What is The Observationist?
Communication and relationships are the core elements of success in business and in life. Observation is critical to communication. Observation is about how one communicates; how they see what is being said to them and the ability to understand nonverbal communication as well. Through demonstrations and presentations tailored to your audience, to deliver your message, The Observationist experience is Entertainment, Education and Enlightenment – using magic, mentalism and even a bit of hypnosis, enabling you to see what people miss every day. The things, that are, in fact, right in front of your eyes.

COMMUNICATIONS MASTERY
" The world is full of obvious things which nobody by any chance ever observes.” - Sherlock Holmes
Communication is likely the most misunderstood art. No matter who you are or what you do, you are selling and being sold to. From actual selling, job interviews, business or technical presentations, 1:1 or team meetings, everyone has a story to tell. Participants will learn storytelling for impact. It's much more than presentation. Crafting compelling stories that grab and hold peoples' attention crucial to success as a communicator. Using techniques of magicians and mentalists, these concepts demonstrate sensory awareness and observation. Participants will have a new understanding of people and communication.

LEADERSHIP AND EMINENCE
"Leaders are made, they are not born. They are made by hard effort, which is the price which all of us must pay to achieve any goal that is worthwhile." - Vince Lombardi
Leaders energize and motivate others and inspire a shared vision. Eminence is about the presence to communicate on an emotional level. These sessions explore how leadership differs from management and uses powerful self-awareness of physical and virtual presence techniques to build leadership and eminence. Speaking with confidence is a skill.
Through directive coaching, participants will learn techniques to effectively deliver messages and inspire confidence, motivate to action, and maximize positive impact on people and on an organization.
