Foundational Performance Program
Most teams don’t lack the desire or drive to work hard and push for results — they lack the ability to manage it and stay consistent.
They’re ambitious, capable, and busy… but it’s not always grounded in sustainability. Self-doubt creeps in. Burnout brews beneath the surface. Teams pull in different directions and the clutter gets in the way.
Most programs frankly, often miss the mark. We focus so much on tools and strategies, bulletpoints and slides and yet unless they’re connect to story and personally resonate, they fall on deaf ears and no one uses them. We have to learn with vulnerability and focus on building the inner foundation required for sustainable performance - wellbeing. Rewire what performance actually means — starting from the inside out.
What teams need
There’s a growing hunger for development that’s:
Real (not just theory)
Relatable (anchored in lived experience)
Immediately usable (not locked in binders)
Sustainable (not another hype-filled workshop with no follow-through)
This is that solution.
The Foundational Performance Program is a 6-month, 5 workshop series designed to strengthen individuals, align teams, and embed a performance culture that lasts because it’s built from the ground up.
It’s delivered across 5 core workshops, spaced every 4-6 weeks.
Investment: $12,000 NZD + GST for the full 6-month program (includes 5 x 60-90-minute workshops w/addtional options for larger groups)
Tailored for your team, your goals, and your culture — no off-the-shelf cookiecutter approach.
Each workshop builds on the last — creating a progression, not a one-off. Tools compound. Mindsets deepen. The culture shifts.
Everything is tailored.
You choose virtual or in-person or a mix to suit. Sessions can run monthly or be stacked into more intensive formats. Content is shaped based on discovery calls and your team’s real needs.
I’ve delivered this to small exec teams of 5-6 and full organisations of over 300 — it flexes without losing its edge.

This isn’t a corporate wellbeing chat. I keep things authentic, grounded, and impactful.
People will be challenged — but never alienated. We balance real talk with clear tools and energy that moves people forward and leaves them with questions and the ability to answer their next ones themselves.
This program is for you if:
You are ready to go all in on your team with a full solution not just a one-off tick the box talk.
You want more than motivation — you want momentum and actual change
You’re ready to align people around something deeper than KPIs and focus on the process before the result.
You believe wellbeing and performance aren’t separate goals, they can enable eachother.
Most teams want better performance. Few are willing to build the foundation first. Are you?

Matt’s talks were honest and encouraging, he talked from the heart about some all too familiar topics. This was followed up with some really good, easy to implement strategies for building our own wellbeing cushions. Matt was engaging, knowledgeable and thought-provoking, and feedback from our team was really positive. It was a privilege having him share his story with us.

Matt was absolutely incredible with seamless flow from beginning to end. He has a very interesting story and was easy to relate to the examples he gave. Very thought-provoking and a great reminder to check in with yourself, and recalibrate when necessary. Inspirational.
Ecotricity
We so appreciated Matt coming in and taking the day to hold a few sessions with the staff at Ecotricity. His welcome video before the day, and open and honest personal stories really resonated with the team. Matt making space after to chat with anyone who wanted to really showed his passion and care for what he's doing and sharing with us all. We would highly recommend!
Workshop One
Understanding Your Inner Voice
Rewriting the story of not-enough. We explore self-belief, imposter syndrome, and the inner critic — helping people zoom out, gain perspective, and reconnect to their quiet strength and unseen impact. Challenging the beliefs they hold about themselves.
Workshop Two
Building Sustainable Energy
Why putting yourself first isn’t selfish. We shift the story around wellbeing — building personal systems that fuel clarity, consistency, and the kind of fire that doesn’t burn out.
Workshop Three
Adapting Through Change
Real-world resilience for a world that won’t slow down. We dig into what it takes to adapt on the fly — offering tools to navigate change, rebound faster, and find direction when the map gets ripped up.
Workshop Four
Connecting with Purpose
Leading from connection, not control. From Air Force teamwork strategies to prioritising our why — we look at how strong teams align on with purpose, create trust, and show up for the person next to them, not just the end goal.
Workshop Five
High Level Execution
Swapping motivation for momentum, and action into outcomes. We bring it all together — setting bold goals that are intentionally wildly unrealistic, reframing failure, and building decision-making confidence to perform consistently when the lights go on.
