Core Obstacles Removal Workshop

(Level 1 –
Value Clarification)

Tackle the right problems

Whether it’s a drop in sales, production issues, or high staff turnover, every organisation faces substantial business challenges. Solving these effectively is an essential skill for the leadership team to ensure the business remains sustainable and continues to grow.

However, sometimes founders do not know how to address these obstacles. They have tried various solutions with little to no success and have hit a wall. Rather than dragging these issues like dead weights for months, leaders can benefit from bringing in a fresh pair of eyes to ask the right questions and provide a different approach. This helps tackle challenges rapidly, allowing them to focus on other areas of their business and not miss out on opportunities.

Successful Relationships

Working with Matt was one of the best decisions for our leadership team.

“Working with Matt in 42Interactive’s Founder Shareholder Alignment Workshop was an absolute pleasure and one of the best decisions for our leadership team as a beacon of clarity for our company.

Matt’s approach to working with our leadership team was as effective as it was enjoyable. Matt brings a rare combination of insightful analysis and practical strategy that has helped us refine our business structure, planning, future clarity and areas for growth, and his skill to facilitate critical thinking while maintaining a collaborative atmosphere is remarkable.

His expertise is a must for any company looking to run a 1 day workshop to align, improve and drive meaningful change, and his skills for drawing out information in a relaxed yet effective manner have helped shape the future of our agency – which is why I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend his services.”

What Founders say about Matt

Capital raising, scaling, readying for sale and maximising value

“I remember meeting Matt for the first time at CUB Business Club and he lights up a room with his energy and passion.

I was looking for advice, mentoring and guidance in regards to capital raising, scaling a business, readying it for a sale and maximising value, and Matt delivered in spades.

His incredible knowledge, experience and ability to communicate even advanced ideas in digestible and workable pieces is extraordinary. He helped guide my businesses to a successful capital raise and now continues to help scale it.

I now consider Matt a good friend and colleague and I’d absolutely recommend Matt to anyone looking for business advise especially in the growth, scaling and selling phases.”

  • Peter Heery
  • Owner at Cascade Studios
Matt helped me add millions of dollars of value to the business.

“Matt’s experience in corporate, business optimisation and NLP/ EQ greatly assisted in resolving both shareholder and team issues, and in completing a transaction his pitching, negotiation and contract skills helped me add millions of dollars of value to the business.

His real world experience from scaling businesses and preparing them for a successful exit was a particular stand out to me. I was in the process of deciding whether it was viable to sell, and after working with Matt on preparing my businesses for a successful transaction it was evident that I had found someone who could assist me in navigating through the complexities of a potential sale.

I would recommend Matt to any business owner needing assistance with growing and scaling a business, strategy formulation, deal preparation and negotiation as well as preparing for a successful exit. ”

  • Julian Grasso
  • Managing Director at 30XY Group
Adding millions to the sale price

“I have had the utmost pleasure over the last few years on working with Matt for mutual clients with his work on preparing companies for rapid growth and sale.

Matt has an incredible mix of business experience, knowledge, empathy and coaching skills that provide business owners with immeasurable comfort and guidance during their all so important journey.

Matt fills a gap that traditional corporate financiers, accountants and lawyers do not cater for and the results he provides are, in my view, not only many hundreds of thousands more dollars or even millions more on the sale price but also the confidence that the businesses will be in the best shape possible to maximise the chances of the sale transaction completing.”

Matt guided us through all of this with empathy, insight, wisdom, charisma, tact

“IIMBE engaged with Matt and Invigour during a pivotal time in our growth. Due to a rapidly expanding client base and all the stresses and strains that brings, as we went from start up mode to an established, mature business.

Matt guided us through all of this with empathy, insight, wisdom, charisma, tact and challenged us to move forward with confidence.

Matt supported IIMBE with not only direction but he brought invaluable processes and tools to support the development of a concise, staged implementation path that was perfect for our stage of growth.

I would highly recommend Matt to any organisation seeking to go to the next level. We will continue to work with Matt over the coming years and value his advice enormously.”

  • Steve Appleby
  • Managing Director at IIMBE
Expert in structure, governance, growth, and scale

“I had the pleasure of working with Matt on a project to review, modernise and provide recommendations in relation to governance, structure and its related documentation framework.

Effectively blending legal and commercial aspects – his ability to approach complex problems with fresh and creative angles was truly impressive, with a level of thoroughness that brought immense value to our project. What also sets him apart is not just his dedication but also his genuine concern for the individuals involved. He takes time to get to know the people he works with, understanding their personal as well as professional needs.

I am grateful for the positive impact he had on our project, and I wholeheartedly recommend Matt to anyone seeking to calibrate their business for structure, governance, growth, and scale. His expertise, innovative thinking, and genuine care for people make him an invaluable asset in achieving organisational success, as does his extensive network of top-of-market resources and contacts.”

  • Stephen Clout
  • CEO at Ardea Investment Management
Matt was incredible in his approach to achieve so much in only two workshops

“We needed to (re)align on our purpose, commit to a revised organisational structure to help us lead a path to growth and investment, and gain an understanding where the shareholders should invest their time and energy to be more ‘founder inspired; not founder led’.

Matt was incredible in his approach to achieve all the above in only two workshops over a limited time. He was able to get to the heart of our anchors that held us back, help setting the business up for future success, and based on our personality types and capabilities – where the shareholders needed to play to their strengths. We developed a bespoke governance model, a new operating blueprint enabling more efficient decisions making, and a clearer accountability framework built for scale.

I can’t thank Matt enough for his wealth of experience, tenacity in driving the right outcomes, and emotional intelligence to get the shareholders to have tough but respectful conversations and get us united for the future of our business at scale.”

Matt has made an indelible imprint on my life, and I cannot recommend him highly enough

“Matt possesses an incredible combination of talents. His understanding of the world of business is unmatched and his ability to solve challenges that others would deem impossible is truly remarkable. He always brings a new perspective that others hadn’t considered and will cut straight to the core of what needs to be done, and why.

But beyond his impeccable business sense, Matt is also a people person. He builds trust quickly and long-term, meaningful connections soon follow. He’s empathetic and really listens – even to the things that aren’t said out loud. It’s what makes him such an effective leader and a wonderful shepherd for those on their journey through the business world.

Matt has made an indelible imprint on my life, and I cannot recommend him highly enough.”

He redefines service by going the extra mile

“We brought Matt in before the Corporate Advisors, to not only help us to select them though a tender, but to primarily to assess and develop our readiness.

For me the major differentiator was on the strategic plan communication, readiness health check and the mindset required for the process.

Matt offers practical guidance and real life experience to deal with the various steps ahead of and through the deal.”

  • Pedro Carrilho
  • Managing Director & Founder of PhoenixDX
His engaging, challenging, and articulate approach makes it a great experience to work together

Matt helped tailor my approach to business pitching, deal structuring, de-risking raises, public speaking, EQ Comms, and performance management and introduced me to a range of influences and people to support me.

I cannot recommend him more highly

“I like to be sharp and to the point for my recommendation for Matt Joy. The service offered by Matthew via his company Invigour is brilliant. If you are on the fence (or never considered the value of a consultant to add value) then I would like to change your mind.

Some people do their job well. There are then types of people who do their job well and invest emotion, pride and friendship into their work. Matt is the latter.

Matt has injected knowledge and directly and indirectly identified gaps in my business. He has also injected enthusiasm into my mindset.

I cannot recommend him more highly.”

  • Charles Liu
  • Director of Swift Insurance, Owner of Cubic Promote
Matt challenged us to raise the bar in our vision and execution

“Matt has my highest recommendations to anyone who owns their own business… no matter what stage you are on your journey.

We met 6 months ago when our company was little more than an idea. Since then he has given us invaluable and clear advice on how we can strengthen our foundations and has challenged us raise the bar in our vision and execution.

Above this, and more importantly, Matt listens and is interested to learn about us and our story. He is an absolute pleasure to work with, and someone I am now proud to call a friend.”

  • Cassandra Sasso
  • Chief Executive Officer at Wander
We achieved a huge amount of work in a fraction of the time

“Through our shared membership at CUB, I met Matt and was immediately impressed with his intelligence, expertise, and considered approach to any discussion. Our conversation quickly progressed to realise that Matt had the skills, expertise and ability to help guide and coach me through a pivotal business and personal transition.

Most valuable was his ability to listen deeply, question intelligently, filter, consolidate and playback the thinking and insights to ensure alignment was unparalleled. It meant that we achieved a huge amount of work in a fraction of the time, but more importantly, we went deeper and more expansively into what makes me tick and what is worthy of my future energy and endeavours.”

His skills are numerous such as in strategy, negotiation and business scaling

“I knew Matt through one of my business colleagues, and met him at a conference. We started working together shortly after and from the start he made an impact. His skills are numerous such as in strategy, negotiation and business scaling. Personally he became a close friend and trusted advisor fast, providing an invaluable check and balance which I believe is essential for any CEO.

His role and experience with us ranged from winning new business, strategy through to international investor negotiations, as well being a friend and a coach / mentor.

Given his clear results and proven relationship with me I would have no hesitation in recommending him to any company looking for fast growth, strategy, investment or exit. Or if you just need a coach.“
