Matt’s topics for Presentations
“What a mind blowing event, this was, today!
As a blended family of seven we have big emotions right through our home on all different levels.
Today's insight truly resonated and confirmed we are on the right path in our journey.
Your Guest Speakers are genuine and speak from their experience and their heart. We absolutely loved every minute we spent their this morning and cannot wait to see what's instore for your team and ourselves!”
— Nicky (PARENT)
“Recently we were privileged to have Matt as a guest on where we were supporting parents through this difficult 2020. The topic was: how to help children understand their emotions. It was our first “bring your child” event.
Matt was magnificent, engaging and on point. He engaged the children (which is hard to do in a webinar) and engaged the parents. He used experiments to explain and used easy to use language and from the comments parents and children were blown away. We believe this session had great impact across our nation and as a Dad and General Manager of ChildSafe I was blown away. Anyone who gets Matt as a speaker will be truly blessed.
— Neil Milton (GENERAL MANAGER - CHILDSAFE)
“Last Week I watched Neil Milton from ChildSafe interview Matt Runnalls. As a Dad, I really appreciate Matt’s wisdom and understanding about anxiety in children.
He was extremely engaging and easily held my attention. His approach to colours was extremely helpful and we now have some really helpful tools in our basket for managing anxiety with our kids. Really value ChildSafe for bringing Matt & Mindfull Aus to support parents, especially those who have children struggling with anxiety.”
— Joe (PARENT)
