THE CHANGE ADVANTAGE: Leading and Growing Through Rapidly Changing Times

We are all experiencing and living in a world full of constant change. The relentless competition has never been greater with technological advancements rapidly evolving and entire industries constantly being disrupted. This keynote presentation provides practical solutions on how to not only lead through change more effectively, but most importantly, grow through change. The days of just reacting to changing environments are a thing of the past. You must lead it. You must initiate it. You must grow through it. Relying on past success or the way things have always been done won’t cut it in the pace of business today. The competitive advantage will favor those who are the most adaptable and can enhance business performance amidst constant change. This relevant and inspirational keynote will deliver actionable strategies to help attendees lead and build a future-ready organization that is fully prepared to embrace change.

CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM: Maximizing Team Performance

A connected and strong team can carry your vision to the end zone. In this keynote, Matt examines what the top performing teams are doing differently to consistently win, innovate, and elevate performance year after year. Most teams underperform, lack in communication, and have dysfunctional tendencies that limit performance without even knowing it. Being a former professional athlete and now as an in-demand management consultant working intimately with world-class teams across many different industries, Matt knows what it takes to build a successful team. He outlines the importance of driving trust, cultivating psychological safety, and building a coaching environment that brings out the best in all team members. The correlation between championship caliber athletic teams and high-performing business teams is nearly identical. This keynote is filled with practical strategies to unleash your team’s full potential and power.

BREAKTHROUGH SALES PERFORMANCE: Igniting Sales Growth

This dynamic keynote is guaranteed to challenge, inspire, and provide sales professionals with actionable strategies that will ignite sales performance. The professional world of selling is constantly changing and becoming more competitive than ever. Those who can’t differentiate themselves and provide a clear value proposition will be the first ones to go. Before Matt started speaking and consulting full-time after he got injured in the NFL, he was the top earning salesperson for a top pharmaceutical company. With no prior experience in selling, he immediately incorporated everything he learned in the game of football and started to outsell others who had decades of experience. The same skills, disciplines, and preparation it takes to win in the game of football are also required to thrive and win in the game of sales. The outcome of this keynote will be sales professionals who completely understand how to build meaningful connections, use personalization to drive impact, prepare like a champion and overcome obstacles.
