FOR ESTABLISHED COACHES, CONSULTANTS & TRANSFORMATIONAL FOUNDERS
Your Next Level of Impact Requires a New Level of You.
You're already changing lives through your work. The next level won't come from another strategy alone.
RISE is a 12-month high-performance coaching community for transformational founders, coaches, and consultants who want to become living proof of their message, and build the capacity to lead, serve, and grow without sacrificing what matters most.
WATCH FIRST:Â why your impact can only scale as far as the life carrying it, and how RISE builds that foundation.

THE INVISIBLE CEILING
You've Invested Years in Becoming a Better Coach. But What About Becoming the Person You Want to Be?
You've spent years learning how to help people overcome challenges, achieve their goals, and create meaningful change.
But how much of that same time, energy, and commitment are you investing in your own growth?
Maybe you're not as consistent with your health as you'd like to be.
Maybe your relationships aren't getting the time and attention they deserve.
Or maybe you simply know you're capable of more, but you're not making the progress you want in certain areas of your life.
Because knowing how to help others transform and creating that same transformation in your own life are two very different things.
And your next level of growth might not require another course, certification, or business strategy.
It might require making your own development just as much of a priority as everyone else's.
4 Signs You're Ready for a Different Kind of Growth
1.
You're learning constantly, but not always seeing the change in your life.
You've invested in books, courses, events, coaching, and certifications. You have more knowledge than ever. But knowing what to do and consistently living it are two very different things.
2.
Your personal commitments are the first things to go when life gets busy.
A new client signs on. You travel for an event. Your schedule fills up. Suddenly, your workouts, sleep, relationships, and personal goals take a back seat. You want to grow your impact without continually putting yourself last.
3.
Success in one area of life seems to come at the expense of another.
Your business is growing, but you're less present with the people you love. You make more time for your relationships, but feel behind professionally. You don't want to keep choosing between building something meaningful and enjoying the life you're building.
4.
There's a gap between what you teach and how you live.
You help others create powerful transformations. But you know there are areas of your own life where you're not consistently practicing what you teach. And you want to close that gap—not just for your credibility, but because you believe in the work you do.
You've built your career helping others close the gap between who they are and who they could become.
Who's helping you close that gap in your own life?
Become the Person Your Next Level Requires.
Imagine growing your impact while becoming healthier, more present, more disciplined, and more fulfilled along the way.
Imagine feeling as confident in how you're living as you do in what you're teaching.
Showing up for your clients with greater presence and conviction. Following through on the commitments you make to yourself. Building relationships that grow stronger as your responsibilities increase.
Not because you've become perfect.
But because you've become intentional about who you're becoming—and you're consistently doing the work to get there.
That's what it means to become a role model. And that's what we're building inside RISE.
THE ROLE MODEL METHOD
Becoming a Better Coach Starts With Becoming a Better Leader of Yourself.
The Role Model Method is the foundation of RISE. It focuses on four areas of growth that shape how you show up in your life, your relationships, and the work you do.
01 — BEING
How you show up.
Build the energy, emotional resilience, and daily habits to perform at your best—even when life gets demanding.
02 — BELIEF
How you see yourself and what's possible.
Strengthen your confidence, challenge limiting beliefs, and develop the mindset to pursue bigger goals.
03 — INFLUENCE
How you impact the people around you.
Become more present, communicate more effectively, and build stronger relationships with your clients, team, and loved ones.
04 — IMPACT
What you create beyond yourself.
Get clearer on your vision, lead with greater purpose, and create meaningful change that extends beyond your own success.

MEMBER TRANSFORMATIONS
Real People. Real Growth. Real Change.
Here's what our RISE members are experiencing as they put the work into practice.
More courage in business. Deeper presence with clients.
"In business, I've become more confident and courageous in putting myself out there, especially through content creation. Practicing presence has also helped me become a better listener with my clients, so I understand their needs more deeply and serve them better. RISE has helped me become more intentional, disciplined, and courageous."

Finally embraced structure, habits, and routine.
"This is the place where you focus on WHO you want to become instead of just what you need to do. If you know you're meant for more and you're ready to live on purpose, this is the place. We grow role models who make the world a better place."
Warren Gibbons
Coach for young adults and families
A North Star for daily execution.
"Setting a noble goal gave me a North Star to evaluate myself against and keep striving for. The commitment to minimum daily standards is the same kind of practice our greatest champions have committed to."
Damon Davis
Founder, Adaptive Intel
Growth in career, health, and family at once.
"The Q&A sessions are world-class. They help the person asking and usually everyone on the call. RISE has been absolutely life changing for me, and I truly believe this is the room people need to be in if they're looking for their next level of growth."
Govind Nadathur
RISE member
A room of intentional leaders.
"This is a group of intentional, caring people who are serious about growing as leaders and role models, and helping others do the same. I can't wait till you get to meet Mark!"
Donnovan

Growth you didn't know was available.

MEET YOUR COACH
Dr. Mark Matthews
Social Psychologist. Certified High Performance Coach. Committed Role Model.
Mark combines a PhD in Social Psychology from The Ohio State University with years of high-performance coaching (1000+ sessions delivered) to help ambitious people turn personal development into lasting change.
His work draws on research into identity, influence, self-worth, and human motivation, alongside hands-on experience coaching founders, leaders, and transformational professionals, one on one and from the stage.
He knows firsthand what role models make possible. As a young boy facing real adversity, the people who modeled a better path showed him that if he could move through his darkness, he could be a light someday. RISE exists to develop people whose lives become living proof of what's possible.
A psychologist who studies transformation. A coach who helps you live it.
"Mark is an incredible coach. He's knowledgeable, authentic, and genuinely cares about helping people become better versions of themselves."
