CONFIDENCE in CONFLICT WITH Matt McKenna
Speaking
You want a speaker who can walk the tightrope: challenge and entertain.
I do just that, captivating audiences with fun and impactful material.
Training
Healthy conflict requires skills, shared understanding, and commitment.
Give your team all three with tailored, practical workshops.
Consulting
When conflict escalates and tensions run high, you need an expert.
As a Qualified Mediator and facilitator, I support the journey to a productive, healthy state.
“Warm energy, sharp insights”
Matt embodies and defines the distinction between conflict resolution (for which expectations are often near impossible to meet) and conflict management.
He listens actively, homes in on the areas where agreement can be nurtured and solidified while giving a solid foundation for working through the areas of contention.
Everyone leaves their interactions with Matt feeling heard, understood, and well served.
“I am deeply grateful”
Matt’s ability to approach conflict holistically is unparalleled.
He seamlessly blends empathy with candidness, ensuring that all participants feel heard while fostering an environment of accountability and progress.
His expertise in facilitation, deep understanding of human behaviour, and innate ability to create participant buy-in were instrumental in resolving internal conflicts, surfacing root causes, and crafting long-term, sustainable solutions. His ability to blend strategic thinking with compassion has created a lasting impression.
“Intuitively knows the best approach”
Matt is one of the most gifted facilitators I have ever worked with. He’s deeply empathetic and skilled at helping people unpack and navigate all forms of conflict and tension. He brings positive energy into every interaction. I’d be thrilled to speak directly with anyone considering work with Matt.
“I wish we had more time!”
Matt was super funny, informative, and is a great speaker. I understood everything he shared and found myself considering things more deeply because the content was so engaging.
WHO IS MATT MCKENNA?
I help people reconnect when it matters most, whether it’s a group learning together, a team in conflict, or two leaders who’ve stopped speaking.
I’ve worked with organizations of all kinds, from corporations of all sizes, to governmental bodies, to faith communities. I support people to develop conflict skills, rebuild trust, strengthen partnerships, and navigate difficult times with clarity so they can move forward together.
Now a Qualified Mediator and seasoned facilitator, my path began on stage as a touring musician. Today, I bring the same focus on harmony and connection to people, teams, and organizations.
