Angelo Argentieri
Vice President, Real Estate Firm
"It was an incredible experience. Ian has a ton of knowledge, experience, and is a great facilitator. He was great at getting us on the same page, pulling thoughts from folks who were talking less, and making sure that everybody had a voice."
Karla Ebalo
Chief of Staff, Home Builder
"One of the biggest things that I gained was the confidence to speak up, not only at executive team meetings, but also as the manager of my department. The Leadership Essentials program gave me the tools needed to foster an environment for our team members to be sure we reinforce, reward and repeat the performance so we can have a department that runs at the highest level with the most efficient process."
Melissa Adler
Branch Manager, Finance Company
"Ian's program is one of a kind and provides you with the tools and resources to level up as a leader. The program provided me with action items that had an immediate impact on me and my team. My favorite topic was "Building a Winning Culture". Ian's program laid out 5 simple steps that I was able to implement immediately to see results with my team."
Javier Castillo
Head of Marketing, Bio Tech Firm
"I took Ian Mathews' Leadership Essential course last year, and I loved it. There was so much practical information delivered in these bite-sized videos that were easy to follow. I really liked how it was self-paced and structured, so you can refer to any management topic you need, when you need it.
I highly recommend Leadership Essentials for both new managers and experienced managers who want to continue to improve their skill set."
Allyndreth Stead
CEO, Health and Wellness Startup
"I finally found a business coach that has made a real difference for our company. Ian's natural teaching talents and experience leading teams has really helped me learn how to interview potential new hires, onboard them in such a way as to help them assimilate our company culture, and support an awesome team of professionals here at WPA."
Perla Delacruz

Like No Other
"It was an opportunity like no other to connect with Ian Mathews. He possesses an invaluable pool of knowledge in leadership, management, strategy, and marketing. I brought in Mr. Mathews as a keynote speaker on the topic of leadership. His ideas and delivery energized the audience and personally helped rejuvenate my career. An hour of listening to Mr. Mathews is equivalent to reading 10 leadership books."
Jiteen Khera
Senior Project Manager, Chegg Inc.
Growth and Insight
"For over a decade, I witnessed Ian successfully navigate corporate structure without losing an ounce of productivity, Ian takes lessons from some of America’s finest and largest companies and uses these skills to grow small businesses as both consultant and operator. As a small business owner, I rely on Ian as a sounding board regarding growth, staffing, market insight and strategic thinking. I find Ian’s counsel to be priceless to my company’s strategy, growth, and success. I’d not be where I am today without Ian’s friendship and counsel."
Frank Cava
CEO, Cava Companies
Far More Productive
"As a new leader, I turn to Ian for advice on how to approach specific situations with my team and clients. He shares his experience and helps me build a game plan, while making me think through every potential outcome of my decisions. My team meetings have been far more productive and inclusive as a result of his coaching. This change in approach brought my team together and has changed everything for the better."
James Joyce
Sales Manager, Midway Dental
One Of The Best
"When you work with someone like Ian, you might only talk with him a few hours per week but he is thinking about your business *much* more than that - hours a day. He brings to working sessions a depth of analysis and insight that you only find when a dedicated and experienced executive chooses to internalize your struggles and challenges, as if they were his own. The same issues that keep you up at night keep him up at night. This level of involvement is unheard of in the world of executive coaching and strategic advisory services."
David Moeller
CEO, CodeGuard
