About Matt Brady · The full picture

Matt Brady is Australia’s leading Pressure Performance keynote speaker and the creator of Championship Neuro-Biology™. His work answers one question: how do you perform under pressure when it matters most? After 22 years studying why some people rise under pressure while others crumble, his answer is that pressure does not remove skill, it changes access to it, and that access is trainable. He created the Access Gap™ to measure the distance between trained capability and what a person can actually reach under real stakes, and built the Five Faces of Pressure™ (Performance, Outcome, Avoidance, Relational and Growth) and the Championship Cycle™ (Clarity, Certainty, Flow and Momentum). Matt works with CHROs, L&D leaders, C-suite executives and peer group chairs across EO, YPO, Vistage, CEO Institute and AICD. He is the author of The Back 9 and has spoken for organisations including Optus, Red Bull Australia, NAB, St.George, Ricoh and Channel 9 across Australia, Asia and the United States.

Using Championship Neuro-Biology to Ignite Results Under Pressure
