The Illusion of Certainty: A Mentalist’s Secrets to Perception, Attention, and Human Behaviour
What if the way you read people isn’t as accurate as you think?The Illusion of Certainty: A Mentalist’s Secrets to Perception, Attention, and Human Behaviour
We don’t see people as they are. We see them as our brain predicts. As a result, we misread intentions, miss signals, and make decisions made on incomplete information.
In this eye-opening, immersive and interactive keynote, Jordana takes audiences inside the mind to explore how perception, attention, and unconscious bias shape human behaviour in real time. Drawing on her work as a mentalist, she uses illusion as a powerful metaphor to reveal how the brain filters reality, fills in gaps, and confidently tells us stories that aren’t always true, especially when we’re under pressure. Through live demonstrations and thought-provoking real-world examples, audiences learn to spot the signals they’ve been missing, read what people really mean (not just what they say), and make better decisions in meetings and negotiations.
Once you understand how perception really works, it changes how you read people, navigate conversations, and make sense of what’s really happening in front of you.
Who is this for?
• Leaders, managers, and decision-makers who want to develop sharper judgement and read people more accurately
• Sales, negotiation, and client-facing teams who read people for a living
• Organisations focused on decision-making, influence, and human behaviour
• Conferences wanting a thought-provoking, high-impact keynote with edge
Key takeaways:
• Insight into how perception and attention shape behaviour, judgement, and decision-making
• Understanding why we misread people, especially in high-pressure situations
• Awareness of how unconscious bias quietly influences interactions and outcomes
• The ability to spot subtle signals often missed in meetings and interactions
• How a deeper understanding of perception improves communication, influence, and results

Just book Jordana. We wanted a keynote that would bring the energy & fun to an otherwise fairly content heavy conference. Jordana brought this in spades (diamonds, hearts and clubs) Magic and a message all wrapped up in an entertaining and absorbing package. Our delegates left our conference with a twinkle in their eye and a spring in their step. Jordana was an absolute joy to work with.
Jordana was a wonderfully dynamic, engaging, funny, magical speaker. She used so many of her vast skills to get across her beautiful and inspirational message. Thank you Jordana!
We were absolutely delighted with the enthusiasm and genuine joy Jordana brought to our event! The communication prior to the event was a breeze and Jordana met our brief perfectly. It was so refreshing to not be served the same old tired jokes about people, but instead to be wowed, awed and inspired with magic, thoughtful insights and great energy. We were taken on a journey that resulted in a group of people, that are usually quite reserved, running to craft-filled tables trying to build the best Octopus! The resulting laughter and joy was real, and more than one person thanked Jordana personally on the night for her contagious enthusiasm. A memorable experience for everyone. Jordana is inspiring, humorous and a professional entertainer for the modern day. Simply Wonder-Full'. Thank you again for bringing your magic to our Conference.
The only brief we gave Jordana was to end our 2-day conference with a boom! And Jordana did just that! She left our audience in a mountain of laughter, wonder and inspiration! Up until the event, Jordana was fantastic to work with - she was proactive, professional, ensured she understood our organisation and our values, and really showed how much she loves what she does. Jordana is full of energy and extremely funny - our staff were fully engaged and energized. Her session entailed useful life tips, arts and crafts that brought to life the child in all of us and a whole lot of magic! She showed us how anyone can learn new skills and become great at them. Thanks a ton Jordana!
An afternoon with the magical Jordana away from the complexity of a major health service and its 2+ years of COVID challenges was awesome. Card games, mystery and fun were all features on the Borensztajn menu; our clinicians and operational leaders filled with the excitement of younger people as they focused on their arts and crafts in the warm sunlight. The few hours spent in the wonder of magic lifted the mood whilst the jokes and laughter flowed throughout the performance. Thank you Jordana for taking us all back to a time when the wonder of magic was the only problem to solve.
Jordana was amazing. She really put thought into tailoring the presentation for our specific audience and consulted us along the way. Her presentation was active, engaging, funny and informative. I would highly recommend her.

She delivered an outstanding presentation that combined humour and great practical content about building a social media strategy and presence specific to our industry. Jordana was a dream to work with. From the very outset, we were impressed with her professionalism and easy-going nature.
Jordana facilitated a one day pitching/presenting' workshop for the best of our best, during a multiple day training program. Her unique style kept everyone fully engaged through the entire day, which was incredible as there were people from all over the Asia-Pacific-Japan Region. She got everyone so enthusiastic about what they were learning, that the Japanese speakers attempted to present back in English! Jordana took a group of very competent communicators and made them much better. I will definitely be asking her to help us again and I can highly recommend her as a highly skilled trainer and communicator, and a pleasure to work with.
From the very first briefing call Jordana has been an absolute pleasure to deal with. In fact, like no other. She really engaged and learned about our group which was evident on the day. Her energy is a breath of fresh air, although her request for me to capture a photo proved difficult. She doesn't stand still long enough! Getting down amongst the audience is something that particularly works well to keep the group engaged. She was wonderful and I'll be thinking of ways to have her back in the future, even if on a smaller workshop level.

We had the pleasure of working with Jordana as the MC for our client’s staff conference, and she was nothing short of phenomenal. Her energy and presence kept the day moving and the audience engaged, and her surprise magic acts added a fun twist to what could have been just another standard conference. What stood out was Jordana’s commitment to creating a tailored experience. She wrote custom jokes and a fully personalised script that aligned perfectly with our client’s brand and culture. Both our team and the client loved working with her, and we look forward to collaborating again.
Jordana is endearing, engaging and clever in her delivery. She read the room extremely well and managed to encourage the involvement of everyone. We would happily engage Jordana again and recommend her to anyone wanting an entertaining and fun experience.
As the first keynote speaker on Day 1 of the conference, Jordana's energetic, fun and inspirational presentation set the mood for the entire conference and provided content that was referred to throughout the conference. Jordana's presentation made the delegates feel welcome and prepared them for an engaging and informative conference. Jordana's pre-work and research on the records management industry was on point, as she tailored her presentation to suit the audience. RIMPA would happily recommend her for any industry conference
The audience was actively engaged due to Jordana's dynamic speaking ability and interactive presentation style. Also, through combining humour, and an informal but highly focused keynote presentation, Jordana demonstrated good communications principles and how social and digital media has changed the world.

Jordana was awesome. She really did her research, hit the brief spot on and took day 2 of our conference to the next level. Her attention to detail was amazing, she engaged with numerous people in CUA to get the stories, information and lingo to make it feel like she was part of our team. Jordana is a very funny lady, had the audience laughing and achieved everything we expected plus more. I would highly recommend Jordana for her passion, attention to detail and most of all her great sense of humour.
