THEY WON'T
REMEMBER THE SLIDES.
THEY'LL REMEMBER THIS.

Two ways to book

ONE SPEAKER.
TWO VERY DIFFERENT ROOMS.

A conference hall needs a keynote. A leadership group needs a workshop. They are not the same session delivered at different lengths — pick the one that matches your outcome.

Pathway one

KEYNOTES


For conferences, kick-offs and full-room audiences. 45 minutes to an hour, built around one idea, demonstrated live on the people in front of you rather than described from a slide.

25 to full hall45–60 minTailored to your industry

Pathway two

WORKSHOPS & TRAINING


For teams that need to leave with a skill, not a memory. Smaller groups, hands-on practice, and deliberately capped numbers so everybody actually gets to try it.

Keynotes

SESSIONS THAT DEMONSTRATE,
RATHER THAN DESCRIBE.

Each of these is built on the same principle: prove the idea on the room first, then explain exactly how it worked and where it applies in their job.

Delivering the Body Language and Rapport keynote to a corporate audience
Keynote

Body Language & Rapport

What people tell you before they speak, and how trust is actually built. Practical non-verbal communication for sales teams, leaders and anyone whose job is other people.

Up to 1 hour
Mind Hacker cyber-security awareness session delivered to delegates
Keynote

Mind Hacker — Security Awareness

Social engineering shown, not lectured. The same techniques an attacker uses to earn trust and extract information, demonstrated live — so your people recognise the approach instead of just completing the module.

45 minutes – 1 hour
Delivering the MindSet keynote on a corporate stage
Keynote · Flagship

MindSet

A keynote on the subconscious and the limits people quietly accept — and then, rather than describing how suggestible a confident room really is, it demonstrates it on them using hypnosis. Not a hypnosis show: hypnosis is the proof, the point is what the audience does with it afterwards.

1 hour · From 25 people, no upper limit · Sub-topics available
Workshops & Training

SMALLER ROOMS.
SKILLS THEY KEEP.

Capped, practice-based sessions for teams that need to leave able to do something they could not do that morning.

Facilitating a small-group corporate workshop
Workshop

Memory Techniques

The methods behind remembering every name in a room, a full presentation without notes, or a product list under pressure. Taught as a repeatable system, practised on the day.

1 hour
A ConnectX facilitated dinner in progress
Facilitated experience

ConnectX Dinners

Team building usually stops at the surface. This is a facilitated dinner designed to take a group past it — structured conversation that leaves colleagues genuinely knowing each other.

2 hours + 1 hour networking · Max 30 guests
Phoenix speaking on stage
Coaching

Performance & Speaking Coach

One-to-one and small-group coaching for people who have to hold a room — pitching, presenting, or stepping onto a stage they never trained for. Taught by someone who does it for a living, on television and in front of full conference halls, rather than someone who only teaches it.

By arrangement
What the room leaves with

BOOKED FOR THE OUTCOME,
NOT THE NOVELTY.

Sales teamsBuild rapport faster, read the room accurately, and stop losing deals to a misread signal.
Leadership groupsBetter decisions under pressure, and a clearer view of the biases driving them.
Whole-of-staffSecurity awareness that people actually retain, because they watched it work on them.
Teams that have driftedConnection past the surface level, built deliberately rather than left to a bar tab.
Clients

WHAT THE PEOPLE WHO
BOOKED IT SAID.

“I facilitate a lot of conferences and I had the pleasure of having Phoenix turn up to coach our sales team. He was exactly the right person for this group! It was both fun and entertaining, but really hit home with how to better build rapport with people & get the sale. I absolutely recommend him for your next sales conference or leadership group.”

Murray Fitzpatrick · Sales Trainer

“Phoenix was great to work with and very easy to get aligned and organised before and during the event. We were VERY pleased & really enjoyed Phoenix's presentation as audience members ourselves!”

Petbarn · National Conference

“Thank you for everything Phoenix. Everyone absolutely loved it, well done!”

Thibault Henry · VOLY

“I've never attended an event like this. I feel so much closer to my colleagues!”

Mandy Breckbill

“The world needs more of this right now. I will be booking this for several departments of our company.”

Miranda E.A

“I didn't entirely know what to expect but I was blown away… This is something entirely new.”

About

PHOENIX — THE MIND GUY.

Phoenix — The Mind Guy

Phoenix has spent a career working out how people read each other, what makes them trust, and why they remember one thing from a day and nothing else. That work has been tested in front of television audiences, in university psychology research, and — most usefully for a conference organiser — in a great many corporate rooms that had already sat through three speakers before him.

The sessions are built on the same idea every time: an audience will not retain a principle they were told. They will retain one they watched work on themselves. So the demonstration comes first, the explanation second, and the application third — which is the part most keynotes skip.

Questions

BEFORE YOU ASK.

Conferences, leadership offsites, sales kick-offs, corporate training days and team development sessions. Formats run from a 45-minute interactive keynote to a half-day workshop, and the content is tailored to your people and your industry before the day.
The room takes part. Rather than describing how influence, memory and non-verbal communication work, the session demonstrates them live on the people in the room — then unpacks exactly how it was done and how to use it on Monday. That is why the material sticks when a slide deck would not.
Yes, and it usually is. Sessions are shaped around your objectives, your industry and the outcome you need — whether that is a sales team building rapport faster, a leadership group making better decisions under pressure, or staff recognising a social-engineering attempt before they click.
Keynotes work from around 25 people up to a full conference hall. Workshops and facilitated sessions are deliberately capped so everyone can take part — ConnectX dinners run to a maximum of 30 guests.
Worldwide, from a base in Sydney. Domestic and international travel and logistics are handled as part of the booking.
