About Us

You Matter Global Movement (YMGM) is the #1 motivational keynote speaking program focused on building empathy, compassion, self-confidence, vision, and self-love for our youth and emerging leaders.

​We utilize a transformational experiential process that allows students to break down their walls and then acknowledge, accept, and take action on moving past their past and into their bright futures.

Our organization is backed by the wisdom and heart of our Founder and Executive Director, Richard Kuo. Richard is a ICF (International Coach Federation)-certified life coach, youth speaker, YouTuber, mentor, and avid scholar of transformational leadership who has been trained by a multitude of industry leaders such as Tony Robbins, Jack Canfield (Chicken Soup for the Soul), Tom Bilyeu (Founder of Quest Nutrition and Impact Theory), Cole Hatter (Founder of Thrive), and Hal Elrod (The Miracle Morning).

Our mission at the You Matter Global Movement is to teach our future generation to have:
  1. Unwavering Empathy & Compassion
  2. Unstoppable Self-Confidence
  3. Clarity of Vision
  4. Self-Love
I’ve been here for 20 years and Richard is the first person I’ve seen hold the attention of all 800 students.
