Sample Topics
Mind-Body Wisdom: A Key to Effective Leadership
All too often, people in managing positions take care of everyone else but themselves. This is not sustainable. Matthew draws upon his extraordinary experience with trauma and loss, as well as paralysis and yoga, to emphasize the vital role that self-care plays in effective leadership. Caring for both mind and body is much more than a personal health strategy. It is wisdom that increases energy levels, improves interactions with others, and creates a healthier work environment. In this interactive presentation, participants will gain practical yet profound insights into their own mind-body relationships, as well as hear tips on managing stress.

Waking Mind and Body
Optimizing mind-body health is a secret to living well. Matthew uses his unique story as chronicled in his award-winning memoir Waking to underscore the reality and importance of the subtle connections that exist between mind and body. Participants gain insights into their own mind-body relationships, as well as hear tips on managing stress.

Bringing Your Body to Work
This is an innovative approach to managing stress — both at work and at home. Presence within the body holds the key to increasing one's energy, productivity, and sense of well-being. This presentation offers a practical and commonsense approach to living more vibrantly through one's body.

Wisdom vs. Will
This is specifically for corporate America. Turning it up and running faster is an easy thing to do. It takes no shift in perspective, only increased will and determination. Unfortunately, in the ever-changing landscape of competitive business, such a narrow strategy is not enough. Matthew uses his remarkable story to highlight a profound point: obstacles and challenges are not overcome by simply exerting one's will. They should be recognized and reacted to with a mixture of wisdom, will and mind-body connectedness. Participants in this keynote presentation will also gain insights into their own personal health and well-being.
