Matt Purcell

Today, Matt Purcell is a regular guest on popular television programs Australia wide, an Australian of the Year Nominee, a social media influencer, an accomplished speaker, author, and life coach, however, Matt’s life wasn’t always one of accolade and success. In fact, Matt was born in a small town in South Korea called Cholla-Bukto to a young mother who was unable to raise him.

After giving birth to her son, the young mother put him up for adoption, which led to Matt being adopted into the family he knows and loves today.

Understanding how fortunate he is to have been adopted into an Australian family, and raised in a loving and safe environment, Matt’s life goal has been to give back, and to
help young people who might feel as though they don’t fit in to learn to understand themselves, and overcome the negative emotions and mindsets that can hold them back.

Matt is a qualified Life Coach and a successful business owner. In a life-coaching session, Matt works with people to identify and work towards personal goals, with a focus on objectively changing your decisions, habits, and mindset to put themselves on the most direct path to achieving their goals.

Further to life coaching sessions, Matt is often invited to schools, training centres, and youth events to speak to teenagers, and younger Australians about understanding mindfulness, mental health, goal setting, and focusing on positive decision making. He is an in-demand speaker, who is often invited to deliver keynote presentations at conferences, or seminars across the country.
