Here's what it's like to work with Matt:

"Matt is a very experienced coach and he helped me shape the goal, path and the evaluation points of my program. During each of the regular meetings, we focused our conversation on a specific leadership training topic including (1) engaging in discussion with senior managers, study team, project lead and other stake holder, (2) persuading audience in team meeting and project discussion (3) casual conversations with people from different functions."

"My time with Matt guided me towards my personal North Star and became a powerful inflection point in my career. As I embark on a new and excited chapter in my career, I am thankful for the role that Matt’s coaching played in my personal development."

Jason Z.

"Matt has helped me through various situations, such as difficult working relationships, organizational restructuring efforts, and workload balance challenges. Working with him has taught me a process of evaluating a situation objectively, brainstorming all potential solutions, and determining best next steps and ways to respond. Matt was always readily available to me, completely trustworthy, never judgmental, and I found the time we spent in our meetings always beneficial."

Carrie Beth C.

"Working with Matt was my first executive coaching experience. I was a bit nervous on what to expect and unsure what benefit I could expect from the experience. Within one meeting with Matt I was put at ease and quickly learned how the questions he proposed helped me to analyze a situation from a new perspective without the inclusion of any pre-formulated perceptions...This helped me be more objective with myself to recognize where I may have strengths and opportunities for growth."

"During each meeting, Matt often starts in asking me to describe a recent event/encounter in which I feel of importance to my career advancement, then he will guide me to identify the “good” and “could’ve been better” points. I feel this process is very helpful and fruitful."

Xiaodong L.

"I wasn’t sure what to expect from my time with Matt. Given my chaotic schedule, I feared that the time commitment would result in one more deliverable to accomplish. I wasn’t prepared for the truly transformational journey that would ensue. Matt challenged me to dig deeper in my personal reflection and to develop a true understanding of my core values."
