"Wow! Matt is not only charming and witty, but
his intellectual prowess encourages one to overcome their fear of public speaking! I
have recently had tremendous success with the assistance of his coaching."
-- Cézanne "Zizi" Fritz, Vice President and Executive Director,
Presbyterian Healthcare Foundation
In addition to being a corporate consultant, he is also an
internationally recognized keynote speaker and speaking coach (as opposed to a speech
coach). Matt privately instructs individuals
and select groups, helping them master their public speaking and platform skills. His client list includes business owners, doctors,
lawyers, corporate executives, top producing sales personnel, media personalities, pageant
contestants, and on occasion, even politicians.
"Thanks again -- you were terrific ... our guests told me
you were the BEST speaker they've ever heard!" -- Roberta Chavez, Program
Developer/Education Director, Apprenticeship Training Program, ABC, Inc.
Matt's keynote speaking techniques come from his years in stand-up
comedy, live entertainment, professional music, and extensive research into methods
developed by Samuel Clemens (better known to some as Mark Twain). In fact, Matt was recently invited as one of only
75 speakers worldwide, to become a charter member and regional acting president of the
highly prestigious Bill Gove Speech Club. As Matt
is fond of saying,
"… the real tragedy is when people don't
have the training to speak well or the intelligence to remain silent."
Matt Rix is uniquely qualified to teach the art of telling compelling
stories. He combines successful careers
in entertainment and comedy with international business, corporate leadership development,
and sales presentation training. He is equally
at home speaking to high-tech conferences, general business audiences, as well as
executive-level seminars.
Matt is an entertaining and humorous speaker who teaches the art of
powerful, compelling storytelling along with creating UNFORGETTABLE First
Impressions. His concepts are fascinating,
entertaining, yet undeniable … as is his tag-line:
“It's not what you know that
counts ... It's how you SAY IT!”™
If you want the very best, you will definitely want to hire Matt to
speak for your next function or corporate meeting. His ability to combine humor and
anecdotal experiences into his professional presentations, along with his vast
international business and non-profit organizational credentials allow Matt to entertain
and enlighten his audiences.
He will make you think, laugh out loud, and then ask yourself:
"How could something this POWERFUL be
