TBR-VE Trainer

Hi, I’m Mat Hayes. I am a training consultant, executive coach, and I’m also very active in the Agile community. I love improvisation, mindfulness, and listening to people. I love to bring a sense of kindness and playfulness into whatever I do. The moment I came across TBR I just knew it was going to be a passion of mine. My favorite thing to do is create immersive and interesting workshops, whilst mixing things up as much as possible. TBR has quite literally changed my life! I am trained to deliver TBR in person or virtually, and I’m always happy to help others with their workshops by building their ideas. You can find me at Mat Hayes Coaching.
