Leadership Consultant Headlines Chamber’s Bold New Programming Push

FLAGLER COUNTY, Fla. – The Palm Coast-Flagler Regional Chamber of Commerce is on fire with fresh energy and vision under the leadership of new President John Phillips. Since stepping into the role earlier this spring, Phillips has been reshaping the Chamber’s presence with a dynamic mix of media, events, and professional development — all aimed at empowering the local business community like never before.

From rebranding the Business Report radio show on WNZF to The Chamber Business Report, featuring influential voices from across the region, to curating vibrant ribbon cuttings, after-hours networking socials, and high-impact workshops, Phillips is proving that the Chamber isn’t just keeping pace — it’s leading the charge.

“Every time our members walk into a Chamber event or tune into our broadcasts, I want them to feel energized, informed, and connected,” said Phillips. “We’re trying to grow our brand, while building a culture of momentum and collaboration that lifts the entire business ecosystem.”

One of the latest highlights? The Chamber’s Chamber 101 & Speed Networking event, held Friday, July 18 at Daytona State College’s Palm Coast Campus. This fast-paced, information-packed gathering welcomed local professionals to deepen their Chamber engagement, forge new connections, and — in a powerful finale — sharpen their leadership skills with a special session led by nationally recognized consultant Dr. Joe Saviak.

“Being an effective leader is crucial to sustained success in business,” said Dr. Saviak, who’s also an executive, professor, attorney, and author. “Your employees and customers want the right leadership from you. This class was designed to give attendees practical, proven strategies they can implement immediately to boost their organization’s performance.”

Dr. Saviak praised the caliber of participants at the event, noting, “I was especially impressed with the leaders who attended this event. They were engaged, insightful, and committed to growth. I very much commend John Phillips and the Chamber of Commerce for offering this kind of valuable, real-world education.”

Attendees left the event not only with new business cards in hand, but with sharpened tools for leadership and a deeper appreciation for the Chamber’s role in shaping the region’s professional landscape.

“This is exactly what we’re here to do,” said Phillips. “Equip, connect, and energize our members — so that together, we’re growing a stronger, smarter business community.”

The Chamber will host the upcoming Palm Coast Flagler Regional Chamber of Commerce Legislative Update at the Hammock Dunes Club on August 7 featuring Florida Senator Tom Leek and Florida Representative Sam Greco.
