Speeches

Four keynotes, built on true stories and aimed at the working week.

Leadership and culture

Seen It All, Missed It Anyway

Why experts miss what newcomers see. Expertise doesn't just add to what you know. It quietly takes away from what you notice.

They leave with
One habit for turning your newest person's questions into an early-warning system.
Best for
Healthcare leaders, and any team where veterans and new hires have stopped hearing each other.

Incentives and performance

You Get What You Pay For, Not What You Meant

Why smart people hit the number and miss the point. Every scorecard, bonus plan and quota teaches people what really counts.

They leave with
One question to ask of any metric before it goes live.
Best for
Leadership teams, sales kickoffs, quality and finance leaders.

AI and the future of work

It's Coming for Your Chores

What AI really does to jobs, without the panic or the pitch. Most jobs are bundles of tasks, and only some of them are leaving.

They leave with
A way to sort their own work into what's going and what's still theirs.
Best for
All-hands meetings, HR and learning leaders, any workforce that's quietly nervous.

Technology and the future

The Singularity Parallax

Science fiction, held up against what's actually shipping. A clear way to tell real progress from hype: how mature a technology is, what's holding it back, and what could be built today.

They leave with
A way to read the next AI headline as a scoreboard instead of a panic.
Best for
Boards, strategy offsites, innovation teams.

Scoring inspired by Solve Everything by Peter Diamandis and Alexander Wissner-Gross. Independent and not endorsed by either.

A CEO, not a career speaker

Matt Pearson runs a healthcare company. He isn't a professional speaker who read about your problems on the plane.

He spends his week on the same things your audience does: incentives that backfire, smart people who stop listening, and new tools that don't move the number.

On stage he uses true stories from history and science to make those problems impossible to ignore, then shows what to do about them on Monday. Every story is fact-checked and credited.
