The 4 Truths to Making Your Business Human

The hyper-connectivity of today’s world has forever blurred the lines of work and life.

Organizations which understand and harness the qualities that make us human will outperform their peers in creating memorable customer experiences and true workforce engagement.

Matt teaches how the 4 Human Truths motivate all human behavior and what it means for you.

The first step to resolving your generational differences is realizing that everything you’ve been taught about the multi-generational model is a lie.

The second step is recognizing that the solutions are not as complicated as they seem.

Matt brings a hilarious and unique approach to solving all of your generational issues in the workplace (and at home).

With so many leadership aptitude tests to take and books to read, you might think being a successful leader requires an advanced degree.

The truth is all successful leaders focus on two foundational principles – and neither of them requires a test or acronym.

Matt shows you how successful leaders get out of their own heads and into the hearts of those they lead.

Talent Short Bio

Matt Havens is a dynamic keynote speaker known for blending humor with practical business insight to help organizations strengthen communication, leadership, and culture. Unlike many theorists, Matt’s perspective is grounded in firsthand corporate experience leading large-scale transformation initiatives inside Fortune-level organizations.

By the age of 25, Matt was pitching C-suite executives at a Fortune 25 company on enterprise-wide strategies to capitalize on emerging Millennial workforce and marketplace opportunities. His success in driving change quickly accelerated his career, leading teams across marketing, sales, customer retention, and operations. He has launched new sales departments, managed contact centers in five U.S. locations, and spearheaded high-impact culture and performance initiatives.

Today, Matt brings that real-world leadership experience to stages across North America. His presentations focus on bridging generational divides, improving workplace communication, strengthening culture, and building cohesive teams. His mission is to help organizations shift their perspective, focusing less on differences and more on shared human connections that drive collaboration and results.

Matt Havens is not your typical speaker.  His uncanny ability to provide real-world solutions in a relatable and humorous way have made him one of the quickest up-and-coming speakers in the industry.

His signature style began in corporate America, where by 25 he pitched the C-suite boardroom of a Fortune 25 company on his plan to lead enterprise-wide transformations to capitalize on the “Millennial” opportunities present in the marketplace and the workforce.

Matt’s work soon caught fire, and he began speaking to audiences all over the country, subsequently catapulting up the corporate ladder and leading teams in areas as diverse as marketing, sales, and customer retention.

Matt has been at the forefront of driving massively-scaled change efforts, started new sales departments, and ran contact centers in 5 different U.S. locations. In short, his approach is baked in reality instead of hyperbole.

Matt now brings his simple yet profound solutions to companies, associations, and small businesses across North America. His stated mission is to put perspective into action – both professionally and personally – by helping audiences focus less on what divides us and focus more on the bonds which pull all humans together.

The versatility of his experience and expertise is why Matt Havens is frequently called upon to address a variety of topics ranging from generational differences, leadership, culture, communication, sales and building successful teams.

Talent FAQ's

Speaker fees can vary depending on factors such as expertise, demand, and event specifics. While some speakers may charge a flat fee for their services, others may have hourly rates. It’s best to discuss fee structures directly with the speaker or their representative to understand the pricing model.

Keynote speeches typically range from 30 to 90 minutes, with the duration determined by the speaker’s expertise, the event’s agenda, and audience preferences. Keynote speeches often include a combination of inspirational stories, practical insights, and actionable advice tailored to the event’s theme or objectives.

The scale of the event and audience size can indeed impact a speaker’s fee. Larger events with a broader reach or higher attendance may command higher fees due to increased exposure and demand. Conversely, smaller events or niche audiences may offer opportunities for more flexible pricing arrangements.

Travel expenses such as transportation, accommodation, and meals are typically negotiated separately from the speaker’s fee. These costs vary depending on the speaker’s location, travel distance, and event duration. It’s important to clarify travel arrangements and expenses during the booking process to avoid misunderstandings.

Many speakers require a deposit to secure a booking, with the remaining balance due closer to the event date. Deposits are often non-refundable and serve as a commitment from both parties. It’s advisable to discuss deposit requirements and payment terms with the speaker or their representative when finalizing the booking.

  • Virtual speaking appearances are a cost-effective alternative to high speaking fees, often 10-50% cheaper than in-person rates.
  • There is typically no difference in fee for a 15-minute speech versus a 60-minute speech.
  • Some motivational speakers are open to discounting their fee if hired for more than one event by the same organization.
  • When browsing speakers, consider their location to keep travel costs down.
  • Personal connections to your organization or event location can increase your chances of securing a renowned speaker.
  • Be upfront about your needs and expectations to ensure a successful partnership.
  • Speaker bureaus like Speakers Inc help guide you through the booking process to negotiate the best deal with favorable terms.
