Matt is the founder of Thought Leaders and the creator of The Leadership Landscape, a series of experiences designed for leaders.
Matt is a leadership expert and the author of 13 books, including his latest Rise Up: An evolution in leadership.
For the last 20 years Matt has been invited to speak at conferences all over the world and present his ideas on leading self, leading others and leading change. One of the most awarded conference speakers in Australia he has been recognised as one of the top 10 motivational speakers globally and one of the 21 most influential people in the world of speaking.
Fortunately the team at Thought Leaders has been spending the last three years getting really, really good at delivering ideas and inspiration online. So the pivot was easy, the learning curve was low.
We had already been delivering our programs to students all over the world, online through the Thought Leaders Business School and so when clients started to ask Matt could he help in lockdown we were good to go, immediately.
We have set Matt up with multiple camera angles, picture-in-picture whiteboards, professional mics and lighting. His studio is kind of cool.
So for the last six months we have been delivering webcasts, masterclasses, facilitating online conferences and basically keeping the game of leadership and culture development alive for our clients, keeping things live online (whilst looking forward to the chance to create extraordinary in-person experiences very soon. #reboot2021)

If you have already grabbed a copy of Matt's topic guide rest assured Matt has delivered each and every topic across the digital divide to great effect.
At the same time Matt has worked on a series of new sessions that are purpose built to respond to a post pandemic environment.
These include:
A program for small business owners showing them what to do with the commercial realities of the COVID-19 crisis.
A motivation talk to leaders about lifting the level of conversation in and around them so they can operate above the line during tough times.
A program for people delivering virtual presentations helping them increase engagement and create a buzz online.
How to keep your head in the game, a presentation on high performance mindsets and resilience.
How to get things done and stay productive while leading and working from home.
Some of the different session types people have asked Matt to run:
30–60 Minutes
Unlimited audience
These are shorter presentations, typically with Matt speaking to an audience that are in listen and chat mode only. Like a typical conference keynote these are used to inspire and inform, educate and entertain your people.
90 minutes to 3 hours
Limited audience
Similar to in house training workshops these online masterclasses have been receiving rave reviews. Some clients have asked Matt to run a masterclass a month and many are remarking that they prefer the cost efficiencies of doing this and the increases they are seeing in engagement through the online medium.
Half to 3 days
Up to 1000 people
We have invested in an online conference space that enables us to set up rooms and floors and deliver good virtual conferences. Let us know if this interests you and we can start to design your virtual conference.
We believe that the technology should never get in the way of a great experience. Whether it's Zoom, Teams, Webex or any number of the available platforms Matt has probably already used it to great effect to deliver great online experiences. All platforms are welcome.
