Matthew Kelly has dedicated his life to helping people and organizations become the-best-version-of-themselves. Born in Sydney, Australia, he began speaking and writing in his late teens while he was attending business school. Since that time, more than four million people have attended his seminars and presentations in more than fifty countries.

The Matthew Kelly Foundation was established in 1995 to help young people discover their mission in life. Over the past fifteen years Kelly has visited several hundred high schools, inspiring students to use their lives to make a contribution. The Foundation’s most recent initiative is a grade school program entitled, Why Am I Here? Matthew is also active as a Catholic speaker and author.

Raised Catholic, he has been saddened by the lack of engagement among Catholics and founded The Dynamic Catholic Institute to research why Catholics engage or disengage and explore what it will take to establish vibrant Catholic communities in the 21st Century.
