About Speaker Bob Mathers

Bob Mathers is a keynote speaker and leadership coach who helps teams rediscover the curiosity, creativity, and connection that erode quietly as organizations grow. He speaks from experience: a former senior leader who lost the role that defined him, and the credentials he'd built his identity around, before getting sober and discovering the curiosity he'd lost. He now hosts The Growth Mixtape, a podcast with 60+ conversations on what it takes to do meaningful work in a changing world and delivers keynotes to leadership teams and corporate audiences across North America. Senior leaders leave his sessions with language for what they've been feeling, a clear-eyed read on what's actually happening, and a first concrete step back toward the edge they thought they'd lost.
