Transition · Relationship · Purpose
With yourself. With your team. With your organization. With the people you love. I help people stay connected — to themselves, to each other, and to what matters most — while everything is changing.
"You don't need a new life. You need new language for the life you're in."
— Phillip Marcus Jr., UR.humanIf you lead
You're carrying a team through more change than anyone planned for.
If you're in it
A role, a season, or a relationship you count on is being asked to become something new.
If it's at home
The people closest to you are meeting a version of you that's still forming.
Most change management hands you project plans and milestones. Almost none of it names what's actually hard: every transition asks a relationship to become something new — with yourself, your team, your organization, the people you love.
Phillip Marcus Jr. works in that space. Through coaching, team engagements, and workshops, he helps people stay connected — to themselves, to each other, and to what matters most — while everything is changing.

On staying connected
"We don't struggle with change. We struggle with who we must become in relationship to it — and with staying connected to ourselves, to each other, and to what matters most while everything is changing."
— Phillip Marcus Jr., UR.human
Phillip Marcus Jr. grew up in the Bronx, the child of immigrants from Antigua and Guyana, in a household where achievement was moral obligation — and where asking too many questions about whether any of it made you happy was a kind of ingratitude. He learned early how to be excellent without being seen, and how to carry the weight of others' expectations without letting anyone see the effort.
That formation is the foundation of his work. He has lived the legitimacy problem. He navigated predominantly white professional spaces as a Black founder and leader. He built a coaching practice from scratch after leaving the security of institutional roles. He knows, from the inside, what it costs to perform a version of yourself that isn't fully yours.
He is ORSC-trained through CRR Global, a Hunter College 40 Under 40 honoree, and the founder of UR.human — a brand and coaching practice dedicated to making personal and organizational development accessible, equitable, and real. He has worked with leaders across education, nonprofit, financial services, and social impact sectors.
His central conviction: you don't need a new life. You need new language for the life you're in. That language exists. It is learnable. And when you have it, everything — your decisions, your relationships, your leadership, your legacy — becomes clearer.
How do you stay connected to what matters most —
