I’d like to thank Steve Matley for the wonderful experience of participating in his mastermind. Steve has a rare gift of quickly developing the connections of today's world, from the real world hustling on the street to being able to coordinate the rigors of regulatory demands. Steve is able to bundle your thinking, focusing on how to deal with today's challenges. I can’t express my appreciation for the time I was able to spend learning from him. Thank you, Steve

I met Steve when I first heard him speak at a local toastmasters. His speech was so captivating that I instantly wanted to get to know him and learn more about the journey he's been taking. Steve is really humble, he's taken countless time out of his own schedule to mentor me in public speaking and entrepreneurship. His mastery in public speaking has helped me become a more confident motivational speaker to an audience of over 200. From him, I’ve learned how to compose persuasive and compelling stories. He’s also helped broaden my knowledge in branding a business and how to negotiate business deals with more clarity in legal issues and problems to look out for. The deep passion and interests in what he does has helped me better understand my own passion and interests - which I believe is the core to success. Steve has helped me grow to become a better person professionally as well as personally. I am very grateful to have met Steve!

I have worked with Steve for many years and he helped me to re-organize and build IVBCF. Under Steve's guidance, IVBCF grew to a level of quality and prestige that was unimaginable just a few years ago. What I learned from Steve through this process has helped me to establish and grow my other business enterprises. I have also grown and improved both personally and professionally by applying the knowledge and skills that I learned from working with him. I feel blessed by his leadership which resulted in a clear purpose, values and vision for IVBCF, resulting in easier decision making with a level of confidence that provided peace of mind. In addition to his coaching and advising, Steve personally handled many of our difficult administrative challenges including negotiations, legal compliance, member and client relations, partnering initiatives, contract development and management, event production and coordination, media representation, and branding of our organization. I've worked with and heard from many other coaches and experts,who lack a proven track record in their own businesses. Steve doesn't just teach sound leadership and management principles, he lives them.

I have worked with Steve on a community project involving business-business connections and co-presented with him in public on a few occasions. Steve is a solid presenter of ideas, especially when it comes to his understanding of business and what it takes to succeed. He is flat-out knowledgeably when it comes to understanding what it takes to structure a business for success, how it relates to its community and how to avoid common pitfalls. As a presenter, Steve has a knack for delivering in a relaxed, entertaining and professional manner. Whatever you set Steve on, he'll do it in a thorough manner and will nearly always add a little humor along the way.
