Matt Garman

Official Feedback from In-Person & Virtual Events

"Matt recently kicked off a conference with his keynote address, and I was truly impressed by the energy he generated in the room and his ability to connect with the audience. His professionalism shone through as he carefully considered the brief and dedicated time before the event to ensure his presentation was focused, engaging, and packed with actionable takeaways. I wholeheartedly recommend Matt for future events and we’re really looking forward to collaborating with him on upcoming projects." - Mike, Director, MJP Media & Events

"I met Matt in my role as the host and MC of a business leaders speakers' conference. Matt was a pleasure to work with. He happily engaged with me the previous week when I invited him to a briefing call to talk me through his presentation. On the day, he arrived in plenty of time - so I could double check my introduction, and he could check his slides, and the overall format of the day. Matt kept to time and worked brilliantly to the brief. His talk was well received, authentically delivered with meaningful 'takeaways' for an audience wanting to be inspired and 're-energised', as per the theme of the day. Matt stayed for lunch, fully engaging with me, the other speakers and all our guests. If you want a 'safe pair of hands' speaker with an impressive story, I heartily recommend Matt." - John, MC & Former BBC Journalist

"Matt's a terrific speaker - he's got a great story to tell, delivers it brilliantly and draws out pertinent business and personal messages that really connect with an audience. I saw him deliver his keynote to a room of over 100 business leaders and you could have heard a pin drop as he told his extraordinary story - he really did have the audience in the palm of his hand. His content is focused and relevant and I could see him bringing huge value to a wide range of audiences. Highly recommended." - Steve, MC & Speaker Coach

"After meeting Matt at an event, I knew I wanted to book him for our summer lunch with Rolex. Matt personalised his fascinating talk about rowing the Atlantic, with Rolex taglines that fit seamlessly. Delivered in his unique and engaging style, he hit the spot perfectly with our guests. We all felt like we were in the boat with him, as he described the extraordinary highs and lows as huge as the Atlantic waves he had rowed through. His Q&A section was the perfect wrap up, with many asking questions, because they all wanted to hear more of this amazing adventures." - Ashley, Managing Director, Bruford's/Rolex

"We were delighted when Matt agreed to be our Keynote speaker at our 3rd annual Diamond Alumni VIP Lunch. Matt was fun and easy to talk to in the lead up to the event and then captivating from the very start of his presentation, with everyone listening intently and completely engaged. He blew us all away with his recap of "The Toughest Row in the World". It was inspiring to hear the highs, lows and lessons learnt from his challenging 49-day row across the Atlantic Ocean where his team raised over £100,000 for charity - incredible! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Matt if you are considering him to speak at your event!" - Sally, Managing Director, Gatwick Diamond Business

"Wow, having only just Matt when presenting to our Manufacturing Association on Leadership and Sustainable Sales I can honestly say what an inspirational guy. Matt took a session taking a group through using practical tools and techniques on how to ensure that your sales team delivers constantly. The session promoted self-reflection, challenged current methods and targeted areas of opportunities to create change. Thanks Matt, that will stay with me throughout the rest of my career, and I will ensure that it gets passed on." - Jason, Managing Director, HSM Manufacturing
