About Phyllis

I am a lawyer by profession.

For years, people have come to me with legal problems.

My job was to help solve them. And often I did.

But the legal issue was rarely the whole story.

Different circumstances. Different people.

Yet many of the same dynamics kept appearing.

The same behavior, producing the same consequences.

The same patterns, repeating themselves over and over again.

It became obvious to me that people were trying to solve symptoms rather than causes.

That realization changed the way I work.

Today, I still advise on legal and strategic matters.

But the field of solution has expanded.

I have become increasingly interested in what creates the problem long before it becomes visible.

Because once that becomes clear, the legal issue often starts looking very different.

That is where the greatest leverage exists.

And where the most meaningful work happens.
