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.

Matt Havens | Leadership, Workplace Culture & Human Connection

Matt Havens is a keynote speaker who combines humor with practical business experience to help organizations strengthen leadership, communication, and teamwork. His message encourages audiences to look beyond the differences that separate people and focus on the shared needs and experiences that connect them.

Matt developed his approach in corporate America. At 25, he presented senior executives at a Fortune 25 company with a proposal for responding to millennial opportunities in the workforce and marketplace. That experience became part of a broader career supporting organizational change and leading teams across marketing, sales, and customer retention.

His responsibilities included launching sales departments, contributing to large-scale transformation efforts, and running contact centers in five U.S. locations. Working across these functions gave him firsthand experience with the challenges of communicating change, managing expectations, and helping people work toward common goals.

Those experiences inform his speaking. Matt translates workplace challenges into accessible ideas, using relatable examples and humor to encourage reflection without losing sight of practical application. His presentations invite participants to consider how their assumptions influence the way they lead, collaborate, and respond to others.

Generational differences are one focus of his work. He encourages audiences to examine the labels they use and consider what colleagues share across ages and backgrounds. That perspective also shapes his presentations on culture, communication, sales, and building successful teams.

For leaders, Matt connects organizational goals with the everyday interactions that influence trust and participation. For employees, he offers a way to think about their own contribution to a more connected and effective workplace.

His stated mission is to put perspective into action, both professionally and personally. He helps audiences move from recognizing a familiar challenge to considering what they can do differently in their next conversation, decision, or team interaction.

Matt speaks to companies, associations, and small businesses across North America. His combination of operational experience, straightforward ideas, and humor makes him suited to conferences and leadership events seeking an engaging approach to workplace relationships and change.

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.
