Inspirational and focused presentation. Gave an invaluable insight into Senior Management and what’s required on a daily basis. Offered unique advice on how to overcome particularly challenging staffing situations, I couldn’t believe what he has experienced and dealt with!
Matthew would be an inspiring addition to any Professional Learning Day or a guest speaker to those considering applying for Senior Leadership positions – couldn’t recommend highly enough.
Matthew presented at the SCIS middle leaders conference I attended. His content was both engaging and relevant. In giving insight into his experiences, which had been both positive and challenging, he connected with the group in both an inspiring and educational way.
