About Matt

Training Theory
Based on insights from the UK’s top business schools, the World Economic Forum, and personal experience, it is clear that though there is no rigid formula for success, there are approaches which maximise your chances. Matt’s workshops explore these approaches: developing self-awareness, uncovering blind-spots, and building ways of engaging and empowering your team, whilst thinking further and deeper than you ever have before.
The learning is highly experiential, you’ll be engaged by challenge and inspired by stories, in a process which ultimately is fun – so your brain will release dopamine, embedding new neural pathways, and new thinking. At the end of each workshop you’ll take away a series of tools which are deep and flexible enough to make a profound difference every day in your toughest corporate challenges.
