Dr. Matthew Dunn
I'm an organizational psychologist, performance coach, and former collegiate coach who’s spent the last two decades exploring one big question: How do we create environments where people and systems truly thrive?
My work lives at the intersection of leadership, culture, and psychology. I help individuals, teams, and organizations unlock their potential by understanding the invisible forces that shape how we think, relate, and perform. From the boardroom to the locker room, I’ve seen that sustainable growth doesn’t come from quick fixes — it comes from deeper awareness, intentional learning, and the courage to evolve.
That’s why I created Organa™: The Adaptive Organization Framework — a developmental approach designed to help leaders and organizations become more resilient, responsive, and human in the face of complexity. It blends systems thinking, psychodynamics, and dialogic leadership into practical pathways for change.
My background spans education, executive coaching, Lean/Six Sigma, culture analysis, and a doctorate in Organizational Leadership Psychology. But what really drives me is partnering with people who want to lead differently — who care about performance and people.
I also host the Performance Rising podcast, where I dive into the messy, meaningful work of leadership and human systems. If you’re ready to think deeper, lead better, and build a culture that can grow through anything — let’s talk.
