Speaking
Speaking is one of my favorite things to do professionally.
I do my best to weave together science, personal and professional experience, and practical wisdom. I bring my core values to every talk: presence, gratitude, courage, and compassion.
Topics you might request a keynote or workshop on:
Mindfulness, Stress-Reduction, Work/Life Balance
Science and Spirituality: interconnectedness, collective consciousness, collective evolution
The Art and Science of Behavior Change
The Psychology of Social/Political (De)Polarization
Conscious Leadership: how to lead the future
Spiritual Growth: self-compassion, working with ego, radical self-responsibility
“We were so happy and thrilled to have Dr. Goodman speak to our community about Mindfulness in the Modern World – How to slow down while everything is speeding up. What an inspiring and relaxing evening it was. Dr. Goodman is engaging, passionate and such a MINDFUL teacher. He answered our attendees questions with grace and thought provoking dialogue. We would love to have him back anytime!”
“Dr. Matthew Goodman was a fantastic speaker at the AIM Youth Mental Health Mind, Meditation, Movement event in Los Angeles for World Mental Health Day. He expertly discussed topics like mindfulness versus meditation and provided valuable insights into the benefits of meditation, including the importance of breath-work and slowing down. His explantation of heart-rate variability made his talk both informative and engaging, and it was clear that he is passionate about the subject. I would highly recommend Matthew as a speaker and hope to work with him again!”
