What can you do when facing the deepest and darkest moments of adversity?
Like most successful people, Coach Doherty has faced his fair share of challenges and adversity throughout his life. In this intimate look at some of his own personal experiences, Coach Doherty explains how adversity can become an asset and, in fact, is one of the main ingredients for success.
Every American loves a great comeback story — to watch the hero undergo a trial by fire and come back strong against all odds. In this talk, Coach Doherty explores the three paths available when faced with adversity and introduces a five-step framework for building a resilient team — everything from pre-planning to training for special situations.
Key takeaways include:
Coach Doherty was sitting in an emotional intelligence class at Wharton when he first read the words: “leadership is a learned behavior.” He explains, “This was the most exciting thing I ever read in my life.” Imagine the possibilities in this statement after a lifetime of hearing, “Leaders are born, not made,” an unfortunate misconception in today’s society.
Can leadership skills be learned? Coach Doherty answers with a resounding “Yes!” In this series on leadership strategies, he explores the fundamentals of leadership and time-tested lessons for today’s up-and-coming leaders. Also covered are six essential principals of leadership known as STEVIT. Each potential leader must analyze Self, Team, Environment, Vision, Industry, and mine for the Truth to fully understand the playing field before stepping into a leadership role. Coach Doherty also outlines the importance of creating solid statements around core values, vision, mission, and crisis management and providing clear guidance for the team to follow.
Key takeaways include:
Culture doesn’t happen by accident or by chance – a concept Coach Doherty understands all too well. Culture must be intentionally driven.
In this enlightening talk, he teaches leaders to understand why team culture does not just magically happen on its own. He outlines how leaders drive team culture through servant leadership, strategic recruiting, training, and inspiring core values in their followers.
He begins by examining core values and their importance to an organization, works through the “culture starter kit,” and concludes by talking about the termites that can eat away at a corporation’s culture.
Key takeaways include:
There are winners and there are whiners in this world. How we choose which to be will determine our capacity for success.
Coach Doherty will share the secrets he’s learned throughout his career and how he developed his winner’s mindset starting with playing in the parks of New York.
Mindset is the key factor in life. It can make or break a season — and make or break a career. It affects your dreams, your path and your results either positively or negatively.
Learning winning strategies for success creates a framework for meeting life’s challenges face-to-face.
Key takeaways include:
Coach Doherty explores the delicate balance between confidence and connection in high-level sales and leadership. Sales professionals often rely on ego—driven by the desire to win, close the deal, and be the best. While that competitive fire is essential, too much ego can lead to a transactional approach that ignores the client’s true needs.
This keynote challenges that mindset, demonstrating how the most successful salespeople and leaders blend ego with empathy. Drawing from his experiences as a college basketball recruiter and a Wall Street bond salesman, Matt illustrates how trust, active listening, and emotional intelligence are the real game-changers in selling and leadership.
Matt breaks down the psychology behind decision-making and influence, showing why empathy is the ultimate competitive advantage. The key is knowing when to push and when to pull back.
