Born into a family of actors, directors, musicians and comics, it is no surprise to see Matthew Mockridge dabble in live entertainment from a very early age. At only 28, the young entrepreneur has created one of the biggest electronic dance music touring giants, Europe has ever seen. His NEONSPLASH – Paint-Party® concept, a cross between Blue Man Group, Cirque du Soleil and a full on rave festival, rolled across the continent in record time and hit over 60 cities in its first 24 months.
What are the core subjects of your keynote speeches?
Next Generation Leadership, Start-Up, Gen-Y, A lot of the companies I work with keep telling me: “We have always done it that way!” The perfect moment for me to offer a totally new perspective and align the different generations within the organisation.
Which audience or which branch do you reach with your speech?
Young and old, all sectors and industries. Personal Leadership is key for anyone, cleaning staff to CEO. How you lead is who you are!
Why are you a Premium Speaker? Where do you get your insights from?
I speak from experience not from theory. Founded my first start-up from a 13m2 dorm room and took that company to 60 cities in less than 2 years. We recruited, led and expanded heavily in a Gen-Y environment. Too many amazing a-ha moments to not share with the world in my books and keynotes!
What will be in the future? Does 'time' play an important role in your work?
The world is changing faster than ever before. Amazing opportunity or impossible change implications – you get to choose.
What is your life motto? What would you like to give your listeners on the way?
If you want a result you never had, do something you never did.
