Matthew Luhn shares practical tips and techniques for fostering creativity in the workplace and harnessing the power of relationships and authentic stories to connect with communities and customers.
As one of the original story creators at Pixar Animation Studios, Matthew helped build the creative culture at one of the most successful filmmaking groups in the history of Hollywood. Now, he draws from some of Pixar’s most beloved heroes to deliver unique and memorable insight on character traits that define outstanding and authentic leadership—in animation and business alike.
A master storyteller with over 20 years’ experience working on films, TV shows, and video games, Matthew engages audiences with germane anecdotes that entertain while illustrating the principles of great storytelling structure. At the same time, he emphasizes the importance of cultivating a culture that encourages creativity and nurtures new ideas, while embracing fear and failing as a necessary part of the process.
By inviting participants to interact during his workshops and keynotes, Matthew inspires and empowers them to take their own stories from idea to script to finished product.
Matthew’s “Story Seminars” and “Story for Business Workshops” run in New York City, Los Angeles, London, and other major cities worldwide. His “Story for Business Workshops” and keynotes train business leaders and entrepreneurs how to use storytelling to bridge the gap between heart and business to build better brands and business communication, while his “Story Seminars” train attendees how to develop stories and write dialogue to create compelling stories and screenplays.
Matthew trains CEOs, entrepreneurs, marketing teams, directors, and other professionals how to use the secrets of great storytelling to captivate an audience, sell a product, idea, service, or strengthen a brand.

Matthew is one of the most inspiring speakers to use stories and nurture creativity in a workplace. He can open the magic of storytelling, and explain the story creation structure and how to use stories effectively in business and brand building.
Matthew’s ability to connect with the audience and share his valuable insights through stories was truly amazing. There were parts of his talk where the audience would be doubled over in laughter and other instances where the messaging was so touching that many cried. It was a beautiful experience and very inspiring. A great experience that I would recommend for any company.
The story workshop was extremely valuable for my marketing team, from beginners to professionals, setting the essential guide to create an emotional response through every piece of communication. Matthew easily makes everyone relate and fall in love with the theme, providing tools that are easy to apply in the day to day of the business.
Rarely, you’re told a story so clearly, yet with such a sense of discovery and surprise, you find yourself living it, on many levels, simultaneously. Imagine if that story was a story about how the best storytellers make stories. Matthew provides just that balanced magic in his presentation of storytelling. Matthew makes better stories possible.
Matthew’s most recent clients include Adidas, Facebook, BBC, Microsoft, Sony, Warner Brothers, Apple, Google, Clorox and many more.
