"Like many Chief Executive Officers of robust companies, my work is complex, intense, demanding and difficult. I must rely on organized and expedient systems, processes and people. Learning Matthew Cornell's incredibly smart program has afforded me a better grasp on my work and allowed me, for the first time in years, to the manage the company from a far more elevated and organized vantage point. The training was so helpful and groundbreaking (I slept a full night for the first time in a decade) I hired Matt to coach our managers. Now my leadership team and I have a mutually understood touchstone for systemic organization. I have a helpful, structured, approach to support me accomplish my work. I recommend his program to any individual or business without hesitation. If you want to feel in control and excited about your work: hire Matt to train you and/or your staff in his program for personal organization and productivity."
-- Mirran Raphaely, Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Hauschka Skin Care
"Matt Cornell is a great guide whose skillfully designed, informative, and interactive workshops offer tested research and dozens of practical suggestions for every college teacher who juggles multiple roles and tasks. I would recommend Matt's counsel to all who are concerned with supporting and enhancing faculty productivity and well-being."
-- Mary Deane Sorcinelli, Associate Provost for Faculty Development, Director, Office of Faculty Development, University of Massachusetts
"Your training has had an incredible impact on me. Thanks again for helping me get organized. I don't dread Monday mornings any more because I have cleaned out my in boxes on Friday afternoons and know what is in store! My brain is free to be creative, now that I write everything on one of my lists. I am a better project manager, because I actually know what stage all of my projects are in, and actively move them forward."
-- Amy Reesman, Director of Education & Training, Dr. Hauschka Skin Care
"I had several good take-aways from your seminar. I now have one 'in-box' instead of the desk, chair, pc keyboard, taped to my door, etc. And my 'todo' list is specific tacks rather than concepts!"
-- Sandra L. Anderson, Director, Campus Services, University of Massachusetts
"I worked with Matt to implement and learn from his innovative daily planning methods. I found his techniques practical and effective. They have helped me accomplish more in small windows of time, 'unstick' old tasks and projects, and feel better about my work process. And you couldn't ask for a more positive, supportive, and knowledgeable coach. Overall, Matt helped me significantly improve my workflow process, even though I already had years of experience with GTD, Covey, and related methods."
-- Abe Crystal, Chief Research and Strategy Officer, MoreBetterLabs, Inc.
"Excellent concepts and tools. Activities kept the course moving and dynamic. Much appreciated were the interactions with co-workers during the workshop - invaluable. Your passion for teaching and belief in the concepts is obvious and inspiring."
-- Heather Cahill, Chief Project Manager, Dr. Hauschka Skin Care
"I'm answering this immediately as it takes less than two minutes. My inbox and outbox have nothing else in them. My desk and table have nothing on them. My mind is empty, too; and I might get fired because it looks like I'm never busy. Oh, well..."

"Thank you very much for your productivity presentation at NESEA, the lively discussion, and for our one-on-one meeting afterward. As a result of our time together, I came away with a major shift in my thinking - adding projects as an intermediate organization level - which gave my work a big increase in clarity. Thanks for helping so much in such a short time! I can only imagine how one of your two day "intensives" would help."
-- Chris Mason, Education Director, Northeast Sustainable Energy Association
"Matt, I am SO happy. I'm being so productive (and am less stressed)... Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!"
