Brian D. Matthews – CEC

Hello, I’m Brian aka “The Unlit Leader.”

I’m dedicated to providing you with the resources needed to live authentically, foster effective communication, and align your endeavors with your core values.

In the myriad roles I embody—black father, husband, leader, serviceman, and businessman—I’ve garnered profound insights into the unique challenges and opportunities men encounter. My journey of self-leadership is ever-evolving, striving each day to surpass the last, learning from missteps and creating strategies to avoid future pitfalls.

Recognizing that leadership originates at home, I’ve navigated the challenges inherent in family life, often finding them more intricate than those in our professional spheres. These experiences fuel my dedication to empowering men like you in mastering self-leadership across careers, relationships, and families. At Parami Wellness, our mission is to equip you with the tools to live authentically, enhance communication, and align your actions with core values.

With over 25 years of service in the U.S. Army, specializing in intelligence and cyber branches, and as the leadership coach and owner of Unlit Leadership Coaching, I bring a wealth of experience to the table. My educational background includes undergraduate degrees in Administrative Management and Communications, an MBA in Project Management, and a plethora of certifications in project management, I.T., and cybersecurity.

In the realm of coaching, I am a certified executive coach from the Center of Executive Coaching and an Everything DiSC Certified Facilitator and Authorized Partner. But my true credentials stem from a life dedicated to self-leadership, continuous improvement, and personal development.

Beyond coaching, I have a penchant for technology and enjoy indulging in a good bourbon with the occasional cigar. Star Trek, particularly The Next Generation, holds a special place in my heart, representing the pinnacle of cinematic achievement. And just to stir the pot a little—DC should indeed leave the blockbuster movies to Marvel! On a lighter note, I’ve embraced the vibrant world of comic collecting, embarking on this adventure at 40!

Let’s embark on a journey of self-leadership together, embracing challenges and unlocking potential in every facet of life.
