Keynote Topics

My Workshops Focus On Creating Clarity, Meaningful Conversation, And Moments Of Reflection

I’m passionate about high-performance topics like:

The Elements of Adventure

  • Full Engagement Leadership: Creating sustainable leadership through clear direction and purpose
  • Uncertain Outcome: Navigating fear, challenge, and uncertainty as a driver for innovation, excellence, and achievement
  • Sustainable Peak Performance: Building capacity in a world of unrelenting demand

By the end of my presentation, your audience will walk away:

  • With greater confidence and clarity
  • More joyful about their lives and career
  • Appreciating the adventure in every moment
  • Reconnected with themselves and their team
  • Inspired to step outside their comfort zones and take on new challenges

Matt Walker believes his greatest passion is helping people extend their awareness and vitality through experiencing the five elements of adventure.

After leading 25 years of expeditions, I started Matt Walker Adventures because I was watching men have huge life-changing experiences on outdoor adventures. But too many men were missing out on huge opportunities to stay grounded and make long-term changes after the trip.

The experiences we have in the outdoors impact us profoundly. All adventures big or small — from camping with our families, a hike after work, our first summit through the Himalayas – They help us by enriching our relationship to nature, creating new memories, and offering us valuable lessons that transfer back into our daily lives.

Matt Walker believes that epic adventures without solid coaching doesn’t lead to sustainable changes in your life. I was looking for a better way.

By pairing my background in psychology with my experience as a mountain guide, Matt Walker combines an outdoor adventure experience with life-shifting coaching you won’t find anywhere else.

Stress and uncertainty have taken their toll on teams.

  • People are feeling overwhelmed, uninspired, and discontent.
  • Many struggle to remember their passions, what used to really get their blood pumping every day.
  • A lack of adventure has stolen the joy from our work and personal lives.

Keynote Speaking For Audiences That Want More

As a keynote speaker, Matt Walker will take audiences on a rich, story-centric journey through the Five Elements of Adventure.

By the end of our time together, participants have learned how to break out of their comfort zones, reconnect with their passions, operate from a place of clarity, and reflect on what matters most.

I love sharing my life-shifting passion for adventure with audiences large and small. From a core team of 30 executives to a company retreat with 1000 members or more, I believe everyone can benefit from sparking adventure in their lives.

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.
