Before starting the coaching process, I suggest you read my book, The Great CEO Within (Amazon). If the book resonates with you, then you will benefit from my coaching. 

The book takes several hours to read. It will give you an overview of the tools you and Matt will implement together.

If you're not ready to buy the book, you can read an older version of the book online for free here.

Come back to this page and click "Begin Coaching" when you're ready to get started. We're excited to meet you!

First, please read the wiki entry on being On Time and Present. It takes about 3 minutes to read. 

Next, please read the wiki entry on the importance of setting a daily Top Goal. It takes about 3 minutes to read. 

Lastly, please read Steps 1-5 of my Coaching Methodology. It takes about 3 minutes to read.

Now that you're clear on the coaching process, let's get started! First, I would like to know a little more about you.

For me, coaching is about creating a deep personal connection. I want to become close friends with you. I want you to know about me as a human. And I want to know about you as a human.

Here is some personal information about me. I want to share it with you because he's committed to building a personal connection with you.

Now, please share some of your own personal information.

List up to three great outcomes you would like to accomplish by the end of the upcoming quarter. You can write these in Goal or OKR style.

For each goal, think of the next action that you can take in the next week to significantly advance toward completion of that goal. This action should be something both specific and under your control. For example, "Ask Jake to meet to discuss proposal," "Draft ideas for board meeting agenda," etc.

I am going to ask you to write out the issues you are facing according to the following format:

(1) The Issue.

Describe the problem.

(2) What did you do to help create this situation?

If I wanted to get myself into the exact same position that you are in now, what steps would I have to take? This is an important question to ask to change your perspective from “the problem is caused by someone else and therefore can only be solved by someone else” to “this problem was in part caused by me, therefore there are things that I can do to unwind it”.

(3) What is your proposed solution?

If you have truly written out how you helped create the situation, then you now likely see the steps needed to back out of the situation. Either way, please write all the specific actions that you would prescribe to solve this issue. Even if you have no confidence in your solution, write it out anyway. It is much more effective for me to react to your proposed solution, than it is for me to invent a solution for you. For each action, please list who will do it, and by when they will do it.
