later, we’re in a much stronger position, and I’m so grateful for her expertise and ongoing interest in our progress.
— Helen Duckworth, Owner & Managing Director Stronghold Inc
“Philippa’s approach is not just about business strategies—it’s also about empowering you to see your potential and take bold steps forward.”
Working with Philippa has been an incredibly rewarding experience. From the very first conversation, I was impressed by her ability to understand my business, offer insightful strategies, and provide practical guidance tailored to my goals. Her expertise and professionalism shine through in every interaction, and she’s truly helped me navigate some key decisions with clarity and confidence.
Her encouragement, support, and deep knowledge have been invaluable to me, and I always leave our sessions feeling motivated and ready to tackle the next challenge.
I’ve found her to be a coach who genuinely cares about my success, and I feel fortunate to have her by my side as I continue to grow my business. I highly recommend Philippa to anyone looking for a thoughtful, experienced coach who will help you unlock your full potential.
