Matterlab’s Commitment to Equity

All people deserve access to fair and just opportunities to participate in society, to achieve economic empowerment, and to build the life they envision and are willing to work toward, regardless of their background or identity. We believe fairness, justice, and dignity are crucial components of equity, and we also believe they are hard to define. Rather than belabor precise definitions, we lean on one another and others in conversation by interrogating:

In this decision or pursuit, is fairness present? Is justice present? Is dignity present? Will equity expand, contract, or remain unchanged?

Our Core Values

Impact

We prioritize what will have the greatest positive and compounding impact.

Perspectives

We get to know people and their experiences and channel that knowledge into our work.

Innovation

Creativity is a habit, not a trait, and we believe everything is figureoutable.

Clarity

We seek simplicity on the far side of complexity.

Collaboration

We pursue close partnership with mission-aligned leaders who are eager to co-create.

Time

We plan ahead, prioritize deep work,
and resist rushing.

Curiosity

We ask excellent questions, because digging deeper unlocks more learning.

Our Team

Communication is a core competency of great leaders. Our team of experts provides customized coaching to strengthen every facet of your communication — written, spoken, non-verbal, and even visual — to advance your leadership skills and impact.
