Executive & Personal Development Coaching for Founders & Senior Leaders
For experienced leaders navigating change, transition, pressure or the question of what comes next.
You may have built a successful business, reached senior leadership, or achieved much of what you once set out to achieve, and still find yourself asking what comes next.
I work with founders and senior leaders at those turning points, helping them step back from the day-to-day, think clearly and make deliberate choices about their leadership, work and wider life.
I’m Matt Porter, an ICF Professional Certified Coach, former founder and commercial director, with more than 4,500 coaching hours.

You might recognise yourself here in one or more ways , whether you are thinking about strategy, feeling stuck, have reached a plateau or are seeking balance.
As a commercially experienced Professional Certified Coach (ICF PCC) who has lived a life or two I can partner with you to help you achieve more freedom, balance and abundance in your life.
Leading through change or transition
When the role, business or context has shifted and you need to decide how you want to respond.
Working out what comes next
When success has created choices rather than certainty, and the next chapter isn't obvious.
Stepping back from the business
When you're deep inside delivery and need space for strategy, perspective and better decisions.
Leading without losing yourself
When responsibility, ambition, family and life are competing for the same finite bandwidth.
Coaching
Conversations
It has been a great pleasure to work with Matt Porter!
Matt has significant managerial and executive knowledge, a professional experience similar to mine, which made me feel well listened to.
He showed a lot of empathy, asked excellent questions to reflect upon, offered interesting perspectives, assigned motivating homework, incl. good reading recommendations.
I wholeheartedly recommend coaching, and in particular with someone like Matt.
To any senior executive who would like to reflect upon their current career goals and motivations and to gain new professional and personal drive.

Matt brings insight and experience to a coaching relationship that has enabled me to move beyond my perceived limitations and recognise my strengths.
He has taught me how to overcome the fear of the unknown and I am now able to tackle every problem I face with confidence.
Matt has given me the mental resources to keep on top of the workload and manage each challenge as it arises.
Matt has an approach that, most crucially, allows me to figure out how to proceed.
I have no doubt at all that I wouldn’t have the business I have today without Matt.
I cannot speak highly enough of his skills, wisdom and encouragement.
