ABOUT MATTHEW GODDARD

I believe leadership isn’t just about performance, it’s about self-awareness, clarity, and the ability to stay grounded when things get chaotic.I combine executive search with deep coaching to help startup founders and leaders operate from that place.For over a decade I’ve hired senior leaders across Tech, Product, and Commercial functions, working with companies like Zalando, Personio, and Einride through critical growth phases. Over time I saw the same pattern: hiring great people wasn’t the hard part. Integrating them was.So I\'ve built The Hire.Integrate.Thrive (HIT) Method™ a search and coaching system designed to hire, Integrate, and retain exceptional leaders. Instead of stepping away after a placement, I stay involved. I coach leaders through ramp, communication, onboarding relationships, and execution.Alongside that, I run Queerthentic, my LGBTQ+ coaching brand for queer humans who want to live, lead, and thrive with full inner and outer authenticity. I’m an accredited Master Intuitive Psychology Coach. Most coaching methods try to create change through willpower, by focusing only on the present and future.Intuitive Psychology® works deeper than discipline. It integrates neuroscience and intuition, allowing lasting change at the level where beliefs, emotions, and behaviour originate, past, present, and future.The result is not just insight, it is integrated change you can feel in how you lead, speak, and decide.In a world where cognitive intelligence is becoming automated, embodied intelligence becomes the differentiator. AI can process data. It cannot process intuition. As technology accelerates, the leaders who stand out will be the ones who can access intelligence beyond logic, emotional, instinctive, embodied. That’s what Intuitive Psychology® develops.If any of this resonates, feel free to reach out. I’m always open to real conversations with founders and leaders in motion.
