Real words from real members.

“As a business owner, peer-advisory member, and Convene Chair, Matt knows the complexities of building business, leading well, and having a family. Matt has great insight to marketing and is a great Convene Chair providing excellent leadership and coaching to Convene Board members. He has a strong faith that leads his decision making, leadership, and family.”

“I am a member of Matt's Convene peer advisory group and have also benefitted from his one-on-one coaching. In Convene, we engage in structured conversations about our business challenges, supporting each other as we work through these issues through a spiritual perspective. As a facilitator, Matt excels at managing group dynamics--skillfully balancing participation between those who contribute easily and often and some whose voices that are quieter but no less meaningful. Beyond addressing business challenges, our group offers a space to explore the deeper meaning of our personal and professional contributions. Matt consistently shares valuable insights from business leaders and books, offers opportunities for strategic planning and reflection, and provides practical frameworks for achieving both personal and professional success. His passion for helping business owners and leaders grow their organizations, strengthen their family relationships, and make a positive impact on their communities is evident in everything he does.”

“It’s nice to have a trusted advisor in your professional network. Matt Deutschman has become one of those people for me. Through Convene, Matt leads a community of business owners who are committed to growing their organizations while staying grounded in their values. The conversations go far beyond revenue, hiring, or strategy. They challenge you to think about leadership, stewardship, accountability, and the kind of business you're building. Running a law firm means making decisions every day that affect clients, team members, and the future of the practice. Those decisions aren't always straightforward, which is why I value having trusted advisors who ask thoughtful questions, offer honest perspective, and aren't afraid to challenge my thinking. I've always believed in the idea of the three-legged stool. One leg is building a healthy business. Another is continuing to grow professionally. The third is staying anchored in your values and the life you're building outside of work. When one of those legs weakens, everything becomes less stable. Matt has helped reinforce the importance of keeping all three in balance. His leadership has been a valuable reminder that success isn't measured only by growth, but also by leading with intention and staying true to the principles that guide your decisions. Every business owner benefits from having people who help them become better leaders, not just more successful business owners. Thank you, Matt, for your leadership and the community you've built.”
