MATT WARD – HR ASSOCIATION SPEAKER
Selecting the perfect speaker for your upcoming HR association event is an important decision. Entrepreneur and author Matt Ward will bring value to your event with his extensive experience and unique perspective around caring, connecting and creating exceptional experiences through hiring, firing, and managing employees, in your business.
Throughout his career as CEO of a digital marketing agency and professional speaker, he’s worked with numerous companies and organizations including small to medium sized businesses as well as the Northern Ohio Human Resource Council (a division of Cleveland SHRM) and HR Tampa!
HR as a whole has been and continues to be faced with challenging times, not unlike other industries, specifically around retaining and recruiting staff. The internet is disrupting the staffing industry on a regular basis. Matt’s extensive experience as CEO of a digital marketing and social media agency gives him the insight necessary to guide attendees how to shift from talking to staff when they are hired and when they are fired, to a more focused approach of connecting in more deeper and meaningful ways with their staff.
Change is inevitable, and it’s a crucial step in establishing long-lasting connections that produce more word of mouth referrals and help us fill the positions we have at our companies without ever having to ask for referrals.

Matt Ward proved to be an incredible, engaging speaker at Maine’s 2019 Annual Bar Conference. In a room full of attorneys, he somehow taught the basics and beyond of building word of mouth referrals, small client contacts that will lead to more growth, and just generally being a better, happier, engaged small business owner. His ideas work, truly. AND, he just happens to be funny, personable, easy to hang with, AND he loves “crazy socks” as I do. He is a HOME RUN!
