I’d love to uplift, inspire, and motivate your audience.
In my keynotes to large audiences and workshops with executive teams, I share how my own life-shaping lessons learned outside, in the wild, can be replicated and applied to your organization.
I’ll demonstrate how adventure, not just in the classic sense of scaling high mountains in remote regions of the world, can teach us how to live each day, each project, and each relationship with intention, focus and humor. All of my presentations center around meaningful conversation.
Here are a few topics I’m passionate about:
- 1) The Five Elements of Adventure as a roadmap for vitality, wellbeing, transformation:
- High Endeavor
- Uncertain Outcome
- Total Commitment
- Tolerance for Adversity
- Great Companionship
2) Full Engagement Leadership: Creating Sustainable Leadership Through Clear Direction and Purpose
3) Uncertain Outcome – Navigating Fear, Challenge, and Uncertainty as a driver for innovation, excellence, and achievement
4) Sustainable Peak Performance: Building Capacity in a World of Unrelenting Demand
Matt Walker has climbed mountains on every continent, earned a master’s degree in applied behavioral science, launched his own adventure company and written a book, Adventure in Everything — all before his 40th birthday.
But he’ll be the first to tell you that what you accomplish isn’t nearly as important as how you go about accomplishing it. What matters, says Walker, is to be mindful and intentional in all your actions, align your values and your actions — from taking your next step on a rock wall to creating excellence in teams and driving innovation in the marketplace.
Matt had an epiphany while climbing by moonlight at 2am at 24,000 feet in the Himalayas: translate the essence of adventure into all aspects of our lives; personal and professional. A guiding principle that supports individuals and organizations to push beyond preconceived notions of what is possible and align their values with concrete action.
Most of all Matt is bold, direct and honest. Your audience will walk away ready to take specific action – with intention and direction.

Testimonials
“Matt Walker was a hit at our annual company summit. He captivated our audience of 300 people with his stories and 5 elements of adventure. The content was inspiring, thought provoking and memorable. In the weeks leading up to the summit, working with Matt was also a breeze! He was incredibly responsive to all email and phone communication. Setting him up for his session was seamless and everything went off without a hitch. With having our event take place at a lodge in the middle of the Columbia River Gorge, Matt could not have made for a more perfect fit!!”
