Matthew Laskowski's story
What motivated you to transition from hospitality to executive coaching?
My transition from hospitality to executive coaching was driven by a desire to make a deeper, more personal impact on individuals. While running Indra Inn, I discovered my passion for helping others through conversation and support, particularly in guiding men towards a healthier, more balanced life. Coaching allows me to extend that support beyond the boundaries of the hotel and into the broader business community.

How do you stay updated and continue growing in your professional field?
I stay updated by continuously educating myself through reading, attending workshops, and engaging with other professionals in the coaching industry. I also place a strong emphasis on self-reflection and feedback from my clients, which helps me to adapt and improve my coaching techniques. Additionally, I draw inspiration from the natural surroundings of Costa Rica, which reinforces my belief in the importance of balance and mindfulness in both personal and professional life.
