“Matthew was wonderful! He is one of those few people that can walk on stage, be very calm, and take complete command of the audience.
Not only that, he really engaged me.
It felt like it was just me and him, even though there were 150 other people around me.
Having spent many years as a TEDx organizer and many more running our own events, I’ve seen my fair share of speakers. Matthew was definitely at the top.
He was articulate, he did a fantastic job of staying on point, and most importantly, I walked away feeling like I could achieve what he was leading me through”.

“I had the opportunity to participate in the “Build Your Story Playbook” virtual event with Matthew Pollard in spring 2024.
From the moment Matthew took the virtual stage, his infectious energy and captivating personal journey grabbed my attention. The event was packed with invaluable insights, prompting me to eagerly order “The Introvert’s Edge.”
Impressed by the virtual experience, I didn’t hesitate to secure Matthew for an in-person workshop titled “Rapid Growth in the Face of Uncertainty” for my local chapter.
Without reservation, I would recommend Matthew Pollard as a dynamic and compelling speaker.”

One was for sales leaders at our annual Sales Managers Retreat in Park City, Utah, and the other was at our annual Epic Event in Dallas, Texas, where we hosted hundreds of sales professionals for an amazing day of learning.
Mathew was a rock star at both.
He was engaging and delivered a very impactful message filled with takeaways that everyone could start using immediately.
We will surely have him again. I highly recommend!”

Whether it’s a business owner attending a local meetup or an employee flying across the world for their annual corporate conference, it’s usually the same story.

While they go hoping to find that one relationship that will forever change their life, they spend their time with people they already know, or having shallow conversations that lead to nothing.

In this transformational keynote, Matthew will shine a spotlight on why traditional networking feels so uncomfortable, then share his strategic networking framework for authentically mastering any room.

Target Audience:

This session has been designed in two formats: One to be presented in front of small business owners looking for a more successful and far less transactional way of networking, and the other to be presented at corporate conferences, where organizers are hoping to see their employees actively network with each other effectively and authentically.

It’s also the perfect choice for emerging leaders’ events, as it provides attendees with the tools and motivation to comfortably find and solidify their place within any organization.
