Don Phin is a California employment law attorney who left his litigation practice more than twenty years ago to consult with companies on improving their employment practices. Since then, he has worked with hundreds of organizations, helping leaders strengthen compliance, leadership, and employee relations. Why you should listen Don has delivered over 600 in-person presentations to CEOs, HR professionals, and senior executives on what works in leadership and employee relations.

He now lives in sunny Coronado, California, bringing both legal expertise and real-life perspective to his work.
