Our history
Shift Happens started over lunch. No, really. Philip and Gillie sat down weekly to talk about the gaps in leadership development in an organization they both served in when they were in the USAF, and those weekly meetings turned into a friendship, a partnership, and a concept of leadership and organizational transformation that we've validated with multiple groups and partners. We decided that we had something to offer in service to others, and to continue how we'd served in uniform. So, we wrote a book, built more models, and built more of the skills - and now we're here to serve you.
Our mission
At Shift Happens, we are dedicated to unlocking your full potential. Our mission is to empower businesses by providing tailored solutions that drive growth and innovation.
