During the workday, people frequently interact with others who have different abilities and challenges they are working through. Too many times the absence of information or the presence of misinformation about another person causes people to have far too low of an expectation for what another person can do. This session teaches how and why it is important to see potential in people and how giving them a chance to surprise you, creates camaraderie and promotes company culture.

Matt’s 'Nurture Your Nature’ presentation is an inclusive identity even that welcomes everyone and helps them better understand who they are, why they are, and what they want to be. His revisionary approach to story telling conceptualizes difference into common and familiar struggles while building empathy amongst different groups of people.

Through a guided group discussion, Matt gives the audience a voice as they share their interactive coping mechanisms, what discrimination looks like to them, and the one thing they wish everyone knew about their experience.

This lecture allows for the examinations of the concepts of intersectionality, codeswitching, and passing within a framework of social justice. Through guiding interactions between audience members, Matt helps connect how these group identities impact individuals’ experiences and exchanges with others. These connections offer audience members the ability to reflect on how they can have deeper community conversations and impactful engagement opportunities around topics of diversity and inclusion within their environments.

“Happy Hour 24/7” proves that alcohol doesn’t have be part of a successful social gathering. Matt discusses the scientifically proven secrets of true happiness and how “doing happiness” with others creates lifelong relationships.

Getting to know yourself, finding what makes you happy, and sharing that with other people is not only personally liberating, but socially responsible as well, as happy people are better members, leaders, and participants. Matt teaches that it’s time to stop searching for happiness and start learning how it works, how best to identify it for yourself, and how to share it with others.

This humorous program offers new insights into another’s perspective. Many able-bodied people never have the opportunity to get up close and personal with someone who is living with a disability. This presentation aims to help prevent people from engaging in labeling language or other inappropriate stereotypical behaviors surrounding disability. 

Matt’s candid style motivates people to learn more about themselves and provides an insightful view into disability, while addressing the most frequently asked questions from “How do you go to the bathroom?” to “Do you only date people in wheelchairs?” There are no bad questions – and for the record, he was just born without any legs. Everything else is there and works just fine.
