KEYNOTES
Keynote: “Make it matter.”
Everyone has a story… some just happen to create a ripple effect of positive impact that transforms millions of lives. That is Matt’s story.
After achieving great success in the music industry as the SVP of Robert Kardashian's music marketing company and working on projects for the biggest artists in the world, including U2, Coldplay, Avril Lavigne and more, Matt woke up on a Monday morning with a massive panic attack that turned into chronic anxiety disorder and depression.
Realizing everything he thought mattered actually didn't, he set out on a journey to rediscover his life's purpose and why he matters. In doing so, Matt realized that mattering is at the heart of everything and developed the Mattering Mindset™—a methodology that has transformed countless lives, teams, and organizations.
Matt believes we can no longer afford cultures of disconnect, apathy, and compliance at best. In these hyper-competitive and uncertain times, there’s a mandate for a new model for engagement with mattering at the center. His personal story and highly-interactive keynote will transform your people and organization forever.
