Testimonials

“Matt was fantastic, and we had wonderful feedback on him from many of our attendees! He hit right on the mark for what we were trying to communicate. Even some of our long-time franchisees who are known to be a bit stuck in their ways (for lack of better words) had positive things to say! Here are a couple of nuggets we received from them:

  • Matt Havens Old Guy young Guy Keynote Speaker, Real, True, applicable, fun.
  • The Guest Speaker…..I think, for me, he was the best speaker we have had at a convention. He was upbeat, and the things he said were relevant.”

“I cannot thank you enough for what is already being called an epic conference! Your stellar presentation, not to mention incredible energy, truly set the tone and I genuinely feel like it made everybody open up more than I’ve ever seen before. You are wildly talented and watching you speak was transformational for both our organization and me. We are forever grateful! ”

-Director – Duke Energy

“Now that one day has passed since our conference and the feedback is coming in, I want to thank you for your excellent presentation.  We have received a lot of great feedback on your presentation and have received requests for the slides.  My brother owns an engineering firm and was in attendance.  He said that your presentation was great and wants to share the information with his staff.  As brothers do, he usually shoots me straight, so that is a high compliment.   I have another client that is trying to connect with your team and retain you to help them with some things.  I took a couple pages of notes myself.  Well done!

You prepared and delivered in a fun and effective manner!”
