Keynote Speaker

As a keynote speaker myself, I know an excellent speaker when I listen to one. Matt and I both spoke at a regional entrepreneur’s conference together. Matt is an excellent presenter - very personable and impactful to the audience. His message to small businesses and entrepreneurs is powerful and how he relates it resonates. It was truly a pleasure to meet and see him present.

If you are considering hiring Matt as your keynote speaker, DO IT!  Do not hesitate.  Matt will take the stage, deliver with enthusiasm, and give your audience a message they will be talking about long after Matt presents.  I have been in the personal development industry for three decades and have had the opportunity to see many speakers.  Matt is up there with the best of the best. I have gotten to know Matt off stage and personally over the years, and I can also say that he is one of the most humble, inspiring and wonderful human beings on the planet.  He really loves to help others and contribute to the greater good of the business community.

Matt, your presentation was awesome! I learned a lot of practical and actionable ideas about how to distinguish my business from my competition and stand above. Thanks for the great stories and the great tips.

Matt flew to Madrid to present to our Entrepreneur’s Organization team. We loved Matt’s presentation. No fluff, no impressive statements, no tricks or shortcuts, just a humble, practical and inspiring message that Matt shared with our team. I would highly recommend his keynote presentation to anyone.

It was a pleasure meeting Matt and hearing him speak… twice! In today’s “age of accelerations,” to borrow a phrase from Tom Friedman’s latest book, it’s rare for a speaker to capture one’s attention in any speech, let alone two speeches. I heard all-around good reviews of his stories, delivery, and lessons. My friend, the editor of the Sioux Falls Business Journal, is a smart phone addict. At the end of his presentation, she turned to me and said “I didn’t once have the urge to check my phone.” That is indeed the sign of an engaging story. A thank you to Matt for sharing his skills under SDN’s banner at SME.

Matt’s speaking is inspiration, engaging, and brings lasting transformation to your business or organization. His expertise in the art of storytelling have impacted our sales, culture, and overall client satisfaction.

Your presentation was unique in that you showed us how to grow sales not from leaning on “shiny marketing materials” but by leaning in on being our true selves, showing our vulnerability to the appropriate prospects at the appropriate times. Your presentation was fun, animated, and interactive.

There are a very few people I have met in my life that when they speak, I know I’d better listen.  What they have to say is so important, so insightful, so meaningful that I dare not miss a word.  Matt is one of those people.  His experiences and outlook are inspiring, and his passion and enthusiasm are infectious. He has the unique ability to break complex ideas and systems into simple and accessible concepts, and his passion for people is electrifying.  If you are someone who is continually looking for opportunities to learn, grow and be inspired, then I highly suggest seeking out an opportunity to hear Matt speak.

In preparation to enter our summer camp session, I sought out a speaker/facilitator to train and teach my leadership team. I was preparing for a summer packed full of training the leaders that run the teams working directly with our camp children.  Matt spent an afternoon presenting his "Fluency in the Language of Human Behavior" workshop.  His energy and enthusiasm was contagious.  The way in which he helped me, and my leadership team understand ourselves and our leadership styles was spot on.  We were all very impressed and walked away with actionable steps to be much better leaders.  I would highly recommend Matt to any companies and teams looking to grow, gain insight and lead better.  

The workshop Matt presented was informative, interactive, and truly was of value to the ownership, management team and to each individual real estate agent.  Matt Shoup comes highly recommended as a motivational and keynote speaker.

Matt’s passion and energy is unequivocally matched and will keep you engaged throughout his entire presentation.

Thank you for such a great presentation! I have already heard such positive feedback from everyone. You are the first keynote speaker we have ever had at our annual meeting, and you set the bar very, very high!
