Conference & Team Presentations
Engaging infotainment-style presentations that combine live psychological illusions with practical insights on communication, innovation, and human connection.
Presentation Topics
Jess offers a range of presentation themes that can be delivered as standalone sessions or tailored to suit your event objectives.
The People Skills Advantage
A practical look at human connection, focusing on communication, presence, and memory techniques that help people build rapport, hold attention and make a lasting impression.
The Challenge
Technical ability alone is no longer enough to get ahead. People skills, such as how we communicate, read others, and build trust, play a major role in who progresses and who does not. These skills influence outcomes and drive success at work and in life.
How This Session Helps
This presentation treats people skills as practical, learnable abilities rather than personality traits. Through real-world examples and hands-on techniques grounded in psychology, audiences will learn how to read situations and communicate more effectively.
Key Takeaways
Memory techniques to recall names and personal details
Practical tools to boost presence and build rapport quickly
A clearer understanding of how perception shapes interactions
Tips on how to read people and adapt communication in real time
The Magic of Thinking Differently
In this experiential presentation, audiences explore what illusionists can teach us about breaking the rules of logic, reimagining what’s possible and unlocking true creativity and innovation.
The Challenge
In fast-moving, complex environments, people often rely on familiar patterns of thinking. Those patterns don’t always serve them. This leads to predictable solutions, resistance to change, and missed opportunities for innovation. When thinking becomes rigid, progress slows.
How This Session Helps
This session uses stories of magicians throughout history to show how the impossible became possible. By pairing these stories with examples of people and organisations who challenged conventional thinking, audiences will see how new possibilities emerge when familiar rules are questioned. The session encourages a shift from default thinking to more creative, flexible problem-solving approaches.
Key Takeaways
New ways to think about what’s possible by recognising how assumptions and perspectives limit potential
Insight into how illusionists and innovators challenge accepted rules to create breakthroughs
Practical ways to spot rigid or habitual thinking before it shuts down creativity
Tools to approach problems with greater flexibility, curiosity, and openness to new solutions
