coaching
Our coaching is designed for anyone ready to tap into creativity and reconnect with their goals. Individuals, leaders, teams, moms, and more - we guide people inward and tackle the deep work to get unstuck, unlock new ideas, and build the momentum needed to move forward.
It all starts with an honest and open conversation about your specific needs.
COACH. GUIDE. FACILITATOR.
COACH. GUIDE. FACILITATOR.
I’m Matthew LeBaron, your Creative Coach and Talent Partner. I work with artists and studios, leaders and teams, ready to reconnect with their creativity and align with their mission.
Many of my clients come to me feeling stuck, isolated from their ideas, their next step, or their community. Together, we shift that isolation into connection, clarity, and energy.
With 22 years of experience in artist management, wellness instruction, and creative practice, I bring a rare ability to walk into any room (virtual or in person), see people clearly, and create the conditions where creativity flows.
Clients often call me the Connector - Not only because I connect people to each other, but because I help individuals connect to themselves: to their goals, their creativity, and their path forward.
Whether we’re working one-on-one, in a workshop, or with a team, I show up as a coach, guide, collaborator, and catalyst.
Coaching Artists. Guiding Clients. Facilitating Creativity.
The best place to start is a conversation to explore what’s possible together.
