Matt Hall epitomises the core elements of a true champion and gentleman. He is one of the most polished and engaging event speakers you will ever meet.
Matt brings to life his fascinating story from humble beginnings to unimaginable goals. Matt is a third-generation pilot whose life in aviation has seen intense military combat, multiple near-death experiences and immortalisation in the fastest motorsport on the planet.

Feedback
Matt Hall spoke recently at our annual conference, his presentation was both enthralling and inspiring. His story of courage and perseverance captured the interest of our attendees and in fact caused many to comment on how valuable his speech was. Matt spoke with such intensity and passion, he drew the audience in and painted a vivid picture of his experiences. His determination throughout his career, although unique in its character, is something that we can all aspire to.
We engaged Matt Hall to enhance our company’s risk management capability and what we received was far beyond what we could have ever expected. Our experience with Matt made us more inquisitive about how great we could really become.
Matt’s real-life experiences, the knowledge he imparted and the, “I’m just the same as you” approach left us all reflecting and acting on the opportunities that we have to be safer people and more importantly the reasons why.
Matt introduced a common and down to earth risk management language that still echoes around our work environment. I would encourage any organisation to talk with Matt and his team if you are looking for a way to inspire and motivate a mind-set.
QBE booked Matt Hall a number of times. We were so impressed by his ability to captivate an audience that we engaged him as the QBE Airmanship Ambassador.
The risk mitigation and risk management take away from Matt’s presentations is so thought provoking that it can be applied to any industry or vocation. I recommend Matt highly as a guest speaker, whether it is in the area of airmanship, risk management, motivation, situational awareness or simply entertaining tales from his inspirational life story.
