Matt Havens is an international keynote speaker, former corporate leader, son of a comedian, and firm believer we over complicate work by overthinking the solutions.  Matt’s high-energy, engaging presentations deliver insightful, actionable strategies – all with a surprisingly entertaining twist.

With 14 years of leadership experience in finance, sales, and customer service at a multi-billion dollar company, Matt gained invaluable in-the-trenches experience that informs his approach to solving business challenges and ensures his message relates with his audiences.  Whether tackling change management or building dynamic team cultures, Matt has done it firsthand – including leading a massive strategic overhaul which transformed one of America’s most iconic brands.

Those experiences also taught Matt something was missing in the working world. As the son of a headlining comedian, Matt grew up in the back room of comedy clubs around the world, where he witnessed the infectious impact of laughter.  He believes business growth and fun don’t have to be mutually exclusive – a philosophy which has made him a trusted partner for organizations like RE/MAX, Lockheed Martin, Baker Tilly, and Allstate, as well as countless government and industry associations from nearly every trade.

Matt doesn’t just speak about personal and professional growth – he lives it.  He recently checked off a major bucket list item by completing an Ironman triathlon, cheered on by his wife and twin daughters. They currently reside in Dallas, TX.

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.”

“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!”
