“Matthew is so much more than an Executive Coach and Speaker, it is hard to put into words…”

He is a human version of a sophisticated Swiss Army Knife any leader would want on call to deal with the catalyzing complexities of leadership, love and life.”

Does this sound Familiar?

  • You are managing valuable assets and navigating complex decisions yet feeling alone.
  • Your priorities are unintentionally paying a high price.
  • You struggle to balance family, work, the tensions of leadership and life, yet something is getting in the way.
  • You are leading across cultures and boundaries and want to have the social and cultural intelligence to navigate this role better.
  • You are not on point and showing up for yourself and others the way you would like, and do not know why.
  • You want to safeguard your ethical compass amidst the tensions of competing interests.
  • You are on the brink of or in the midst of a crisis and want to transform it into an opportunity and advantage, yet, at a loss for how to do so.

If any of this rings true, let’s talk and make a plan.

About Matthew Brackett

Healthy leadership is life-giving.
Unhealthy leadership can be destructive.

You may have observed dysfunctional living and leadership a few times along the road of your life, either on the inside or on the outside. Humans often slide into undesirable situations, unhealthy or dysfunctional living and leading. It is time to decide, not slide.

Stand up, decide and choose to positively influence, lead, love and live the best way you can.

I’m Matthew Brackett, a coach, advisor and educator regarding a perennial human experience: the use of power, influence and leadership. I am passionate about humanity, healthy leadership and human potential. I know that we can do better, one impactful influencer at a time.

With 30+ years of experience in leadership positions, education and development in some of the largest and most complex global organizations in the world. I have enjoyed broad international and intercultural experience in leadership, educational and consulting roles in Italy, Ireland, England, Colombia, Chile, and Mexico, leading teams representing all continents. I also had the honor to raise my right hand and serve as a special Staff Officer and Chaplain in the United States Navy and Marine Corps.

Thanks to these experiences, I have gained extensive knowledge and insight into the complexities of human behavior and leadership. I continue to add value to leaders from Bimbo Bakeries, AstraZeneca, Unilever, General Mills, Coca Cola, Citizens Bank, Mawer Investors, Baylor University, Refresco, SISAP (Guatemala), the Catholic Church and others.
