DISCOVER YOUR IDENTITY
LIVE WITH PURPOSE. LEAD WITH COURAGE.
We exist to guide leaders in discovering their true identity, empowering them to live with purpose and lead with courage.
At nCourage, we understand that living on purpose and leading with courage begins with discovering and embracing your identity. Courage isn’t the absence of fear; it’s the choice to act in alignment with your authentic self despite fear or uncertainty. By leading from this place of self-awareness and conviction, you inspire others to do the same, fostering environments of trust, resilience, and growth.
Impact Stories
JAMES WELLS GALPHIN | ASSISTANT CONTROLLER
"Work had become a chore. I didn’t know what I wanted to do, how to progress, or what was causing those feelings. After working with the team at nCourage, I was able to dig deep and engage in meaningful self-evaluation. The best part was realizing that I already had the answers within me—I just didn’t know the right questions to ask. Once we identified those, everything clicked, and work no longer feels like such a daunting task. Big thanks to nCourage Professional Coaching for guiding me through this journey."
KRISTIN JOHNSON | CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER
"I first started working with Matt because I was going through some big changes in my career and personal life. His coaching helped me articulate and really understand my core values and what truly matters to me, both in work and personal life. Often, we know the answer, but it takes someone asking thoughtful questions or giving us different language to be able to identify it for ourselves. I will be forever grateful for the personal growth that I have had from Matt’s coaching. It has not only made me a better leader in my professional life but has also made me be a better wife, mother and friend."
TYLER DAVIS | BUSINESS OWNER/REGIONAL SALES DIRECTOR
"Working with Matt during a transitional period in my career was a game-changer. He helped me gain clarity on my identity and purpose, which was invaluable as I navigated this valley. Through insightful conversations and guidance, I developed a clearer vision for my future and the confidence to move forward. His approach was both thoughtful and empowering, and I’m grateful for the impact he’s had on my personal and professional growth."
