Bio
I believe we all hold an extraordinary power within to make amazing changes in not only our own lives, but the lives of others around us.
Dedicating my personal and professional life to the mission of championing people's dreams, I have found my calling as a Co-Active Coach who really cares about YOU, your core inner values and your capacity to make a real difference in the world today.
Through Co-Active Coaching, I derive immense satisfaction from seeing my clients find out who they really are, and then begin to truly live the lives they want and desire. My mantra is simple; anything is possible!
With a broad depth of service in a variety of industries, I am a committed coach who holds a Bachelor of Science (BSc) in Business Information Systems and a Post-Graduate Certificate (PGCE) in Business Education. I have dedicated over 20 years of my professional life in helping people from different backgrounds achieve their goals.
I am a dedicated supporter of the Co-Active Coaching Model and is mindful of everybody's individual core values. The Co-Active approach focuses on you as a human being and believes you are naturally creative, resourceful and whole. Through curiosity, intuition and challenge, incredible transformations take place in YOU the client.
Love, laughter and a passion for creativity are also important to my philosophy. I proudly possess several years experience performing as an award winning stand-up on the UK comedy circuit and running my own business of Comedy Coaching Workshops for aspiring artists, performers and writers.
I am currently on a program of study and working toward Professional Coaching Certification with the Coaches Training Institute (CTI). I offer enthusiasm, commitment and dedication to your cause, whatever it may be!

Testimonials
I wasn't sure if life coaching was for me, but Matt's energy and insights in our sessions left me motivated and excited about what's next. Matt is a great listener and is very in tune with the way you express yourself. As we talked on Skype, several times he pointed out when my inflection changed which indicated a change in mood and mindset as I talked about different life topics. You immediately get the sense that Matt is dedicated to his craft and is truly passionate about helping others. I'll continue to recommend Matt to my friends whenever the topic of self improvement or life change comes up.
Web Consultant, Vancouver, BC.
Matt brings a big heart, keen intuition, and insightful questions to his coaching. I appreciate how well he balances kindness, directness, curiosity, and a great sense of humor. Matt creates a safe space for exploring meaty issues and perplexing challenges, and I always walk away from our conversations with some valuable nugget: a shift in my thinking, a readiness to address a particular obstacle, or an expanded confidence in my own capacity.
Non-Profit Management Consultant, Seattle, WA.
The life coaching is great! Matt is a very positive person, which is infectious, and I could feel the passion for coaching in his voice. Matt really pays attention to small details and was able to identify goals and passions that I'd not actually stated. Bringing my awareness to the root of my roadblocks has helped me tremendously. Matt's approach and demeanor are friendly and reassuring, making me feel we had developed a rapport in the first few minutes of our telephone call. Matt was able to bring things back to the root of the issue and work through them with encouragement. I would highly recommend Matt as an excellent life coach!
