“Matt has given me great resources for the course and to my teaching and consulting practice. Better yet, the students consistently give him positive reviews and even reference him in their final E.I. papers. I would highly recommend having Dr. Lippincott come speak to either your academic classes and/or your corporate learning and development programs.”

“Matt was instrumental in developing and delivering part of the coursework for the ‘Emotional Intelligence for Teams’ pilot program at MIT this past Fall. The first-years, for whom this course was designed, found much value in Matt’s precise, relevant insights (grounded in both research and deep experience) combined with his comfortable, conversational style, which he fluidly adapted to be more relatable to a young college audience. He doesn’t just teach EI – he embodies it. The course has had a meaningful impact – and, in part due to Matt’s contributions, it is being run again in Spring.”

“Matt is dedicated to the coaching and teaching professions. He is a lifelong learner and teacher of Emotional Intelligence, mentor to new coaches and a gifted coach to his clients. In watching him teach and coach, I’ve witnessed his excellent coaching presence, deep listening and observation skills and his ability to create trust and intimacy with others. He is a generous and gifted professional.”

“Matt was my meta-coach for the Goleman EI Coaching Program. Despite his impressive Corporate Leadership, Academic Credentials and Prolific Authorship, Matt was very unassuming, respectful, and nurturing – in short, a great coach. He exemplifies the spirit and values of the ICF coaching ethics and competencies. Matt is a curious, engaged, non-judgmental, patient and caring coach. He will continue to touch and bless many lives in his journey.”
Dr. James Chua
Director, IGWT Talent & Organisation Development, Change Management at IBM
“I couldn’t have asked for a better coach. I worked with Matt in two ways; he was my coach to support me in my personal and professional development, as well as my meta-coach in getting trained to become an EI coach myself. As a coach, Matt is insightful, kind, always goes the extra mile and really has your best interest in mind. He meets you where you’re at yet gently encourages you to grow and makes you feel supported throughout the journey. Since graduating from the coach training program, he’s continued to be generous with his time to act as a mentor or give advice when asked. Although we’re not regularly in touch at the moment, I know I can reach out anytime.”

“Matt’s grasp of Emotional Intelligence is unparalleled. His mastery of the theory and research behind it is complimented by an ability to perceive all practical implications – a talent that sets his coaching apart. He cuts straight to the heart of each matter, while reframing it with a more global perspective in mind. Each of his prompts a life lesson in itself, Matt’s coaching reveals dimensions that might very well have remained hidden otherwise”

“Dr. Lippincott was instrumental in creating and delivering several parts of MIT’s prototype class Emotional Intelligence for Teams. Created for first-year students as part of the Experiential Learning Opportunities program in the fall of 2020, the class was highly successful, with strong evaluations and, more importantly, 64% of students requesting to return as mentors for the spring class. Matthew contributed ideas to a number of key modules, including EI for teamwork and Conflict Management. In addition, he delivered well-received talks for the modules on Conscientiousness, Accountability, Resilience, and Continuous Growth. Matthew contributed important elements to the curriculum based on his own research and teaching. He delivered a pair of cogent, accessible, congenial talks. And he was a delightful collaborator throughout.”
