Talking Points
Keynote: Reclaim Your MAGIC
Adam Axford draws on magic, mentalism, and storytelling to show audiences that confidence, curiosity, and connection are built, not simply found. With a background in NLP, hypnosis, and human behaviour, he argues that in periods of rapid change, people need less information and more orientation. Through his MAGIC framework, Mastery, Adventure, Gratitude, Imagination, and Choice, Adam turns each moment of on stage astonishment into a practical lens for how people respond to pressure and uncertainty. The result sits between performance and workshop: audiences are entertained first, then handed a framework they can actually use. It's built for teams and organisations looking to reconnect with presence, meaning, and what makes work feel worthwhile.Keynote: Reclaim Your MAGIC
