Transform Your Event with the Magic of Presence!

​

In a world of information overload, your audience doesn't need more content—they need an experience that changes how they show up in their lives and work.

​

Nolan delivers keynotes and workshops that do more than inspire momentary excitement—they create lasting transformation.

​

 

Beyond Traditional Keynotes

What sets Nolan's presentations apart isn't just compelling content—it's his unique ability to weave together:

• Somatic Experiences

  • Audiences don't just hear about presence—they feel it. Through guided breathwork, movement practices, and interactive exercises, participants embody the concepts in real-time.

• Actual Magic

  • As a member of the Magic Castle in Hollywood, Nolan incorporates mind-bending illusions that serve as powerful metaphors and pattern interrupts. These magical moments create memorable anchors for the content.

• Emotional Intelligence

  • Drawing on his work with Dr. Amanda Kim, Nolan addresses the emotional barriers that prevent high-performance and presence, giving audiences practical tools to break through these limitations.

• Scientific Foundations

  • Every presentation is grounded in cutting-edge research on human performance, making the experiential components even more impactful when audiences understand the "why" behind the practices.
