Experienced communication advice to help your company thrive
Internal communication is where culture is built—or broken.
Hi, I’m Craig Mattson, and I work with mid-level leaders such as program directors, managers, and team leads—anyone who “leads from the middle”—helping them navigate pressure from senior leadership while supporting and motivating their teams. Through practical strategies and real-world coaching, my goal is to help professionals strengthen the communication practices that shape trust, clarity, and culture every day.
-
Virtual or In-Person Consultations
The practices I’m eager to share with you and your team draw on original research among company presidents, program directors, for-profit and nonprofit CEOs, and clergy. These practices will equip you to fresh forms of conversation and story in your organization and its community.
-
Holistic Approach
It’s easy to compartmentalize profits from people-care. But let’s talk about how to integrate strategy and wellbeing across your organization.
-
Flexible Format
As an experienced educator, I offer coaching and consultancy through highly participatory workshops, informal lunch & learn conversations or TED-Talk-styled sessions.

Brian Paige – Vice President of IT & CIO
“Three words: Engaging, Energetic, Enlightening. Craig Mattson delivers clear and mature wisdom about the nature and practice of human communication in the most delightful way, leaving an impression that outlasts the session. From his first word to his concluding remarks, he engages his audience with energetic thinking and activities, bringing enlightenment that only comes from his lifetime of commitment to his field. Seriously, this is the one session that people will talk about after the event is over.”
“When my former employer was acquired, I was suddenly navigating a new job, team, culture, responsibilities, and modes of communication. Craig’s coaching was incredibly helpful for finding my footing. He helped me approach the newness with curiosity and openness while also helping me reflect on how I could shape a fulfilling work life longer term.”

"Craig spent one hour with a group of mid-level and front line leaders who were experiencing frustration around some recent changes that had occurred in our organization. I surveyed that group a week later and 40% said that they had implemented some of the techniques Craig had highlighted and reported that it had made a positive difference to their effectiveness as a leader, and ultimately their own job satisfaction. In my experience it is rare to get that level of return for investment."
“Craig equipped our team with knowledge and vocabulary to strengthen our communication. Bringing awareness to different modes of communication will allow us to more effectively work together as a team and support each other in our respective roles. “
Emily Reisler, Instructional Designer, Calvin University

“Craig worked with me to develop an internal communication strategy through evaluating my organization's current culture and processes. The coaching experience was extremely helpful and I always looked forward to our meetings. He asks deep questions that got me thinking in new ways and served as a great thought partner in work that can often be a solo-experience. 10/10 would recommend to other chief of staffs.”
