Matthew Davies: Why Your Executive Coach Needs Humor and Empathy
Description
Host Rexhen Doda interviews Matthew Davies, a leadership consultant, executive coach, facilitator, and speaker, and founder of Matthew Davies Leadership LTD. Matthew, who transitioned from a banking career, helps leaders build clarity, confidence, and performance, bringing humor and empathy to his work.
He embraces a broad client base focused on individuals keen to "get better," rather than a specific niche. Typical engagements span 6-8 sessions over six months, emphasizing personal connection and energy.
Matthew's client acquisition is driven by relationships and word-of-mouth, supported by a weekly blog and strategic LinkedIn networking. His goals prioritize sustainable direct client work and a balanced life over solely maximizing income, with future plans to collaborate with other coaches on larger programs.
His top investments are executive coaching courses (AOEC, Henley Business School), valued for learning and networking. He discusses the nuance of certifications, pursuing higher accreditations to demonstrate professionalism and access senior clients, despite their often indirect financial ROI.
