Leaderbuild™—Coaching Tools for Leaders

7 Powerful Coaching Tools that Build Leadership Confidence, Inspire Team Performance, and Drive Massive Business Results

Next Class begins May 6, 2025

Leaderbuild isn’t another leadership course—it’s a complete shift in how you approach influence, communication, and performance.

Most Leadership Training Is Broken. That’s Why Your Team Still Struggles.

If leading high performers was as simple as setting goals, giving feedback, and holding people accountable, every team would be thriving.

But they’re not.

Because most leadership advice doesn’t actually work.

You’ve set clear expectations—but people still don’t follow through.
You’ve given feedback—but it doesn’t change behavior.
You’ve tried motivation—but it’s short-lived.
You’ve built processes—but performance is still inconsistent.

The problem isn’t effort—it’s the tools you’re using.

Mattison Grey will share the tools, insights, and frameworks, she has developed over the past 25 years, offering a truly unparalleled opportunity to develop your coaching and leadership skills.

The only way to create long-term high performance is through receptivity, connection, and inspiration. But inspiring, connected, balanced leaders are rare.

What Makes Leaderbuild Different?

It’s not about “fixing” your team—it’s about unlocking their best performance.
It’s not about more meetings, processes, or accountability—it’s about influence that actually works.
It’s not about making people like you—it’s about making them trust and follow you.

Here’s What You’ll Learn (That No One Else Is Teaching):

How to create instant receptivity so people actually hear—and act on—what you say.
The three hidden reasons for underperformance (hint: it’s not what you think)
How to deliver feedback that eliminates defensiveness and drives real change.
The key to building trust and influence—without playing the “likeability” game.
How to navigate difficult conversations without losing authority or connection.

✔ This isn’t about “holding people accountable.” It’s about making them want to perform.
✔ This isn’t about “praising more.” It’s about communication that actually lands.
✔ This isn’t about another leadership framework. It’s about high-performance conversations that drive results.

Who should attend?

All humans. Period.

Bold? Maybe. But I honestly believe that everone is a leader, and anyone can be better if they have the right tools.

Who Is This For?

This program is for leaders, managers, coaches, salespeople and high-stakes professionals who are done with surface-level advice and ready to lead and communicate differently.

✅ You want your team to perform—without micromanaging.
✅ You want to communicate in a way that drives action, not just agreement.
✅ You need to influence without manipulation.
✅ You want to turn resistance into receptivity—fast.
✅ You want to understand what truly makes people tick—and use it to elevate performance.

You’ll leave with brand-new coaching and communications tools that are more effective than anything you’ve ever experienced—guaranteed. It’s going to be fun too, with plenty of laughs and “ah-ha moments.”

What about you? What do you want?

Do you want to motivate your under-performing team?
I know why people under-perform, and I’ll teach you what to do about it!
Do you want to be more successful at conveying your expectations?
If I have heard it once, I’ve heard it a thousand times: “I told them my exact expectations, and they didn’t pay attention.” Yeah, I know how to fix that, too.
Do you want to sell a lot of stuff?
Want to know the “secrets” to sell better? (Who doesn’t?)
Do you want to build trust within your relationships?
Trust is scarce in most businesses, but essential to high performance and the well-being of a team.
Do you want to win a national championship?
The same tools taught in this class were used by a sports team that won a national championship—even though on paper that that result didn’t seem likely.
Do you want to build consistent connections?
Disconnection within your team costs you money. Period.
Do you want to know how to get the best out of other people?
Better tools will create better results.

Because traditional leadership training is broken. (And you know it.)

I can’t imagine a person attending and not experiencing a meaningful increase in effectiveness when coaching for performance.

George K.Managing Director at Marek

A fresh new approach that focused on skills and tools that are incredibly valuable

Trey R.V.P., Financial Services

Completely different from any other management/leadership training I have had in 30-plus years

Katrina K.Workforce Development V.P.

Truthfully, this has been the single most valuable training in my 10 years with Ameriprise.

Allison B.Business Financial Advisor

Mattison, I can’t thank you enough for the work you did with us. The difference it has made in just about every interaction I have with advisors, and others, is unreal. I could go on and on with examples just from the past week…but I’m sure you know what I mean. What you do is making an enormous difference in a lot of people’s lives.

Francisco ArmadaPrivate Wealth Advisor

The class and follow-up are great. I want more.

RobertProject Manager

Having been in a leadership role for over 25 years, I have been through many, many trainings, classes, and programs for professional development. The one set of tools that has actually stuck with me and remained effective for the past decade of practice is the set I’ve learned from Mattison. Her method makes chaotic situations crystal clear and provides paths forward through even the hardest circumstances.

Sara Brown, MBAExecutive Director, Academic Affairs Business Operations at C. T. Bauer College of Business

I took LeaderBuild course in Summer 2023. I enjoyed the pace. It was very engaging. I learned a new way of communication that is helping me in all aspects of my life. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who works with teams.
Thank you!
