Practical, Story-Driven Keynotes That Actually Stick
If you’re looking for a talk that delivers inspiration and real tools your audience can act on right away — you’re in the right place.
Below are a few of Matt’s signature keynotes. If one feels like a fit — or sparks an idea — let’s talk.
Real Confidence
for the Real World
Ever second-guessed yourself — not because you weren’t capable, but because some old voice whispered, “Don’t mess this up”?
That voice gets louder when it matters most. In meetings. On stage. On that one call you can’t afford to fumble.
This session is about understanding that voice, quieting it, and building confidence that actually holds up under pressure.
We’ll break down what real confidence looks like (and what it doesn’t), how to build it (and how you’ve already been building it), and a few core habits that help smart people sound as sharp as they are.
Real, practical tools you can use the next time all eyes are on you.
Whoever You Think You Are or Are Not, You’re Right
Not all self-doubt sounds like “I’m not good enough.”
Sometimes it sounds like: “That’s just not me.”
And that’s what we call an identity.
This keynote unpacks how a single moment can quietly become a label… and how that label can shape how we show up in rooms, speak on stages, lead teams, and live our lives.
Through stories that span insecurity, reinvention, and the quiet work of identity-shifting, Matt shares the framework that helped him stop living in a glass bowl — and start becoming someone new.
Audiences will leave with a deeper understanding of how identity becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy and how to rewrite it.
We’ll unpack how to spot the invisible bowl you’re swimming in, how to question the story you’ve believed too long, and how to stop faking confidence and start communicating with real conviction.
Because whoever you think you are or are not, you’re right. So, let’s choose that story.
What AI Can’t Take from You
Information is monopolized. With the stroke of a keyboard, “everyone” becomes an expert.
But ChatGPT cannot tell your story.
In this keynote, audiences will be inspired to action through a flurry of stories that detail the life of a man – cursed to mediocrity, convinced he had no ability or story – to now sharing his message on stage.
The Participants will learn:
– Why storytelling is essential, both to their listeners and themselves
– What stories are worth sharing, and how to find them
– How to actually tell stories, not just list events
