As part of IHG Hotels & Resorts, this was an excellent and very engaging training experience. The sessions were well structured, practical, and easy to follow, making Lean Six Sigma Green Belt much clearer and easier to understand in a real working environment.
Matt was outstanding throughout the training. He was very knowledgeable, approachable, and highly engaging throughout the sessions. He explained the concepts clearly and helped us truly understand what Lean Six Sigma Green Belt is and how to apply it in our day-to-day roles, not just in theory.
It was also great to build a strong bond with the rest of the group and share ideas and experiences. Overall, a very positive and inspiring programme. I’m genuinely excited to continue and apply what we’ve learned.
Matt Sims ran a fantastic Green Belt training programme and did a great job tailoring everything to hospitality operations. He made Lean Six Sigma tools easy to understand and genuinely practical for use in a hotel environment.
Over the six days, Matt was friendly, supportive, and always happy to answer questions or help us apply the tools to real-life challenges. His hands-on experience and coaching approach made the programme very easy to follow. I’d definitely recommend Matt to anyone looking to develop Lean Six Sigma skills.

Matt was my instructor during my Black Belt coaching journey. His enthusiasm and know how about the subject were mindblowing. From the very first session it was clear that he genuinely enjoys teaching and supporting others to grow. His energy was contagious and even when we were dealing with complex topics he kept the group engaged and motivated. Right trainer for the right job.

You’ve done the hard work, and you should be proud of what you’ve achieved. I’m glad I could play a part in that progression.

Just completed my Lean Six Sigma green belt training with Matt, and with his help, I passed with high scores.
Lean Six Sigma was new to me and lots of information to take in. Matt made the course fun which made learning more enjoyable, and I was surprised with how much I was able to retain.
Friendly, easy to get on, and knowledgeable. I highly recommend his services.

Thank you so much for sharing this Srikar. I’ve really enjoyed working with you, and it is great to hear that my coaching landed in a way that felt engaging and useful.
I always try to make the learning real and enjoyable, we absorb more information when we make an emotional connection to the message, so knowing that the examples and the atmosphere helped bring everything to life genuinely means a lot. Your valuable input along the way undoubtedly contributed to the experience for everyone.
I am delighted to hear you now feel confident taking the tools back into your work. Keep asking questions and keep up the great work!

I had the pleasure recently of being coached by Matt on my Lean Six Sigma Black Belt journey. He made the hard seem easy, the dull seem exciting and turned any doubt into belief! His positive delivery, relative and encouraging engagement with our group makes it easy to see why Matt is an award winning leader in all things continuous improvement and Lean and deserves all the recognition and accolades he’s got! If you’re looking to take the next steps on your professional journey in this field then you won’t be disappointed! What should I sign up for next?

Tash, thank you so much for this. It is a generous message and I truly appreciate it.
Making the learning real and relatable is something that I put a lot of focus into. Breaking down the tougher concepts with real stories from the Gemba, games, rhymes, and examples from industries far beyond manufacturing so the tools feel practical rather than theoretical. You leaned into that approach brilliantly. Coaching only works when both sides show up, and you certainly did.
As for your next step, there’s plenty you can build on, the sky's the limit! I'm always here if you ever need anything.

If you're looking to find about more about how Lean can help you (it's been hugely beneficial to me in a healthcare role) then I couldn't recommend Matt highly enough as the person to guide you on that journey, As well as having that deep technical knowledge you'd expect from a high quality lean trainer, he is also a very engaging and empathic coach who works in an informal style that will put you at ease immediately. You'll grow and you'll learn without even realising it's happening! I will certainly be working with him again!

Thank you Tom, this is really lovely to hear.
What I enjoyed most in our sessions was the way we could take something theory heavy and turn it into something relatable by talking it through, and using examples that actually mean something in real life.
You’ve done brilliantly on this journey, and it’s been great to see your confidence grow. Here's hoping that our paths cross again soon.

The Ever-So-Lean online Green Belt course delivered by Matt was excellent. The clear videos, audio learning, podcast links and practical examples made it easy to follow and apply. Highly recommend for anyone wanting flexible, high-quality Lean Six Sigma training!

I’m absolutely thrilled that my delivery style connected so well with you. My aim is always to strip away as much of the noise and possible, bring the tools to life with real examples, and make the learning feel natural rather than heavy. Hearing that it made a difference for you is brilliant.
Your attitude throughout the training played a huge part. You listened, questioned, and approached every topic, tool, and method with real intent. That made the whole journey enjoyable from my side as well.

Matt designed my business logo and delivered a brilliant, high-quality product with minimal hassle or delay. His professionalism, creativity, and efficiency made the entire process smooth and enjoyable. I’m thrilled with the final result and highly recommend Matt to anyone seeking standout design work done right.
We were delighted to have Matt chairing a session at our annual flagship conference, Quality Live - and what a brilliant session it was too. Matt and his fellow panellists took the session brief and turned into an engaging, entertaining session which was mentioned by many delegates as being a highlight of the day. Thank you Matt for bringing your enthusiasm and creativity to our event, it was a pleasure to work with you and I am sure it won't be the last time our professional paths cross.
Matt’s work goes far beyond traditional Lean and Six Sigma circles. As a guest on his podcast, I was amazed by his ability to make continuous improvement engaging, human, and accessible to everyone. What truly stands out for me is his commitment to making this methodology relevant beyond the boardroom. His incredible work introducing Continuous Improvement and problem-solving skills to school children, he is investing on young leaders that will make a difference in years to come. That’s the kind of leadership we need to shape the future.
I’m also particularly interested in the Lean Leadership Study Tour he runs ( if you haven’t signed up yet, you absolutely should :) . It’s a rare opportunity to learn from the best while seeing Lean in action. Matt is a genuine leader in this space and someone I highly recommend connecting with.
My experience with Matt on his podcast was one of the highlights of my career in continuous improvement. His mindset is refreshing and modern. It's easy to pick up ideas from him and use them. I believe Matt is the perfect match if you want to set up or improve your Lean journey. I am sure his enthusiasm, professionalism, and passion will be picked up by many others. A real pleasure to work with you, Matt. Kind regards, Michel
