Last October, I was asked to deliver a TEDx Talk at the University of Architecture Ho Chi Minh (UAH), based around the theme: Black Mirror. I came up with a talk entitled The Value of Your Voice, discussing the trend of choosing to communicate through technology and social media, instead of using our real voice, in real life.

Feedback from some of my clients:
Nghĩa Lê, President - UTC - UEH ISB Toastmasters Club
“It’s always full of energy to work with one of the most awesome trainers like Matt. My friends and members at Toastmaster Club love him so much (so much that they keep asking me when will be the next Matt Sherwood’s training session). The way he inspires us to come up and make a speech is so unique that it can yield love for public speaking from almost any one. Say no more – as a trainer – Matt is a veteran and a warrior, whom can make others become one like him.”
Alejandra Clarke, Personal Trainer and Blogger - Babes & Weights
“Matt Sherwood is an exceptional communicator. He has a way of being that captures the room and motivates and inspires with his positive energy. I had the pleasure of being part of a public speaking seminar where Matt was the leader and I didn’t want to miss a class, the room was always full when Matt was in leading. Gracias Matt for all the encouragement and motivation!”
Rob Austin, Business Manager - Alkermes
"I owe much of my improvement in my communication skills to Matt. Prior to working with Matt, the feeling I would get when I knew I had to speak in front of small or large groups was one of anxiety, sweaty palms, a voice that cracked due to nervousness and outright fear. After working with Matt, I became extremely confident and my employer tells me my speaking and communication skills are unmatched. He always sought to give me personal feedback on a speech (both verbal and written). His workshops are fun, engaging and challenging - in a good way! I highly recommend Matt for anyone who wants to improve their public speaking skills, overall communication skills and their overall self confidence."
Becky Moine, Director of Touring - Live Nation Entertainment
"Matt was very personable and passionate, he took the time to work with each individual to identify his/her goals and create a plan to reaching them. His workshop was informative and fun, he creates a comfortable environment to practice public speaking in a judgement-free zone. I would recommend Matt to anyone who wants to improve their communication skills, speech preparation and overall confidence. He is a great guy and truly cares about the cause!"
Jennifer Puckett, Social Engagement Manager - The Social Element
"I have had to give presentations throughout all of my professional life; and while part of the process is very rewarding, it's also been very stressful. Matt's Communication Community workshops were so positive, he really made these classes a safe place to practice and improve your skills in an environment that felt supportive and positive.
In addition I have since been involved in panel discussions and other public speaking events; and have used Matt's techniques to help me manage my stress in a positive way. I've even had some compliments about my work from colleagues!
Whether you have never given a speech before, or present all of the time, I would definitely recommend working with Matt. I can't wait for his next session!"
Mariano Pérez Silvestro, Student - Saint Andrew's School, La Paz Bolivia
"We met at Saint Andrews School we were a day previous a trip to represent School in a Model of United Nations. Since that day, what you told us helped me to improve. And i wanted to thank you because you helped me to achieve what I am now. Tomorrow I will present as General Secretary of SASMUN. The Model of united nations of Saint Andrews. So I just wanted to thank you."
Denise McCanles, Health and Life Coach - Life Change Up
“I am lucky to have joined Matt’s Communication Community Meetup Group. It’s a wonderful safe place to conquer your fear of public speaking. Matt’s enthusiasm and love for speaking is contagious. He puts you immediately at ease and really supports everyone’s effort. He inspires and motivates! Thanks Matt!”
Miranda Weston, Business Development and Strategy Consultant - SEWNR
“I was able to use all your tips at my first ever pitch event with TechCrunch tonight! I can't thank you enough for running your workshop events in Buenos Aires and Cusco to help me feel prepared.”
