Here’s a question I get asked a lot: “So what’s your keynote actually about?”
Fair question. Also, slightly the wrong one.
I don’t have a keynote. I have a methodology — How To Think Like A Mind Reader — and five different doors your team can walk through to get into it. Which door we use depends entirely on what’s actually going on in your organisation right now, not on whatever slide deck I happened to build last time.
That might sound like a marketing line. It isn’t. It’s just how I’ve learned to do this properly.
The bit that doesn’t change
Every session, whichever door we take, uses the same foundation: live demonstrations of psychology, influence and human perception, performed on your actual audience, in real time. I read minds on stage. That part’s non-negotiable — it’s the whole reason anyone remembers the session six months later instead of filing it under “generic conference speaker, forgettable.”
What changes is what the mind reading is in service of. And that depends on your team.
The five doors
1. How To Think Like A Mind Reader — the flagship. If you want the full masterclass on growth mindset, creative thinking and reading a room, delivered through live mentalism, this is it. Works everywhere from all-hands meetings to sales kick-offs.
2. The Psychology of Influence & Persuasion — for teams whose job is, one way or another, changing someone’s mind. Sales, client-facing roles, negotiation. I use the same techniques I use to seemingly predict decisions on stage to unpack why people actually say yes.
3. Reading the Room — the art of noticing what people aren’t saying. Leadership teams and HR professionals get the most out of this one, mostly because their entire job is picking up on signals everyone else misses.
4. Growth Mindset & The Art of the Impossible — every trick I do looks impossible until I explain the thinking behind it. This session borrows that structure to help teams reframe their own “impossible” problems. Good for anyone heading into a hard year.
5. Peak Performance Under Pressure — I perform live, in front of thousands of people, with zero safety net. This one’s about what that actually takes, mentally, and how the same tools apply to your next big pitch, presentation or negotiation.
So which one do you need?
Honestly? I don’t know yet — and neither should you, before we’ve talked. That’s rather the point. Before I ever step on your stage, I spend real time understanding what your team is actually dealing with. Sometimes the answer is one of the five above. More often, especially for longer sessions, it’s a blend of two or three.
If you’ve got a theme, a message, or a slightly awkward internal joke you need me to land — tell me. I’ll find a way to weave it in. That’s not a promise so much as a pattern; it’s the thing clients tell me, unprompted, that I do best.
