About Matthew, Matthew Tedesco is the author of The Business Buffet: 15 Career Skills They Never Teach\u2014But Everyone Expects You to Know, which distills two decades of global leadership into practical lessons on communication, connection, and culture. He is a senior global business leader, where he has led teams across Asia, North America, and Europe, launched new divisions, and guided organizations through periods of transformation and change. His approach to leadership was shaped not just in the boardroom, but also while studying improv at Second City in New York, where he learned that authentic connection comes from listening and responding\u2014not delivering a script. He also serves as board chair for Global Nomads Group, a nonprofit that expands education and opportunity for youth worldwide. Outside of work, Matthew is a musician (under the name NJMJ), photographer, and lifelong storyteller. He grew up on Long Island in a blue-collar family where hard work and education weren\u2019t just values\u2014they were survival. Today, he lives with his wife, teenage son, and their Labradoodle, who has never once respected a conference call when the mailman shows up.   Here\u2019s a few additional resources for you\u2026 Do you feel called to share your story with the world?
