Matt Phelan  Omdömen 

Matt was absolutely fantastic yesterday as he moderated our panel of HR executive leaders at the Prezi Pulse event. His expertise and thoughtful use of data, research, and insights from different sources helped keep every discussion balanced and objective.

What really stood out, though, was his energy and charisma. He made everyone feel at ease (both the panellists and the audience) which created a genuinely engaging and inspiring atmosphere. The discussion was not only insightful but also a real pleasure to watch.

Matt is a great speaker, a brilliant host, and someone who brings the best out of everyone around him. I’d be delighted to work with him again

I have been connected with Matt on LinkedIn for 7 years and we have exchanged messages / thoughts. However, it was not until I heard him speak twice in the last 12 months where I really saw him come alive with the work and passion from The Happiness Index. Most recently he spoke at a Brunch I was co-hosting and Matt was able to eloquently connect with the audience and theme for the day. He was able to recall on his proprietary data with ease and communicate it clearly and concisely. He is an expert in his field and makes data accessible by using metaphors and stories from real life situations. Combined with a gravitas that is rooted in authenticity and confidence in knowing himself, sparks inspiration in me as a leader and I know others too.

I watched Matt speak at TedX Brighton 2022 and he was so engaging that I've watched his talk several times since then. His talk about 12 million lessons in happiness is about happiness at work, but also the flip side where people are unhappy, burnt out, struggling with emotions and struggling at work. Matt shows people a way forward, not just in his talk, but through his work at The Happiness Index. I often use his talk and work to refer to when talking about workplace culture. He's funny too!

I was lucky enough to be in Matt's 15 min keynote at the CXO conference last week and wished it had been longer. Seriously insightful and thought provoking for businesses of all shapes and sizes, his delivery is also incredibly relatable - separating it from a lot of the typical 'stuffy/overly rehearsed' keynotes generally given.

I've seen Matt speak at multiple events now (most recently at the CXO Summit in London) - he's been exceptional every time. His unique blend of humour and data-based insight make him a compelling speaker. Thoroughly recommend.
