This keynote is based on Matt's latest book Next Thriving in the Decade of Disruption. Its co-authored with Thought Leaders Global partner and internationally renowned implementation expert Peter Cook. In this rapidly changing world, the only certainty is that what works today will not work tomorrow. Old business models won't work, old leadership styles won't be tolerated and slow-moving industries and businesses will become extinct. The successful players will be the ones with the greatest agility, creativity and foresight. A session with Matt focused on disruption will help put in place a culture of willingness and a practical framework for being agile, creative and building foresight. If you want to discover how the four business revolutions (R1?R4), and the four personal evolutions (E1?E4) will affect your industry, this is where the journey begins. This is how you future proof your career and business in the decade of disruption
Rise up
There comes a moment when you decide that it’s time to go next level, to evolve as a leader. Often this shift is more personal than it is professional. Mechanically advancing your career and business is what you have been doing your whole life. It’s what you got good at, or else you would not be where you are. What’s often missing in those who fail to go next level, is the deep personal inventory around who we are being when we lead.
This keynote is based on Matt’s latest book Rise Up - An evolution in leadership.
In every domain of life or work, you know whether you are operating above the line or not. Across multiple disciplines, schools of thought, ideologies and methodologies the idea of running above or below the line is easily understood and well documented. It takes enormous courage to decide to operate above the line when you can, where you can, and as often as you can. Courage is the tipping point on the line; you won’t always get things right, but if you operate from your heart you will be OK, no matter what occurs.
A leader brings out the best in those around them. This often means they need to attend to the best within them. This session challenges leaders to be more effective and tap into their full potential as a means for activating the potential in others. One part inspirational, it will shift the conversation in your leaders about being a leader: One part practical, it will demonstrate practical applications and moments of truth for leadership in action.

Helping People to be Commercially Smart
Matt’s presentation on thought leadership is the ideal catalyst for change. If you want to harness the intelligence within your organisation, this keynote will help the best and brightest shine even brighter. It will help to identify and release potential and also activate greater activity and innovation.
A thought leader is a leading authority in their field of expertise. They have access to a wealth of specialised knowledge which makes them uniquely valuable. They have collected information from varied and comprehensive sources and – most importantly – have packaged it so it can be effectively taught to others. Whether they know it or not, organisations are driven by the opportunities created and discovered by the thought leaders within, and it’s important to realise that these abilities can be nurtured and developed.
This keynote session with Matt can have a dramatic impact on the effectiveness of your teams and leaders. It can be the catalyst that helps your people discover knowledge and innovative ideas they didn’t realise they had within them.

Matt was fantastic. Everyone has commented on how good the session was on 'Crisis Management'. Matt facilitated it well for us and we look forward to working with him again.
- CIM
We toured Matt twice around the country to our network. He went the extra mile in pre planning, delivering on the day and follow up. Problem is we are now spoiled, no one even comes close to the professionalism and true thought leadership he provided, if we could use Matt at every event we would. Matt’s approach is different to many working in this space he is able to challenge and inspire at the same time – brilliant. He really cuts through
- ANZ
Matt was an exceptional speaker at our annual sales conference. Not only did he challenge the audience, he engaged them, provided humour and left us asking ourselves some tough questions on how we need to change and evolve to continue as a successful and growing organisation. After the presentation many managers referred to Matt’s session during the conference and one GM even supplied a web key referencing Matt’s work to keep and build momentum of the key messages. A true inspiration!
