Matt Weinstein Biography
Matt Weinstein is recognized as the nation’s foremost authority on the use of fun and humor in team building. Known as "The Master of Playfulness" by People magazine and "America’s Pied Piper of Play" by the Houston Post, Weinstein's approach has earned extensive coverage in national newspapers, magazines, and television appearances.
Weinstein is the founding president of Playfair, Inc., an international consulting firm headquartered in Berkeley, California. Playfair's guiding principle is, "If you take yourself too seriously, there is an excellent chance you’ll wind up seriously ill!" He has been inducted into the Professional Speaker’s Hall of Fame by the National Speaker's Association and recognized by Successful Meetings Magazine as one of the "21 Top Speakers for the 21st Century."
His television special "FUN WORKS!: The Power of Humor in the Workplace" brought him national acclaim when it was broadcast nationally on PBS. Weinstein is also a prolific author, with titles that include "Gently Down the Stream," "Dogs Don’t Bite When a Growl Will Do: What Your Dog Can Teach You about Living a Happy Life," "Managing to Have Fun," and "Work Like Your Dog." His book "Dogs Don’t Bite When a Growl Will Do" was the #3 bestseller on the nationwide list, What CEOs Are Reading.
Weinstein's keynote presentations are dynamic, involving audience interactions that are integral to his lecture programs. His long-term partnerships with major corporations like AT&T, IBM, and PriceWaterhouseCoopers have been instrumental in helping them reward, retain, and revitalize their key employees. Weinstein not only energizes workforces and reduces job stress but also builds enthusiastic teams. He teaches how to foster a corporate culture of support and celebration at work. His primary goal is to demonstrate that work can indeed be fun, transforming the corporate environment into a more supportive and celebratory space.
