I actually thought Philip's travel agency spiel was interesting. He's a spy, and he knows (or should!) how to read people and connect with them. And given that the US economy as a whole is in an expansionary phase, it's perfect timing for him to want to motivate his staff to sell more travel packages and find ways to get more money from customers.
And I don't get the vibe that he's ever been a bad boss - but his employees clearly are pretty diffident types for the sales and travel world. I wonder if he originally hired people who he knew wouldn't ask a lot of questions about his comings and goings and it's biting him as he tries to get the money rolling in.
So hopefully motivational!Philip gets some extra $$ coming in. :)
(Aside: I did wonder if he was manufacturing that financial problem for extra realism with the school, but it is indeed equally likely he'd rather not have the Centre subsidizing Henry's education.)
