Intensive cooperation with the owners and management boards of companies is a comprehensive program tailored to the individual needs of clients. This is the most effective form of work, one-on-one or in small groups, where there is a unique opportunity for broadly understood development, covering such areas as:

Personal branding

People in high positions pay more and more attention to building their brand. This modern approach allows for more effective company management and acquisition of new clients. Cooperation in this respect with the management boards of Audi, well-known clothing brand La Mania and influential CEOs, was based on an individual approach and adaptation of appropriate psychological tools that allow the creation of a long-term strategy.

Competition analysis

To stand out on the market, one has to get to know his competition. This allows creating an original strategy, which gets the attention of the recipients and leads to increased sales profits. After an individual consultation with the CEO of Certa (Rail Systems Certifications), during which we took a closer look on direct competition of her company, she was convinced of the effectiveness of the proposed solutions.

Life coaching

Treating life as a holistic mechanism in which all elements interact in a particular manner is a way to achieve success in all aspects – both private and professional. Cooperation with the president of the board of Gruner + Jahr publishing house, was based on a comprehensive approach to private life and business, which allowed to increase their quality effectively.

Relationship management

Building and maintaining high-quality customer relations requires appropriate skills and is a guarantee of success. Cooperation with Sokpol means specific methods of communication, individual strategy and psychological tools to sustain a long-term relationship with recipients.

Effective motivation, permanently increasing the willingness to act, brings indescribable effects. This was confirmed by the board members of Volkswagen, Vivus, and Fines, with whom Dr. Matt had the opportunity to cooperate, presenting the most effective psychological tools of motivation, tailored to the individual needs of their employees.

Social media strategy

In order to take full advantage of the potential hidden in social media and adjust the strategy to the individual needs of the company, it is worth using the advice of a professional who has been building his image in social media for years. The strength of a well-designed strategy has been proven by the president of the TargetPro board.

Leadership

The position of the leader on international markets is currently undergoing re-evaluation. Research shows that nearly 1/3 of employees do not trust their superiors. Modern leadership is a response to the needs of employees and an opportunity to increase the company’s capabilities. The management staff of Audi, Autopart, Lotos, JobHouse, and TargetPro had the opportunity to see what the results of individual, intensive cooperation in international, sociological and psychological leadership models bring.

Executive coaching

Senior managers are required to have a wide range of competencies, both hard and soft so that they can successfully lead and motivate the team. Executive coaching is an individual diagnosis of needs, defining areas for development and systematic work on what requires improvement in the context of team management. The following list of clients with whom I have worked in this area is proof that development is the foundation for success: Audi, Autopart, Panek, Fines, TargetPro, Campol fruit, Biteck, Patriotic, Fenix3, Intercars, Leadbullet.

Marketing, sales & merchandising strategy

Long term educational mentoring process

It stands for long-term cooperation, covering all of the above areas, striving to improve the quality of life and business. It is also individual support, substantive knowledge and effective psychological tools ready to be used in life and business. The great value of this intensive cooperation was evident by the owner of an international luxury housing development, the management staff of JobHouse, Camera and many other.

Strategic planning

Strategic planning is based primarily on defining the company’s vision, mission, values, and goals. Cooperation with Tieto allowed to work out the foundations on which one can build a thriving enterprise.

Public speaking

Every successful manager needs to masterfully manage public speaking. Dr. Matt worked with the CEO of one of the Big Four companies to make his annual presentation a show of eloquence, substantive knowledge, and self-confidence.

Managerial communication styles

Working with the management staff of Autopart and GS Seacon included various communication styles, tailored to the recipient needs and meeting assigned goals.
