TALKS & SEMINARS
We offer engaging lectures and participatory workshops that deliver actionable tools proven to help leaders and their teams.
Tobias Beckwith has been teaching communications and performing arts for several decades. More recently his fascination with the workings of the human mind, inspired by a wide range of influences from neuroscience to shamanism, hypnotic suggestion and the workings of the super-changemakers he thinks of as "real wizards" have inspired him to take the tools of actors, yogies, scientists and magicians and find ways to make those techniques useful for leaders in the business realm. Talks inspire more effective leadership, innovation and the power to create change in the world. All talks are interactive and use performance magic and stories to make sure their messages are effective -- and entertaining -- for each audience.
Anthropologist and organizational expert Paul Draper has taught at the University of Nevada-Las Vegas and served as a master lecturer at Yale University.

Performing Skills for Entrepreneurs
While still in graduate school, Tobias Beckwith was drafted to teach acting and public speaking, and he has continued to develop skills and knowledge in both areas ever since.
Actors learn to transform themselves quickly in ways that not only affect others but also change their own minds. Things you once thought you could never do suddenly become not only possible, but easy. Once the techniques are learned, you can use them in many situations.
It’s the same with the ability to communicate in any kind of organization -- whether as a speaker, meeting participant, or otherwise. Learn to connect with your audiences. Discover the ability to define clear goals, and then use effective communication and persuasion to achieve those goals. Leadership is a skill that can be learned and developed by anyone, regardless of their background or current position.
“Change your mind to change the world.”
Tobias Beckwith worked on Broadway with some of the biggest stars and has been in leadership production roles for some of the most successful and longest running musicals of all time. He has taught theater and communications at several universities and research I institutions and corporations.
