Keynote Presentation

New Leader Liftoff.

A leader is considered “new” for the first five years of their leadership journey.  What do new leaders need to build a rock-solid foundation to benefit themselves, their team, their company and their personal life?  Step onto the launchpad as Matt provides a fast-paced, high-energy and actionable keynote speech event filled with audience participation for long-term knowledge retention.

About This Keynote

Building New Leader Confidence.
Confidence Is Your Superpower.

Only about 10% of employees ever move into leadership.  Most people are happy to let someone else lead and they will provide their specific talents to those leaders.  So then, how can you prepare for and succeed when the 90% are looking to you for direction?

You already have what it takes.  I call them “seeds of leadership”.  However, without the correct “soil” and “cultivation”, your leadership journey might be bumpier than it needs to be.  

Join me for an unfiltered event where I bring techniques that work, while admitting mistakes made over a 25-year career of helping over 500 new leaders to reach career and personal success.  You bring the passion and curiosity and I’ll bring the leadership tool bag.
