Case Studies

How Matt works with event organisers, leadership teams and businesses to create an outcome that fits the people in the room.

Keynote and Workshop

Czech Tourism Board

A tailored keynote for more than 200 people, followed by a workshop for CEOs and senior executives.

The brief

The Czech Tourism Board combined an industry experts event with an inspiration afternoon and wanted a speaker who could connect with a broad professional audience.

The approach

CEO Tereza Hofmanova found Matt through his session at IMEX Frankfurt. Before the event, the board held two detailed briefing calls with Matt so he could understand the audience and shape the keynote around the brief. Matt delivered the keynote on 24 September 2025 and returned the following day for a workshop attended mainly by CEOs and senior executives.

What happened

The keynote reached more than 200 people in a conference audience of 220. The follow-on workshop gave the senior group time to explore the ideas in more depth while they were still fresh.

Team development event

CWC Solicitors

A presentation on untapped potential as part of CWC Solicitors' annual team event.

The brief

CWC Solicitors wanted its annual Summer Social at Mount Edgcumbe to bring the team together while investing in continued development.

The approach

The event on 17 September 2026 combined a workshop on DISC behavioural profiles with Matt's presentation on untapped potential. Matt asked the team to look beyond CVs, qualifications and job titles and notice the experiences, resilience and determination that can reveal someone's capability.

What happened

The presentation gave the team a shared way to think about potential and encouraged people to look again at themselves and their colleagues.

Conference opening keynote

MJP Events

An energetic opening keynote for the Beyond Limits internal conference.

The brief

MJP Events wanted a keynote to open its internal Beyond Limits conference, create energy in the room and give the audience practical ideas they could use.

The approach

Matt spent time understanding the brief before the event. He drew on stories from working on a commercial fishing trawler, rowing the Atlantic, and growing and selling two companies to explore pushing further and getting more from life.

What happened

The keynote opened the conference with energy, connected with the audience and delivered focused, actionable takeaways.
