Ben Hanlin

In the pursuit of becoming a global TV Magician, Ben developed a “toolbox” of skills which he then applied to The World of business.

This led him to becoming a TV Exec, an online viral content creator with over 2 million followers and the co-founder of a digital marketing agency.

As a speaker he distils this knowledge into key areas that cover, Engagement & Connection, Mindset, Confidence, Resilience and Dealing with Failure.

Engagement & Connection – How to Magically engage and connect with any audience, any size, anytime! 

Failing to connect in the workplace can have negative effects across the entire company:

• Staff aren’t clear on their direction
• Leaders/managers can’t inspire, motivate or change their team’s behaviour
• Client relationships suffer, and it’s more difficult to nurture and close potential leads.

In ANY interaction, if you can’t engage or create a connection, your message WILL NOT be received!

Mindset – Failing Forward, Resilience and Goal Setting; How to Magicians Create the Impossible!

A magician, by definition is able to make the impossible….possible. How?

The answer – They don’t have “magic powers” instead, there is a clear process involved coupled, with extremely hard work and resilience.

Ben has applied these skills to multiple ventures and the results have been amazing. From creating and executing hundreds of TV magic tricks, growing a social media following of over 2 million, or creating and building a successful Digital Marketing Agency the core skills remain the same.

His mindset can be distilled and explained in the form of core skills such as:

• Being able to set clear goals – every single trick begins with a crystal clear goal. Ben knows exactly the destination he is heading for – He works backwards to create a step by step roadmap to get there.
• Learning how to Fail – Every trick Ben has ever done has performed has failed at some point. He embraces failure as it is a chance to learn and grow.
• Resilience – If you have a bad gig, the trick goes completely wrong, or the TV show you star in gets cancelled….it’s very hard to get up the next day and keep going. Ben has had so many moments in his career where “the rug has been pulled from underneath him” – in those moments, how do you keep going and keep moving forward.
