Matt Kovatchis, CPCC, is a nationally recognized mental health speaker and executive coach. He delivers inspirational keynotes and facilitates transformative workshops for universities, corporations, and leadership teams across the country – focusing on stress management, self-compassion, and heart-led leadership.

Before launching his speaking career, Matt spent seven years in corporate banking at multinational banks including PNC and Capital One. Externally, he looked like a massive success. Internally, he felt empty and alone. That disconnect led him on a journey of emotional healing and self-discovery – ultimately revealing a deeper purpose: to help others navigate the same struggles he once endured.

Based in Chicago, IL, when he’s not speaking or coaching, you’ll find him exploring a new coffee shop, enjoying Japanese sweet potatoes, or hanging out with his rescue dog, Patty.
