I feel incredibly fortunate to have Mattice as my coach. She was recommended to me and at the time she had a full plate. I was grateful when she found room to fit me in. Being in a leadership role as a Black woman can be isolating and thankless. Mattice' coaching sessions helped me feel less alone and supported in ways that went well beyond me as a leader. Her ability to see you as fully human and make sure that you also see yourself in that way is remarkable. As a journalist, I really appreciate her talent for listening deeply. I do not know where I would have been without her expert coaching in 2020-2021. In a year full of emotions, my sessions with her stood out as the one hour of my day that helped me keep going. She's a gem.

Mattice is such an amazing listener and really tunes into your needs and who you are as a person. She has fantastic energy that is uplifting and supportive that helps you feel rooted and connected. She also regularly offered tools, practices, connections, etc that supported your coaching journey. Moreover, I believe it’s important to work with coaches who think about/reflect on/help us process our experiences, emotions, and reflections as situated in a social, cultural, and political context —and Mattice is amazing at doing that!

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about my coaching experience with Mattice! It was truly transformative! I was able to unpack internalized thoughts around my self-doubt around leadership and how that self-doubt is tied to larger systems of oppression. It was incredible (and a first for me) to be able to process being in a tough leadership position with a Black woman who is rooted in a Black feminist politic. I wish I could extend the coaching sessions! I have already recommended Mattice to a few other colleagues. Black folks, especially Black women and non-binary folks, in leadership positions deserve this type of investment and support.
