Matthew Kelly, The Dream Manager

Matthew Kelly is a fellow Australian based in North America. More importantly, Matthew Kelly is a real force for change in the world of great work and following your dreams. In his 12 books, his consulting work and speaking work (he’s spoken to over 4 million people in the last 20 years!) Matthew addresses how we fulfill the best version of ourselves.

Matthew has sold millions of books, including The Dream Manager, The Rhythm of Life and The Seven Levels of Intimacy. He has also created the The Matthew Kelly Foundation to spread his strategies on how we become the best version of ourselves and to help high school kids figure out what they’re going to do with their life.

In this interview Matthew and I talk about:

• The insight that people don’t exist for organizations. Organizations exist for people.
• The 12 dream areas: physical, emotional, intellectual, spiritual, psychological, material, professional, financial, creative, adventure, legacy and character
• How to get members of your team to become dream managers for each other
• Why you need your own dream manager, whether you’re the janitor or the CEO
