Nice to Meet You!

Hello!!

Thank you for visiting my page.

I’m Kathryn Phillips, and my work lives at the intersection of character, courage, and choice.

Through my signature framework, The Anatomy of a Good Choice™,

I help business leaders and emerging professionals recognize and navigate ethical issues where the right choice is not always obvious, comfortable, or consequence-free.

The framework moves audiences through five actions:

Recognize. Discern. Steward. Act with Courage. Own.

As a professor, mentor, keynote speaker, and writer, I bring more than two decades of experience across business, leadership, entrepreneurship, consulting, and higher education.

But my understanding of ethical choice began long before any degree, classroom, or stage.

At a young age, I learned that some of the hardest choices ask us to decide what we are willing to accept, what we are responsible for changing, and what we refuse to carry forward.

Confronting my father at age 11 and then later pressing charges as a young adult were some of the most difficult decisions I have ever made in my life.

The choice to take action became the catalyst for my life’s work: to live and teach ethical decision-making.

Through professional and personal storytelling, I help audiences understand that the ethical choice is not always the choice that feels good.

It is the choice we can thoughtfully defend, take responsibility for, and sleep well at night afterwards.
