Matthew Taylor

I am a life-long educator, leader and trainer of leaders. I founded the Noble Story Group (NSG), an organization that designs and facilitates adaptive leadership coaching and professional development grounded in Emotional Intelligent Leadership theory. In addition, I am a meta-coach, program faculty member, content contributor for Daniel Goleman’s Emotional Intelligence Coaching & Training Programs. Before NSG, I taught elementary and middle school for eleven years, then served as the Principal of Amistad Academy Middle School, the Achievement First flagship school, for six years. Under my leadership, Amistad distinguished itself as the number one middle school in the state of Connecticut for African American student achievement, and among the top ten for both low-income and Hispanic student achievement.
