Coaching Testimonials

»Matt’s tactical coaching on productivity literally saves me hours a day–and I considered myself efficient and organized before we started. He has a superpower of zooming in on the weak spots in the way I use my time, and finding empathetic strategies I can stick to in order to make sure that I am using my day the way I want to in order to achieve my priorities. Previously I felt like my days got away from me. Now I feel like I really own them.«

»In three years as a management consultant and another two working at a mix of startups and public companies, I’ve reported to 30+ people (including Matt) and collaborated with dozens. My experience working with Matt is easily top 5%. He’s intentional about people dynamics, insightful across a range of topics, and unusually efficient. He’s one of the first I go to for advice. Highly recommend.«

»I worked with Matt after reading his insightful HBR piece on productivity… The results have been outstanding: his advice has saved me lots of time and energy, and a year after the coaching I still feel serene and empowered when my inbox or list of tasks gets jammed. Matt is also very empathic and during our coaching, he was keen on finding just the right solutions for my case, and that was extremely helpful. I would strongly recommend Matt to anyone looking for robust coaching on productivity and personal efficiency.«
