Our Approach
We believe meaningful growth starts with curiosity. Before people can move forward with confidence, they need the space to pause, reflect, and understand what's really getting in the way.
MTG Development Group grew from countless conversations between the two of us about leadership, learning, and what helps people truly thrive. Over the years, we found ourselves continually asking the same questions:
How can we create better systems?
How can we help people feel more connected to their work?
How do we build workplaces where people can grow without losing themselves in the process?
Today, we partner with individuals and organizations to create experiences that are thoughtful, practical, and deeply human. Whether we're coaching someone through a career transition, developing leaders, strengthening teams, or designing talent initiatives, our goal is the same: to help people better understand themselves, navigate change with confidence, and create growth that lasts.
Your Partners in Growth
Tiffany Garcia
I've always been fascinated by people, what motivates us, what gets in our way, and what helps us grow.
Over the past decade, I've had the opportunity to design leadership programs, career initiatives, and coaching experiences for professionals across higher education, healthcare, nonprofits, and corporate organizations. No matter the setting, I've found that meaningful change rarely comes from having all the answers. It comes from creating the space to ask better questions, understand ourselves more deeply, and take intentional action.
As a leadership and career coach, I work with people who know they're capable but feel stuck, uncertain, or ready for something more. Sometimes they're navigating a career transition. Sometimes they're stepping into leadership for the first time. Sometimes they simply want to feel more confident in the decisions they're making. Wherever they're starting, my goal is to help them slow down, make sense of what's really going on, and leave each conversation with greater clarity and practical next steps.
My passion for developing people extends beyond individual coaching. In September 2026, the International Coaching Federation (ICF) will publish my article, Growing into Credibility as a Coach, where I explore how coaches build trust, confidence, and professional identity. Writing has become another way I contribute to the broader conversation about leadership, growth, and meaningful change.
Outside of coaching, you'll usually find me spending time with my husband and son, getting lost in a good book, traveling somewhere new, or exploring my own journey of personal and spiritual growth. I'm endlessly curious about what helps people live and lead more fulfilling lives, and that curiosity doesn't stop when the workday ends. It shapes how I show up in my relationships, how I continue learning, and ultimately how I partner with the people I coach.
I believe coaching isn't about having all the answers; it's about creating the kind of conversation that helps people discover their own. My hope is that every person I work with leaves feeling a little more confident, a little more connected to themselves, and a little more excited about what's possible.

Matthew J. Garcia
I was drawn to coaching because I missed sitting face to face with another person, listening deeply, and partnering one to one. Employer engagement allowed me to build strategy and opportunity at scale. Coaching returned me to a part of my professional toolbox where I knew I could create a different kind of impact.
Over the past decade, I have worked across higher education, employer engagement, and leadership development in the United States and internationally. These experiences showed me that growth requires more than information. It requires space to examine the patterns shaping our decisions and determine what the present moment demands.
I work best with accomplished professionals who recognize that the approaches that brought them here may not carry them forward. Some have reached or come close to the mountaintop and are exploring what comes next. Others find that trusted strengths and tools have become overused, stifling the momentum they once created. I help them move beyond familiar answers with greater clarity and intention.
I have deliberately strengthened my natural coaching ability through sustained training and practice. As a Certified Hogan Practitioner and coach, I use assessment data to ground deeper inquiry in research-backed insight. I have completed more than 500 hours of coaching practice through two GoMasterCoach cohorts and am finishing its Level II certificate program on my journey toward PCC. I also explore coaching and artificial intelligence. At the 2025 CUNY Professional Development Conference, I presented “The Coach in the Machine,” connecting responsible AI use with the ICF Core Competencies and a human in the loop approach.
My entrepreneurial drive is rooted in my father, a blue collar provider who built businesses across the Northeast textile industry. At thirteen, my first jobs included dressing showroom beds and steaming curtains for Fifth Avenue’s Market Week. Today, I am proud to be a first-generation master’s-educated professional building an enterprise of my own. Outside of work, I pursue health and strength, collect retro video games, explore emerging technology, and enjoy analyzing film.
I believe powerful coaching conversations make room for shared silence, authentic curiosity, and questions that do not demand immediate answers. Rather than manufacture certainty, I help clients become more confident in exploring the unknown. As a result, they leave with greater clarity and take purposeful action toward answers they truly own.
