KEYNOTES
Keynote #1: “Make it matter”
An Experiential Roadmap for Collective Transformational Growth and Impact
There are some stories that simply stop us in our tracks. Stories are so meaningful that they send a ripple effect of positive impact that literally transforms millions of lives. That is Matt’s story. That is what Making it Matter can truly do.
After achieving incredible success in the music industry working on projects for the biggest artists in the world, including U2, Coldplay, Avril Lavigne and more, Matt’s life changed one Monday morning when he woke up with a crippling panic attack that would set him on a course to change the world in ways he never would have expected.
Matt’s realization that everything he thought mattered all of the sudden didn’t, so he set out on a journey to rediscover life's purpose and why he truly matters. In doing so, Matt’s life took various twists and turns as he discovered that mattering is at the heart of everything we do, intentional or not, and requires a recalibration that helped him see more clearly, live on purpose, and change how he shows up in the world. This discovery led to the Mattering Mindset — a methodology that has transformed the lives of millions of leaders, businesses, and lives around the world.
In this grounded, impactful, and actionable keynote, Matt shares how to make purpose and impact tangible, that we are one discovery away from a life of true meaning, and that we all play an integral role in building the teams and organizations we dreamed of being a part of. His personal story and highly-interactive keynote will transform your people and organization forever.
