Book Matt for your next keynote

From corporate consultant at PwC to a senior leader in the mental health industry, Matt Defina is a catalyst for change and transformation.

As a qualified Organisational Psychologist with over a decade of experience in high-performance environments, Matt knows what it takes to consistently perform under pressure while maintaining your health and well-being.

Matt has summited Mt Kilimanjaro, trekked to Mt Everest Base Camp, completed an Ironman Triathlon, completed a 10-day silent meditation retreat, scuba dived with sharks, sat with Plant Medicine, and led and participated in over 25+ transformational retreats around the world. Matt has spoken to over 10,000 people across keynotes, live radio and podcasts, and even had the joy of meeting Prince Harry & Meghan Markle during their last trip to Australia.

As a Psychologist, Matt has conducted research on workplace burnout, engagement, adaptive leadership and gender stereotypes. Combined with his research, regular practice as a Leadership Coach and Psychologist, a short stint at PwC in change management and 5 years as a senior leader with mental health organisation, The Man Cave, Matt has a rich understanding of the modern workplace and how to support people to bring out their best.

After navigating his own challenging period of burnout, panic attacks and anxiety, Matt knows all too well what can happen when we don’t create healthy environments at work, or manage ourselves effectively. Now, through his business and podcast, Another Way, Matt empowers purpose-driven people and leaders to create meaningful lives and careers, without burning out.

Matt is not here to go to his grave with any regrets and he doesn’t want you to either!

Client Reviews

Thanks so much for today, Matt - I found the session incredibly valuable and I think it will resonate with a lot of people, myself included.

I particularly appreciated the concept of focusing on one “OMG” every 90 days. I’m definitely guilty of trying to tackle everything at once and then losing momentum, so this really shifted my thinking.

I also found the emphasis on taking time to pause and reflect really impactful. It’s something we rarely prioritise, yet it makes such a difference in helping refocus on what truly matters.

And finally, the reminder to focus on what genuinely makes me happy - rather than what others expect- was a strong takeaway for me.

“Hey Matty, honestly the workshop was incredible. Thank you so much. Even though I already knew the frameworks, just to have that dedicated time to stop slow down and be guided by you was amazing. Seriously appreciated it.

Feeling excited about what I can do moving forward from here. Thank you again. You are a gun and the world is lucky to have you”
