Life calling?

Thirty years ago I thought I discovered my life calling. As a kid I used to type in BASIC programs from magazines into a Spectrum 48k computer.

It was perhaps inevitable that I took Computer Science at University before landing a graduate job in 1996 as a Java and C++ Software Engineer.

I’ve since spent decades building software generating hundreds of millions of dollars a year.

Where has my journey taken me?

I’ve enjoyed a number of roles in small, medium and large companies that included:

Executive Coaching
Stakeholder Management
Design Thinking
Agile Transformation
Training & Workshop Leadership

These roles gave me the opportunity to work with people of all walks of life at all levels in the workplace.

I worked with:

Fortune 500 executives – for whom my powers of creative thinking are highly valued
Industry Specialists – to whom I provided invaluable pastoral care
Veteran Engineers – whose progression I guided
Budding Designers– whose ambitions I nurtured and careers I evolved
Graduates – whose confidence I carefully instilled

A new calling

As my journey progressed I realised my talents lay not in writing code but in helping people reach their potential. So I broadened and deepened my skills.

I now offer bespoke coaching in a wide range of areas at great depth.

Most recently I’ve been helping:

Entrepreneurs make mission-critical decisions
Senior managers reclaim career meaning and purpose
Technicians find life after redundancy
Creatives rediscover their inspiration

I can help

Something really wonderful happens when you are seen, heard, and guided through the coaching I provide:

Life takes on more meaning
Relationships flow more easily
You gain more job and life satisfaction
You become more self-reliant
Communication becomes far more effective
Intuition and creativity blossoms

I’ve helped hundreds of people from all walks of life make hugely beneficial changes in their lives. I know I can help you too.

Don’t just take my word for it. See what others have to say …

I don’t feel depressed or anxious going to my work anymore, because I now know – and most importantly, remember - what I am capable of. I have a clearer perspective of things going forward.

Mat was largely responsible for reorganising our whole tribe (250+ people) at IBM into a more Agile supporting framework … his powers of creative thinking were highly valued by our senior leadership

Shazia Kayani

Software Engineer @ IBM

I was managed by Matthew in the early stages of my career at IBM. He is a very experienced professional and definitely utilises all the insight he has whenever an issue arises.  Matt was able to successfully implement and manage the graduate scheme, which I was able to experience and benefit from.

The best result has been increased confidence and taking more action. I’ve had a lot of ease with work since I did the coaching and I thrive both in my business (with more clients) and also working in the gallery.
