You've always had a coach. At school, at sports practice, and when learning an instrument. There was always someone there to show you the ropes and to guide you in your learning process. But once you graduated, you were on your own. There was no one to help you grow stronger, or more skilled, or just the tiniest bit more comfortable in the roles you have in life.
Combine that with never having been taught certain essential aspects of life, such as learning to speak your mind, how to set boundaries, or how to be a great dad; and you might feel lost.
Don't worry. This is where I come in. During our 1 on 1s I coach you on those topics you don't feel confident in. I won't tell you what to do. Instead, we'll discover options you didn't know you had before together. You pick the one you feel best about.
And then you get to practice. My goal is to get you to a place where you don't need me anymore. Just like you are.
Example of a coaching program
I'll describe how a coaching program could look for you. Note that the number of times we meet can differ - this all depends on your needs. Of course, which topics we'll talk about depends on what you'd like my support on as well.
Intake
Before we dive deep into your psyche, we'll have to get a feel for whether we work well together, don't we? Our first time meeting, we'll do an intake. We'll take about 45 minutes to get to know each other better. We'll discuss
What kind of coach I am
What kind of person you are
What kind of support you're looking for
This intake works both ways, by the way. If at the end of our chat either one of us doesn't feel excited about working together, we probably shouldn't collaborate. And that's a good thing! If you're not feeling it with me, look for another coach who does. I promise I won't get mad!
Session 1-3
The first couple of sessions we'll get to know you. What kind of person are you? What do you think is important? What do you absolutely want to get out of life. This is the foundation on which the rest of the coaching is built. This way we ensure that whatever the result of our collaboration is going to be, it's going to be that helps YOU forward. You're getting bespoke service when you work with me, baby!
Session 4-5
Next, we're going to create some new habits for you. After all, success is just doing the right things over and over again, right? Whatever your definition of success is, be it creating a boatload of money for yourself, or saying no to things, so you can spend more quality time with your children, I guarantee you the right habits will get you there. And what those are is what we're going to figure out together during the next couple of sessions.
Session 6-7
Often, around the 5-6 session mark, you're basically done. I'm not quite ready to let you go though. I take some time and see how you perform; if those new habits are sticking. Often, our sessions will be shorter, and spaced longer apart. At this time, you're basically already doing what you're supposed to be doing. I'm the proverbial training wheels, and in these last few sessions we're preparing to take them off.
Of course, we'll evaluate on your progress. We'll reflect on where you started, what you've learned, and where you're currently at in your development. We'll discuss the future as well. Are you well on your way to achieving the results you wanted? And if so, what more support do you need? We'll know both of us will have done a good job if you feel you no longer need my support 🙂
Testimonials
I'm excited and proud to share the testimonials that others have written about me, and about their collaboration with me.
Brian
I had the opportunity to engage in 1 on 1 coaching with Matti, around the topic of fatherhood. Matti was accommodating and easy to connect with. His style of coaching really meshed well with my style of learning and in a short time he had me really working on my mindset. After each meeting, he gave me meaningful thought exercises that really challenged me and moved me forward in my thinking and self awareness. I really benefited from the time we spent together and I would highly recommend Matti to anyone honestly looking to improve their mindset and performance as a father!
Bill
With the help of Matti, my goals became increasingly clear throughout the coaching. I'd rate him a 10/10! Everything was great and I honestly could not have wished for more. Thank you so much!
Artis
“I experienced Matti as very calm and patient person, that could dose the right amount of interventions through reflection and provocation. He has developed a strong blend of cognitive and intuitive qualities that were at great help throughout the coaching trajectory.”
