Naturally gifted communicators who want to help you bring clarity to your messaging

Mission, Vision and Values

In the mid-2000s, founder and CEO of Leading With Nice Mathieu Yuill, was an active freelance journalist. Often assigned profile pieces it was the creative director at a magazine that asked Mathieu “Why do you describe some of the people you profile as ‘nice leaders?’”

Mathieu’s curiosity led him to discover these Nice Leaders had six traits in common: they showed a lot of gratitude, were empathetic, trusting of their staff, honest, generous with their time and money and service driven.

This led to Mathieu researching these traits to see if they positively impacted the bottom line. He found there were mountains of scientific and academic research showing that indeed it did. Mathieu started a website about this research, wrote a book and completed a Masters in Leadership and Management where he examined communications as a leadership skill.

When he launched his communications and marketing company it was only fitting he call it Leading With Nice. He hires staff and the company works with other businesses and nonprofits who align with the following:
