A speaker, trainer, and executive coach, Matt Lutz has over 30 years of communicating with and educating audiences of all types. Before becoming a SME and trainer, he served 10 years as a non-commissioned officer in the U.S. Marine Corps, spent twenty-one years pastoring and successfully built a large church from scratch (growing from 7 to 200 members), and served as a top sales performer. He even performed on stage as a singer and dancer at Walt Disney World. This unconventional journey has given Matt an in-depth understanding and wisdom that he draws upon to aid organizations when navigating change. As a trainer and executive coach for Elevate USA, Matt brings Dale Carnegie Manager Training expertise to topics including Change Management, Leadership Development, Sales, Healthy Communication, Financial Security, Decision Making and Problem Solving, Trustworthiness and Ethics, Motivation, Interpersonal and Workplace Relationships, Conflict and Stress Management, Presentation Skills, and Supervisory Skills.
