Business Area Director - CaixaBank

“I met Matt in a leadership course in which he showed us skills around effective meetings and communication, and I put the techniques into practice.

Immediately, I noticed that my team was more participative and motivated, with greater proactivity, which caused a sustained impact on our business results. As a result, I was able to give visibility to my team leaders and create a pool of them.

Thank you Matt! It’s so exciting to see my teams grow so much and see them enjoy the process!”

Senior Manager, Business Development - Repsol

“Matt's engagement breaks the worn-out mold of typical communications course dogma. Combined with his dynamism and magnetic engagement style, his curriculum pulled our participants toward the new age of focused, intentional messaging without ignoring underlying fundamentals.

We were left with new skills and approaches around the "live" aspect of communicating, but also having an innovative structure and process for crafting the message.

10/10 will bring him back.”

Chief of Staff, Global IT Infrastructure Services - Roche

“Matt is a great coach, highly skilled and experienced.

He has helped me develop and grow my skills with tips and tangible ideas and examples on how to approach public speaking, facilitate and run a meeting, work on elevator pitches and other essential but not always trivial communication needs.

He comes across as a humble, yet assertive and knowledgeable professional, with a lot of good humour and presence. Very helpful indeed.”

Risk Director of Consumer Finance - CaixaBank

“I met Matt at a Leadership course organized by CaixaBank, he being in charge of the Communication & Influence parts of the program. Very dynamic person as well as a true expert in the matter, he made me enjoy those hours very much. It is important to realize the type of communicator who lives inside you, to have conscience of the kind of audience you have in front and know some tricks that will make you a better communicator: all these points were covered by Matt in an easy and friendly manner.

Accustomed to public speaking as I am, I have taken several of Matt's advices in order to improve my speeches. Well done, Matt!”

International Proposition Manager - Santander Bank

“During the workshops, Matt gave us many useful tips on how to compose the presentation (starting with the agenda, through the PowerPoint and then to actual speech), how to act (where to look, how to use intonation, how to seem calm, confident, and professional), and how to get our main points through.

After the session with Matt my presentations got better - both in structure and form. He taught me how to engage my audience - so that they not only hear me but also aren't bored to death. I sincerely recommend Matt's class to everyone, especially corporate leaders.

It's a fun way to learn a very practical skill, Matt is a very observant and sharp person, and he is a great example of a good presenter/speaker.”

Head of Future Cities - Nesta (£1 million Mayor’s Resilience Fund)

“Matt provided excellent services for the London Mayor's Resilience Fund. He supported dozens of diverse companies working on many different types of projects with workshops and 1:1 coaching services to hone and develop their messaging and pitching skills, including creating video pitches.

Matt was able to quickly understand their needs and how he could best support them in developing their pitching skills. His interactive presentation/workshop style and his direct coaching both received very positive feedback from the companies involved, with some participants stating his support was the best aspect of the entire fund and others stating his services directly and tangibly improved the offering.

Further, we found Matt to be incredibly organised, responsive and pleasant to work with. I would love to work with him again and I rate him really highly.”

Partner - Pérez-Llorca

“I think Matt is the perfect help to improve your skills in presentations (not only in front of large audiences, but also in reduced formats like meetings, events etc.). He is also very helpful for preparing specific topics (a panel you’re going to be on, a presentation to a specific client, etc.).

Matt has a lot of experience and rapidly understands the objectives of your meeting or presentation, helping you reach them in a way that is not only natural, but also the most effective.

I would recommend that any professional who must speak in public tries a session with Matt.”

Deputy General Manager of Field Operations - Schindler India

“Matt conducted the most effective Communication session I have attended so far.

He was very engaging throughout the entire 3 part session. Be it a Product or Service or a Solution pitch, I am very confident that my probability of success can increase drastically with his technique!

A must attend session for anyone who is focussed on bettering their communication style.”

Partner - Pérez-Llorca

“It’s been a great pleasure working with Matt on improving speech techniques.

His advice is always spot on and has helped me improve my skills.

I am looking forward to receiving additional coaching from him in the future and I would definitely recommend his services to other colleagues!”

Head of Growth - AJ&Smart

“If you're looking for sales coaching then I 100% recommend working with Matt. Matt's coaching approach is highly focused, personalized, and most importantly, incredibly effective.

After just one coaching session I was able to immediately implement what I'd learned, and saw tangible results in my sales call conversion rate.

I really enjoyed working with Matt and would recommend him to anyone who is looking to take their sales/pitching skills to the next level!”

Associate Professor - Universidad de Carlos III

“I absolutely recommend Matt for the preparation of scientific keynotes and project interviews. I met Matt while preparing for the interview for a grant from the European Research Council (ERC Consolidator Grant). First, I received a course on online public speaking and interviews organized by the Spanish FECYT in which Matt was the teacher, and that I found very very useful. So I contacted Matt to be my coach in several private sessions to prepare for my interview. Matt helped me a lot with all the details: content, tone, pronunciation, posture, gaze ... so on the day of the interview I was calm and confident, and I consider that this was a very important factor to convince the evaluating panel .

I got the grant! Thank you so much Matt. We will certainly keep in touch so that you can help my team in the preparation of future public speaking events and project interviews.”

Project Officer - European Commission

“Matt worked with us at the European Commission to moderate complex and lengthy discussions from the Young Leaders of Industry Forum, a side event organised under EU Industry day, and proved to be an enormous asset. With humour, charisma and enthusiasm, he helped to guide the discussions perfectly whilst keeping to strict time restraints.

He arrived extremely well prepared, and we would not hesitate in using him for future Forums and conferences.

Many thanks again Matt for such a great job!”

HR Talent Acquisition & Development, Senior Specialist - Cintra

“I had the pleasure of counting on Matt’s experience as coach and trainer to facilitate a day of professional skills workshops for a group of talented juniors.

Matt was the highest-rated speaker by the participants, demonstrating his wide-ranging knowledge in the development of skills in communication, team management, personal efficiency, and conflict resolution. His practical, dynamic session, using concrete case studies grounded in real life, received unanimously positive feedback from the group and the maximum rating in the satisfaction scale.

Without a doubt I would recommend Matt for future collaborations.”

Head of Tech Relations - Zartis

“I wanted to take a moment to thank Matt for the work he did with me. After a few years in my current company, I was promoted to Team Lead and Matt helped me a lot during this transition.

He helped me to change my leadership approach and provided the tools I needed to be more efficient and empathetic. Matt also provided me great support during some challenging times and guided me to excel as a leader.

The sessions with him were really enjoyable!”

Partner, Spain & LatAm - Continental Search Alliance (CSA)

“We asked Matt to give the keynote speech and workshop in our annual international conference at CSA (Continental Search Alliance). As we had member organizations coming from 12 different countries, we needed someone who could help us do three key things: bring a sense of cohesion and union to the conference, lead an important debate about our international sales message, and have fun while doing it. Matt managed all three with no problem.

Through his talk and workshop, he got everybody thinking about the really big questions that we needed to tackle (how we talk to our clients in each country, and whether we are really highlighting our best assets). Everybody came out of the conference feeling that not only did we end up with tangible results (a new version of our international sales pitch), we were laughing together throughout Matt’s session and we feel that bonds have been strengthened significantly between our member firms. The feedback from the attendees has been that thanks to Matt this has been one of the most productive and enjoyable conferences we’ve ever had.”

Executive VP, Southern Europe - Altitude Software

“After 9 years as CEO and President of Altitude Software in Spain, and 4 years as Executive Vice President for the South of Europe, in an unrelentingly demanding business context, I felt that I was losing the skills that had helped me get to this point, both professionally and personally. I needed someone who could help me become more efficient and effective in my day-to-day work.

I met Matt, and after 6 months of coaching I can say that the effort and work put in by both of us has clearly borne fruit. I have recovered the security that characterized me, and am far more able to improvise. These are aspects that I consider key to being successful in this VUCA world we are living in. Thank you Matt!”
