Lead Yourself First
To lead people effectively, it is crucial to understand yourself and where your your blind spots as a leader are. In this process, you’ll get out of your own way and build leadership through determination, discipline, motivation, and grit.
Powerful Communication
A high-impact process where leaders assert themselves, speak with confidence, and use their voice to build trust, respect, and meaningful team connections.
Working as a Team
A powerful team-building process that unites leaders and teams around a shared vision—building trust, alignment, and collaboration that drives behavioral change.
Voicing Your Opinions
An interactive process where leaders voice their opinions in real-world situations that challenge perspective, sharpen clarity, and draw out conviction and power.
Together we can unlock the edge your organization has been missing — the hands-on, uncomfortable, behavior-shaping work that lecture-style trainings simply can’t deliver.

The Backstory
Matthew Anders is a seasoned entrepreneur and leadership developer who believes real leadership isn’t learned in a lecture - it’s built through action, self-awareness, and consistently stepping beyond one’s comfort zone. He began his career at 19 with Cutco, mastering in-home sales and surpassing $2.1 million in career sales before going on to build three multi-million-dollar organizations and coach thousands of leaders across the Direct Sales industry over the last 19+ years.
A competitive bodybuilder in the NPC Open division working toward his IFBB Pro Card, and a former dance major at Cornish College of the Arts, Matthew brings a rare blend of discipline, creativity, and high-performance coaching to his work. Through Liminal Edge Leadership, he helps organizations unlock the edge most leadership programs never reach - transforming information into actual behavioral change that strengthens identity, shapes culture, and drives measurable growth.
Testimonials
Trusted by top professionals
Course: Working as a Team & Voicing Your Opinion
"Matt's leadership training was THE MOST IMPACTFUL learning experience I have ever encountered. His honest and direct approach pushes you to get out of your comfort zone so that you WANT TO GROW! The eye-opening exercises showed where I was stuck and how to think differently. I had so many “AHA” moments and already more confidence in my leadership skills."
Sheila Page
Owner of MSU Industries Construction
Course: Powerful Communication & Working as a Team
"Going into Matt’s Powerful Communication training, I wasn’t exactly sure what I needed to improve. I was most challenged in my listening skills and realized that true communication is far more about listening than talking. I learned to listen deeply, ask better questions, and create space for others to be heard."
Leah Kundert
Wellness Coach & Licensed Aesthetician
Course: Powerful Communication & Voicing Your Opinion
"When I heard powerful communication I was thinking I was going to get the right words to say, but the listening was center stage. The whole training and exercises were a very powerful way to unearth the areas I needed to improve, where I was successful and self revelation on where I needed to modify or change."
Rose Cundall
Former Senior VP of Finances & Entrepreneur
Leading Yourself First & Powerful Communication
"Going through Matt’s training, I realized how often I rely on intuitive leadership, and how that doesn’t always translate to others. What stood out most was how he focused on developing our strengths rather than over-focusing on weaknesses. This training truly lives up to its name, and Matt creates a space where growth feels both strategic and deeply personal."
Laura Mak Quist
MS, Founder of The Yoga FitLife
Course: Powerful Communication
"I love self development but needed help with my self confidence and self talk. This amazing training helped me connect with others and get out of my comfort zone. I left feeling more confident, bold, and empowered than I have been in many years. I realized I am not very good to my inner self, and this day with Matt made a world of difference in my mindset."
Natalie Wilks
Retired Speech-Language Pathologist
Course: Voicing Your Opinion & Powerful Communication
"I was a bit uncomfortable when I first heard we would be participating in every exercise, not knowing what to expect. I decided that if I was to grow, nothing less than 100% was acceptable. I learned to use my voice differently and became keenly aware that I was not as good a listener as I thought, and that being truthful is better than avoiding difficult conversations."
Kim Edmonds Woulfe
Occupational Therapist
Course: Lead Yourself First & Powerful Communication
"I wanted to become a better leader for my team and develop skills that would take me from being a cheerleader to someone who could develop other leaders. I was challenged to show up fully, be seen, and be vulnerable. I realized we are all just people struggling with many of the same issues and I am just as worthy of success and capable of leading as anyone else. I came out of it feeling empowered and confident, and it was really FUN!"
Kendra Stringer
Coach & Co-owner of Belle Marie Winery
Course: Voicing Your Opinion
"I loved this training because it focused on my inner beliefs and challenged me to enter any space in life with confidence in who I was and what I offered. I saw areas that still needed improvement and recognized how old recorded messages were impacting my decision-making, listening, and communication. I walked out more confident and more aware of areas to continue working on."
Raelyn Latchaw Ragan
Fitness Instructor
Course: Powerful Communication & Leading Yourself First
"The training challenged me and humbled me, bringing to light that I need to be a better listener, ask more questions, and refrain from talking unless necessary. I realized I am uncomfortable speaking in front of large groups and need to be more conscious of my nonverbal communication. My expectations were met with tools to use in the future and hope that I will improve my communication with practice and intention."
Beth Spangle
RN, Acupuncturist, Yoga & Breath-work Instructor
Course: Voicing Your Opinion & Powerful Communication
"I quickly learned that I needed to get out of my insecure thoughts and completely release what others may think of my performance. I was sheepish at first but gained confidence and the ability to genuinely not care how silly I looked. The exercises pushed me out of my comfort zone, and my revelation was that I can go to scary places and be just fine."
Maddy Goff
Artist & Group Fitness Instructor
Course: Leading Yourself First
"The area I knew I needed the most growth was my outward confidence. This training gave me no script, just space to trust the process, and it pushed me mentally, emotionally, and physically to grow. I realized that my voice is part of my brand, and my message only has power if I fully own it—tone, presence, and all. Holy moly, I was blown away!"
