The war for top talent has never been greater. Many of today’s workers no longer view a great workplace culture as an added benefit. It is a requirement. The organizations and leaders that don’t have a relentless focus to enhance their culture will not only struggle to attract top talent, but also retain and develop current talent. High-performing and winning cultures don’t happen overnight and there is not a one size fits all approach. They are created intentionally, with vigorous discipline and persistence. The biggest competitive advantage in the world is culture. It’s the one thing that the competition can’t mimic or copy. Culture is the heart and soul of an organization. Matt shares the exact framework that he uses to consistently optimize and lead cultural transformations for some of the most respected organizations in the world. Attendees will leave this presentation with an actionable playbook on how to transform their culture, where to start, and a proven process on how to cascade the desired change.

This dynamic keynote is guaranteed to challenge, inspire, and provide sales professionals with actionable strategies that will ignite sales performance. The professional world of selling is constantly changing and becoming more competitive than ever. Those who can’t differentiate themselves and provide a clear value proposition will be the first ones to go.

With no prior experience in selling, he immediately incorporated everything he learned in the game of football and started to outsell others who had decades of experience. The same skills, disciplines, and preparation it takes to win in the game of football are also required to thrive and win in the game of sales. The outcome of this keynote will be sales professionals who completely understand how to build meaningful connections, use personalization to drive impact, prepare like a champion and overcome obstacles. ...less

We are all experiencing and living in a world full of constant change.
