Signals For Success:
The Body Language of Sales and Leadership
In the world of sales and leadership, true influence extends beyond words alone. Drawing from over 34 years as an entertainer, mentalist, and expert in nonverbal communication, I reveal the crucial role of body language in driving success. “Signals for Success” equips teams with actionable insights to build trust, seal deals, and inspire action—both face-to-face and through digital channels.
What you’ll learn:
- Master the art of making a lasting impression in every interaction.
- Decode hidden buying signals and decision-making cues.
- How to establish immediate credibility and trust.
Standing Ovation Customer Experience
It’s a performer’s (and entertainer’s) job to convert indifferent people into cheering, applauding fans. As a corporate leader, that should sound familiar: Every day, you build toward conversions, seeking to create a loyal, satisfied customer base. In this program, I’ll extract lessons from the world of show business to create standing-ovation-level customer experience.
What you’ll learn:
- How to establish a deeper connection with potential and current customers
- Practical communication skills to help you read and respond to your customers
- Techniques to push your customer experience to the next level

Change can feel overwhelming, but what if your team could channel that energy, break through barriers, and turn challenges into opportunities? The truth is, they can—and I’m here to show them how.
“Achieving the Impossible” isn’t just another keynote. It’s an interactive, high-energy experience that combines over 30 years as an entertainer and mentalist with practical business insights. Through storytelling, mind-bending demonstrations, and hands-on engagement, I’ll help shift perspectives and prove that we’re capable of more than we think.
What you’ll learn:
- What self-limiting beliefs are, and how to recognize them
- Strategies for dealing with overwhelm
- Ways to adapt and collaborate with others for better results
The cure for the common keynote
Are you looking for a keynote speech that energizes and engages your audience? I’ve got you covered.
During my career as a mentalist, I developed and honed sharp people-reading skills that help me understand what people were communicating through even the most subtle sign. Today, I’m able to translate those learnings into lessons and share tangible, practical content for corporate audiences. And because of my background in theater and entertainment, I deliver those lessons through captivating, moving performances – because when people are engaged, they’re more receptive to learning.
I believe that good communication requires re-evaluating the ways in which we listen to each other, how we read each other, and what we tell each other both verbally and non-verbally. When teams communicate effectively, they connect in potent ways that enable them to achieve more. And the results speak for themselves.

Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely. As a seasoned corporate presenter, I ensure every keynote I deliver incorporates humor that’s crafted to disarm and engage audiences while keeping everyone comfortable. I never delve into topics that may be divisive or offensive.
Although mentalism is not the central focus of my keynote speeches, I do incorporate mentalist touches into each program to illustrate points and engage audiences. Any time I use mentalism, it directly applies to a message or process I’m discussing.
I’m very adaptable when it comes to stage and audience size. Over the course of my career, I’ve given presentations in almost every imaginable space for audiences of all shapes and sizes. That work taught me how important it is to be adaptable. So I’ve built all my performances to be able to easily adapt to many different conditions. Don’t hesitate to contact me if you’re unsure whether your space or audience will be a fit!
Typically, my presentations run from 45 to 90 minutes in length. Occasionally, however, I get asked to provide a hybrid of a keynote and workshop that can run two hours. I work with you to find the best fit for your needs.
