We find ourselves today in a world of always-on change, fueled by technology. Yet our common humanity remains a constant. To thrive in a changing world, we need mindful leaders, who can connect with others, and remain calm and focused while dealing with complexity and ambiguity around them. Matt Thieleman was born in Detroit and lived a few places across the world before landing back in his home state of Michigan. He spent the first nine years of his career helping businesses and organizations communicate like humans in their marketing; and has worked with clients ranging from Fortune 500 companies and world-renowned universities, to single-owner businesses. He’ll tell you he started meditating before he even knew what it was, and he thanks the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for the inspiration.
Matt founded Golden Bristle in 2015 to help leaders and teams unleash their awesome on the world. He uses mindfulness tools, Jedi mind tricks, and other methods to help his clients do their best work and live their best lives. Sometimes he’s a speaker, sometimes a consultant, sometimes a coach. It’s always a pretty fun job.
