Executive Profile

George Phirippidis CEO, Kerr Hill, Inc.

Company: Kerr Hill, Inc.

Year company was founded: 1990

Bishop Ranch Location: BR11 2303 Camino Ramon #134

Business type:ProfessionalDevelopmentServices& Business Consulting

Business approach: Relational versus transactional, meaning we focus on building long-term relationships. We are in the business of helping people develop personally and professionally. This is not possible if our approach is transactional and short-term focused.

Biggest challenge: Conveying the results and positive experiences our existing clients realize with our programs when working with new clients.

Favorite tasks: Meeting with clients to understand their development needs, organizing and presenting client solutions, facilitating classroom training and 1x1 coaching.

Least favorite tasks: Accounting and bookkeeping.

Source of inspiration: “Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill. This wasthefirstsuccess-basedbookIread30yearsago,anditinspiredme to apply the success methods of Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, Andrew Carnegie and others into my life.

Sincethen,Ihavehadanongoinginterestinpersonalandprofessionaldevelopment. Having read many books and having applied many success-based practices, I have realized what proven methodologies can do for you. My career path led me to Kerr Hill, where I have been able to help many people take success to the next level.

Best way to motivate staff: Ask what motivates and de-motivates them, listen to what they want and need to succeed in their role and then act on it. Fuel their motivators, eliminate or reduce their de-motivators. Be available to have dialogue and coach them. Hold them accountable to the goals they set.

Suggestions for young executives: Balance your leadership development with getting business executed. A driving, bottom line focused leader will get results, but at a potential cost to people on their team or in the organization. You can better leverage your success by being aware of your leadership strengths and weaknesses. Beyond awareness, work on changing aspects of your skill sets that will enhance your results. People in your organization (outside of your client base) are the most important asset you have. Develop yourself and your teams and you will experience a greater level of gratifying success.

A goal you still want to achieve: Taking Kerr Hill intellectual property (i.e. our tools, training programs and professional development processes) and making them available to people worldwide.

Favorite pastime: I have a variety - tennis, cycling, weightlifting, running, classic cars (owning, driving and showing), playing drums with my band, cooking, socializing with friends and family.

Favorite stressbuster: A great workout

Favorite vacation spot:TheislandofSantoriniintheGreekislands

Favorite music:Rock,R&B,Blues,Jazz

Favorite East Bay restaurant: Patrick David’s

Favorite cause: Fighting cancer
