Here's What You're Dealing With

You know you need to show up for your team, but some days it feels like your brain is running through molasses. Important decisions that used to be second nature now feel overwhelming. You're worried about losing credibility, making poor choices, or letting your team down during their critical moments.

Grief fundamentally changes how your brain processes information for 6-12 months. You're not broken, incapable, or losing your edge as a leader. Your brain is doing exactly what it's designed to do during loss—and once you understand this, you can lead effectively through it.

Why I Can Help

I'm Matthew, and I specialize in helping tech executives navigate leadership during grief.

I bring together 20+ years of tech leadership experience, a Master's in Project Management, and specialized training in grief counseling. I've guided teams through layoffs, personal losses, and organizational crises—and I understand both the human psychology of grief and the unique pressures of tech leadership.

You shouldn't have to choose between processing your loss and being an effective leader. There's a way to do both.

What You'll Learn

This 5-module leadership system shows you exactly how to:

  • Understand why your brain feels different and what to expect during recovery

  • Communicate with your team about your situation without losing their confidence

  • Manage your energy and capacity while maintaining your leadership effectiveness

  • Build the professional support network that makes everything sustainable

  • Design a recovery timeline that includes your continued leadership growth

Each module unlocks 24 hours after you complete the previous one, letting you implement the frameworks at a sustainable pace while processing grief.

And if you're ready for personalized guidance, I offer executive coaching programs specifically designed for leaders navigating grief.

Why This Matters Now

Research shows leaders who address grief systematically recover their full effectiveness 6-9 months faster than those who try to "push through" alone. The right approach doesn't just help you recover—it helps your team maintain productivity during your most challenging period.

The sooner you understand what's happening and get the right frameworks, the sooner you can restore your cognitive clarity and lead at your full capacity.
