THE JOURNEY

From poverty to prosperity, Philippe Matthews is a native of Chicago, Illinois whose parents divorced by the time he was age 6. By the time Philippe was 10 years old, his mother was told by doctors that she only had three to four months to live. Philippe dropped out of school to take care of his ailing mother while his older sister worked to support the family.

Philippe’s mother began reading an inspirational journal called the “Daily Word” and found a church near their home that his family began attending during their mother’s illness. The church was Christ Universal Temple, headed by the Reverend Doctor Johnnie Colemon and Philippe mother lived another four years versus four months!

One night while taking a shower, Philippe heard his sister screaming. He rushed out only to find his mother gasping for air. As he held her in his arms praying, she took her last breath and made her transition. At that moment, Philippe made three promises to his mother, “1) I will never get involved in gang activity, 2) I will never do drugs, and 3) I will make something of my life that you would be proud of.”

Their phone and lights had been disconnected so Philippe had to ask a neighbor to call an ambulance to retrieve his mother and to ask if he could call his father and tell him what happened. His father, a plumber, who he had not seen since he was 6 years old, came back into Philippe’s life at a pivotal time but only after two months of having his father back in his life, one day after helping his father work, his father got out of his car and literally dropped dead while Philippe helplessly watched.

Devastated, Philippe called his sister and told her the news and his long journey of self discovery began. Despite the dire and stressful circumstances of his life, Philippe made good on the promises he made to his mother and did not allow himself to fall prey to the pitfalls of the environment that ensnared so many of his peers.

Instead, he forged ahead through life constructively, striving to achieve success in whichever milieu he found himself. From his introduction to the workplace a cook for KFC, Philippe enrolled in cosmetology school and soon went on to become a hair and makeup technician in the entertainment industry, which led him to the editorial sector of beauty industry publishing, which allowed him to become the first Beauty Editor for Upscale Magazine out of Atlanta, Georgia.

Despite his success as a beauty industry writer, Philippe felt another calling and it was at this critical juncture that he shifted from motivating people about their appearance to motivating them period. After taking this pivotal step, Philippe has not looked back—rather, he has grown and flourished as a multi-media motivational force.

Philippe launched a successful speaking career, traveling worldwide with his message of how to train the brain; eradicate the mental mindset and effects of generational poverty by initiating proactive personal and professional empowerment. Philippe also serves as a Personal Coach to private clients on a consultant basis which is where he developed the nickname “The SHOCKcoach,” which is the acronym for Seeking Higher Omnipotent Conscious Knowledge!
