Matthew Brandt’s life story has taught him what difficult decisions and situations look like. Losing his brother in his early childhood, Matthew had to learn early what it is like to overcome hardship.
Later on, Matthew Brandt became a member of the U.S. Navy Ceremonial Guard and was assigned to President Ronald Reagan's White House staff and Arlington National Ceremony. State dinners, ceremonies and military funerals dominated his daily life until he decided to take on another path and joined law enforcement.
Serving 20 years as a street cop, Matthew had to witness a lot of traumatic events. Although homicides, a school massacre and suicides in his surrounding shaked his ideals to the very foundations, Matthew was able to always keep a positive mindset. As resilience and resistivity became his core competencies, Matthew Brandt started to use them to help others. Matthew brings into business what street cops learn early on in their career: to separate emotion from action; that’s how they survive life on the street.
Matthew Brandt has a genuine, down to earth, common sense approach to life. He has excelled at being the “fixer” of organizations, teams and staff problems at the their core. Helping clients to re-focus, re-organize and to take the sometimes tough decisions necessary in order to stay successful is Matthew's passion.
His real-world stories make him an authentic and trustable speaker who aside from the sobriety of the problems never forgets to laugh.
