Master Your Coaching Game

Create the life you love by making your coaching business perfectly tailored to you: Great clients, great results, less friction, and more financial abundance.

Learn how to be that person.

You're already a professional coach or therapist, who’s got traction in your business and knows your craft well. You work at it every day, following the rules, and adhering to certain strategies and tactics laid out that guide you within the boundaries of your profession.

But you’re feeling stuck.

There’s something missing. Some days, it’s a kind of staleness to your daily work that you feel and it shows up in the results. Other days you’re paralyzed with self-doubt… and your clients are not progressing the way you envisioned them to. The realities of being a “professional” aren’t as amazing as you imagined.

Do you feel your hands are tied by the rules you have to play by? And if you had the freedom to do things your own way, could you imagine having the power and flexibility to support your clients to create amazing results?

What if you could imagine your ideal life as a coach, totally free to express your unique gift and help transform your clients' lives in profound and fulfilling ways?

What would that look like? How would it feel?

I'm here to let you know that it's not only achievable to bring more fun and excitement into your business by delivering substantial and impactful results to your clients, but this will naturally lead to an increase in your income allowing you the freedom to experience more joy and fulfillment into your work.

My big question to you is, and let’s be honest here…

Are you winning the game you're currently playing?
…and do you even know what winning looks like?

If your answer isn’t anything but a “hell ya!!” you need to make some changes in your life and business. It’s time to take authorship of your life and business and design your own bespoke “coaching game.”

Now, let me explain… when YOU make the game and YOU set the rules, you create the conditions so you can get more of what you want, more often. That’s what I mean by Winning On Your Own Terms.

Creating your winning game can mean many things:

  • More free time to pursue travel, hobbies, or personal relationships

  • More financial abundance that gives you the freedom to invest in yourself, or re-invest in your business

  • A full coaching practice filled with your perfect clients who show up, do the work, and get fantastic outcomes

  • Collaborative and supportive relationships with other coaches instead of comparison, competition, and FOMO

  • An experience of excitement and joy as you wake up each morning with that glint in your eye and that overwhelming feeling that you are blessed

Work that is aligned to who you really are is meant to be joyful and abundant. That’s how you know this is right for you.

I’ll ask you one more time: What does winning at your own coaching game really look like for you?

So many of us coaches aren't happy about their level of success right now — just like many of our clients aren't satisfied with their outcomes.

A lack of money, a lack of freedom, a lack of passion, and a lack of results.

It doesn’t have to be this way.

This is your life… and YOU have the power in your hands right now to choose a better path that’s going to get you more of what you want out of your life and your business.

What’s stopping you from making that change to profoundly welcome more passion, abundance, and results into your life?

Master Your Coaching Game™ was intentionally crafted to help you both play games you can thrive in and support your clients so that they can win their game too, no matter how big, scary, or audacious it may seem at first.

You can get from here to there by putting several powerful, yet simple, principles into practice (that literally anyone can master), and make them part of your Coaching DNA.

You CAN have both a coaching business and a life you love, rising each morning and saying “do I really get to do THIS for work?! Wow.”

Yes, it’s possible… because I’ve done it.

And you can too!

Here’s what our work will look like

  • Month 1: The promise of coaching

    Month One

    The clearer you are on what coaching means to you and how you serve the world as a coach, the more powerfully you'll show up in service of your clients. We’ll explore all the different facets of what it means to be a coach.

  • Month 2: What do you want

    Month Two

    Becoming world-class at supporting your clients in their transformation that will impact their lives and your own. You'll deepen your ability to hold space for clients as they practice becoming their own navigators, and learn when to step in help them steer.

  • Month 3: Where are you now

    Month Three

    In order to take a step toward our desires, we have to get honest and accurate about our starting point. We'll uncover the hooks, or attachments, that prevent you from seeing the present moment, and you'll learn to navigate the breakdowns that inevitably arise in the process of transformation. By the end, you'll have a clear assessment of your current location in business and life.

  • Month 4: What's in between

    Month Four

    Once we're clear on what our clients want and where they are, we support them in building powerful strategies for moving forward. You'll gain an understanding of how your clients' contexts define the strategies available to them and how to use games to shift them powerfully into action. By the end, you'll have a fun short-term game for your own business that moves you toward your compelling vision.

  • Month 5: Your dream game

    Month Five

    As you deepen your understanding of the fundamentals, you can begin to assert your own creative force on your coaching structure via your divine power. As a group, we'll support you in creating your own dream game as a coach and creator in your life. You'll leave with an idea of your ideal client, container, and vision, along with the next breakthrough that lies along the way.

How It’s Designed

The Nuts and Bolts of the Container

  • My improvements stem from an improved ability to choose in the face of challenge.

    “My life, my work, and my relationships are improved. These improvements have been realized because of an improved ability to choose in the face of challenges, in the form of both external circumstances as well as well-worn inner patterns of seeing, experiencing, and relating to life. Matt consistently brings a combination of unconditional acceptance and support and steady courage and willingness to challenge. Combined with his insight, sincerity, and sense of humor, the coaching experience was raw, fun and life-changing.”
