Matt Weinstein Biography

Matt Weinstein is the nation’s foremost authority on the use of fun and humor in team building. Called “The Master of Playfulness” by People magazine and “America’s Pied Piper of Play” by the Houston Post, Weinstein’s playful vision has been the subject of dozens of national newspaper articles, magazine features, and television appearances.

Weinstein is the founder and Emperor of Playfair, Inc., an international consulting firm based in Berkeley, California whose philosophy is, “If you take yourself too seriously, there is an excellent chance you’ll wind up seriously ill!” Weinstein was elected to the Professional Speaker’s Hall of Fame by the National Speaker’s Association, and was honored by Successful Meetings Magazine as one of the 21 Top Speakers for the 21st Century.

Weinstein’s television special FUN WORKS!: The Power of Humor in the Workplace was broadcast nationally on PBS. His latest book, Gently Down the Stream was released in September of 2006 and his previous book DogsDon’t Bite When a Growl Will Do: What Your Dog Can Teach You about Living a Happy Life was the #3 bestseller on the nationwide bestseller list, What CEOs Are Reading.

Weinstein will help you to energize your workforce, reduce stress on the job, and build an enthusiastic team. Weinstein's long-term partnerships with companies like AT&T, IBM, and PriceWaterhouseCoopers have helped them reward, retain, and revitalize their key employees. Weinstein will motivate and inspire your employees to be more productive, and will teach them how to create a corporate culture of support and celebration at work. And most importantly, Weinstein will show your people that work can be fun!
