Matt Havens is an international keynote speaker, reformed corporate leader, son of a comedian, and a firm believer we overcomplicate work by overthinking the solutions.  While Matt doesn’t take himself too seriously, he seriously delivers a high-energy, actionable, and hilarious message every time he takes a stage.

Matt is at the intersection of thought leadership, entertainment, and real-life.  He spent 14 years leading diverse teams in finance, sales, and customer service for a Fortune 50 company which gave him the in-the-trenches experience companies can relate with and understand.  Matt also grew up being snuck into the back room of comedy clubs while his Dad performed with some of the biggest names in comedy.  That experience taught him the importance of engaging an audience and the infectious impact of laughter.  Understanding those two experiences don’t have to be mutually exclusive – that we can drive business growth and results while having fun doing it – has positioned Matt to help hundreds of organizations and recognizable brands like RE/MAX, Lockheed Martin, and Allstate to go along with countless government and industry associations from nearly every trade.

Matt lives in Dallas, TX with his wife and best friend, Megan, and their twin daughters Avery and Emersyn.  When he’s not working, he’s probably trying to convince his daughters to love golf or plan the next family adventure.

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.”

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! ”

“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!”
