“Matt Elliott’s keynote at the European American Chamber of Commerce Greater Cincinnati’s annual SUSTAIN conference was an incredibly positive experience for the 100-or so business and industry leaders in the room.
And it was an experience indeed: Matt’s content and delivery captured us all: we were inspired and came away thinking differently, more broadly. There is an incredible freedom and optimism that comes with that. Matt was extremely generous and professional with us, a genuine individual and real pleasure to work with and host.”
