Upbeat! Choose Your Focus, Change Your Life – Dr. Matthew Arau – KEYNOTE SPEAKER
Connected Leaders Academy
In this inspiring keynote for entrepreneurs and leaders, Dr. Matthew Arau invites you to step into the power of focus, intention, and gratitude. Drawing from his Upbeat!® philosophy, he’ll show how the way you choose to see and respond to life determines your energy, your leadership, and your impact. You’ll learn how to “choose your upbeat”—to shift from reaction to intention, from stress to purpose, and from obligation to opportunity. Through the Power of G.E.T.® – Gratitude, Enthusiasm, and Treasure – Matthew shares practical tools to cultivate a mindset that lifts you and those around you. He reminds us of a core ‘Upbeatism’: “Rather than focus on what is wrong, focus on what you want to create.” With strategies grounded in mindfulness, clarity of purpose, and the rhythm of positive leadership, you’ll walk away re-energized to live and lead with joy, direction, and harmony. This session will help you reclaim your spark, elevate your mindset, and make a lasting, positive impact in your work, your relationships, and your life.
