Quick wins first
Immediate change. Rapid impact. Sustainable, embedded improvement.
A rhythm that lasts
Alignment of yearly, quarterly, monthly, weekly, and daily goals. The best work gets done, every day.
The direct, relationship-based approach
Proven expertise. Straight talk. Tools. Improvement that you can feel. No theatrics.
When capable teams still miss deadlines,
something deeper is wrong.
These are not people problems. They are operating-system problems.
What You're Seeing
- Slipping timelines & leadership heat
- Micromanagement creeping back in
- Too many meetings, too few decisions
- Noisy, reactive communications
- Missed milestones and board/boss pressure
What Changes When the System Is Installed
- Visible goals and a defined, realistic workload
- Clear direction and a predictable execution cadence
- Reliable output without last-minute heroics
- Communications that match the work: right audience, frequency, and channel
When the system is right, performance follows. Without it, effort just creates noise.
Triangle logic
The
Being â—† Thinking â—† Doing
triangular operating system
Each corner of the triangle reinforces the others. Improve one, and all three strengthen - installing calm, clear, confident execution.
Being → Calm
When your people are calm, they make better decisions. Fewer escalations. Less firefighting.
- • Habits and tools for inner stillness
- • Modern Stoicism and antifragility
- • Calm enables clear thinking
Thinking → Clear
Clear priorities mean reliable execution. No confusion about what matters. Predictable delivery.
- • Year → Quarter → Month → Week → Day hierarchy
- • Decision hygiene and slow-thinking techniques
- • Visual tools and mental models that remove noise
Doing → Confident
Confident execution means consistent output. Teams that deliver on time, every time.
- • Protected focus time and priority frameworks
- • Planning and review loops everyone can follow
- • Operating rhythm that compounds culturally

I've been working with Matthew Brown for 3 years, since 2023, and it has been really valuable for me and the whole team. What stands out most is how he created a space where we could slow down, think more clearly, and really get to the root of what was holding us back. I learnt how to prioritize better, when to say 'no' and organize myself with simple tools and a routine, which is supporting me in being far more efficient. I especially liked how he challenged us and helped us identify inefficiencies in our work, not only the 'big ticket items', but the little automatisms and habits that were getting in the way of prioritizing tasks the right way. It was about defining objectives in a way that made the most sense achieving company, team and personal goals. Nothing ever felt like "training" or forced, it was just real, useful advice, simple tools, and honest talks that made a difference. I'm grateful for the momentum his coaching brought to our team.

Matthew is a great facilitator who is easy to work with and puts his clients interests first. From the initial discussions to scope out what our requirement was to the ongoing support, I find that Matthew is always happy to engage and is genuinely seeking to make life a little bit better for those that he is working with. He proposes a range of simple steps that individuals and teams can employ, according to their preferences, to try and improve the way they work and interact with others. There is plenty to consider and I very much enjoy the collaborative approach in trying to make the work environment a better place. I would thoroughly recommend a discussion with Matthew in order to explore how he can support teams and individuals.

Why leaders choose this
Built for mission-critical delivery
What makes this different from other delivery solutions?
Not training days that get forgotten. Not generic tips. Systems that compound.
Measurable ROI from week one
Not training days that get forgotten. We install systems that deliver immediate, measurable improvements in delivery performance, reduced escalations, and better decision flow.
Designed for long-cycle, high-stakes work
Built specifically for teams delivering mission-critical outcomes where missed deadlines impact the business. Not generic productivity tips - operating systems that compound.
Reduces managerial load, not adds to it
Teams become self-managing. Fewer escalations, clearer priorities, predictable execution. You get visibility without micromanagement, control without constant intervention.
Who this is for
This is for teams delivering mission-critical work.
If you've built your team through force of will but you know there's another level - and you're tired of incremental gains and guesswork - you're in the right place.
Who This Is For
- Teams on mission-critical, long-cycle work where missed deadlines impact the business
- Leaders who want clarity, leverage, and systems they can monetise immediately
- Organisations ready to multiply results, not just add more hours
- Teams tired of firefighting and ready for predictable execution
Who This Is Not For
- Teams looking for tick-box L&D or "training days" that get forgotten
- Price shoppers who want the cheapest option, not the most effective
- Organisations with fixed mindsets who aren't ready for real change
- Teams who think adding more tools will solve behavioural problems
When you want a report, you call a consulting firm.
When you want systems that move the needle, you call BeingThinkingDoing.

First 14 Days
Immediate change you can measure
We are not selling sessions; we install measurable improvement in how work gets done - felt in week one.
FAQ
"We tried training before - it didn't stick."
Because it was discussion, rather than installation. We build structure and rituals into calendars and dashboards; behavioural change is measured weekly.
"We don't have time."
You're already paying the "time tax" via rework and excessive comms. A two-week install pays back in month one.
"Why not just add a tool?"
Tools amplify existing behaviour. If behaviour is reactive, tools make it worse. We fix behaviour first.
"How will we know it worked?"
We measure it via survey and data (e.g., decision latency ↓, on-time % ↑).
Your next breakthrough is closer than you think

I wanted to take a moment to thank you for the coaching sessions I received over the last few months. Your preparation of the materials and delivering the content was greatly appreciated. I found your sessions to be very informative, engaging, and enjoyable. Your approach to training was very effective, and your expertise in the subject matter was evident. You were able to explain complex concepts in a way that was easy to understand, and you encouraged participation, which made the sessions interactive and fun. My highlights were also the "2nd Brain" and the setting out my day / daily routines, these have helped me no end, and have even changed my opinion on Minute Taking!
Rachel C
Project Coordinator

Matthew always brings a refreshingly honest and straightforward approach to training sessions that's highly effective. He immediately engages a group and creates an environment where everyone can ask questions, contribute to the learning, and take away the knowledge that's most relevant to them.

The 'BeingThinkingDoing' sessions have been genuinely interesting, helpful, practical and different to others I've experienced at work. Matthew is very friendly, approachable and always willing to listen and explain. The sessions have been a useful reminder of how I should be working, while also giving me insight into how others appreciate (or don't) the guidance, tools and techniques shared. Overall, the sessions have been thought-provoking and beneficial.
