Keynotes
Matt’s keynote addresses are always tailored to his audience with a focus on leadership, the value of teamwork, setting achievable goals and how to avoid repeating the same mistakes by facing them head on, analysing, understanding and devising strategies to combat them.
Aligning good preparation, training, communication and consistency, with business growth and events like rowing the Atlantic and climbing Mont Blanc, he shows how to make the most daunting challenges seem easy.
Matt talks about the fine line between business and adventure when preparing and training for success and achieving it. He delivers insights that illuminate the power of authenticity, sharing vulnerability and how leadership is about creating and delivering teams that work.
Workshops
Matt is a true believer in teamwork and knows how vital collaboration is to success. His interactive workshops guide participants to join him in evaluating where they are, where they want to be and how to get there. Each event is tailored for the audience using key learnings from his extracurricular adventures.
Getting the right people in the boat is just the start of the journey. Communicating the vision, consistent process, preparation, training, risk management, resilience and continuous improvement are elements crucial to a high-performance culture.
He challenges his participants, because he believes workshops only deliver when everyone is fully engaged. His aim is to encourage and support each person to help them understand their potential and introduce them to innovative ideas.
Mentoring
Matt’s work as a mentor with CEOs and MDs is focussed on effective leadership, utilising a simple positioning exercise to open the conversation and develop an understanding of where the mentee needs the most mentoring to achieve their objective.
He asks the question: ‘As the CEO/MD, where do you see yourself in your organisation?’
The answer reveals insight crucial to understanding the complex relationships in the business.
Challenging existing behaviour and expectations and holding them accountable for agreed actions, ensures each mentee allocates sufficient time and resources to effect the changes that will recalibrate their leadership. An experienced and innovative mentor, Matt will support each mentee as they reach their potential to lead their business to sustainable growth.
