Find your path
Where are you in your career?
Your next step should fit your ambitions and the life you want outside of work. Start with the path that feels closest to where you are now.
Meet your coach
Hi, I’m Matt.
I spent the next decade after starting my career in corporate America climbing the ranks at Starbucks, Amazon, and Google. I’ve had a heck of a ride, and I created Woodchip Park to help others navigate their own.
My experience gives us a practical starting point for talking about careers and leadership. But coaching with me starts with the person behind the résumé.
You matter. Your family matters. Your hobbies matter.
Outside of work, you’ll find me with my kids, on a trail run, or in the garden. I believe a good career should make room for the rest of life.
Beyond the title
Work is part of your story.

Why I do this
A career should make room for a life.
My time at Starbucks, Amazon, and Google taught me a lot about navigating corporate life. Becoming a dad changed how I thought about success. I created Woodchip Park to help people build careers that reflect who they are and what matters beyond work.

Find your direction. Tell your story.
Whether you’re starting your career or moving into a new field, getting in starts with understanding what you bring and where you want to go. We turn your experience, strengths, and interests into a focused approach to opportunities.
- Clarify the roles and environments that fit you.
- Build relationships with intention.
- Prepare your résumé and interview stories with confidence.
Move Up
Grow with intention.
You’re already doing good work. Now you want to grow your influence, take on more responsibility, or become a more effective leader. We focus on the habits, relationships, and decisions that help you progress without losing sight of the rest of your life.
- Understand what your next level requires.
- Navigate stakeholders and communicate your impact.
- Develop a leadership approach that feels like you.
Move On
Explore what comes next.
Sometimes the next step is a different direction. If your work no longer fits, we make space to understand what has changed, what you want to protect, and what possibilities are worth exploring. You don’t need every answer before you begin.
- Recognize what is working—and what is costing you.
- Explore a new role, field, or way of working.
- Build practical next steps around your real-life priorities.
