Wizardsway.net is the website created for my books The Wizards Way and The Wizards Way to Powerful Presentations…but it’s not the only place to learn the core principles of the special form of leadership and innovation that I teach in those books.

Since those books came out, we’ve created The Wizard Venture…you might be reading this on our website of that name (wizardventure.com). Through the Wizard Venture, we provide keynote talks, workshops and one-on-one counseling to help you and your group become more effective in all your endeavors. Imagine having your own magic wand that you could wave and cause any change you want to see in the world. We can show you how to create and use that wand. Not only that…but you’re going to have a great time learning!

Wishing each of you all the powers of a true wizard!

I have to admit…this has sometimes been one of my own shortcomings.

If Einstein were alive today, he would include all online news and social media as part of what we need to spend less time taking in and more time really thinking about.

But when do you find the time for that thinking? You have to make it. Ruthlessly carve it out of your schedule and make the time. For me, it’s often a walk in nature first thing in the morning. That’s a walk without music, podcast, or anything else but myself and the nature around me. That’s when new ideas and understandings come. That’s when I sometimes discover those “ideas worth sharing.” How about you?

I’ve been teaching and directing presentations and presenters for almost 40 years now…and so I’ve seen a lot of people with stage fright and fear of speaking. This is one of the keys to transcending that–focus on your audience and your purpose. If you believe in the purpose, and see your talk or presentation as being the best way to achieve that purpose for this audience…you’ll forget your fear. What’s more, your own passion will be felt by that audience, and you greatly increase your chance of success!

This is the reason, both at The Wizard Venture and the McBride Magic & Mystery School (Magic is a unique and entertaining visual aid, and magicians make great presenters!), we offer special workshops in presenting. The ability to craft and deliver a persuasive and entertaining talk, either in person or over the internet, is one of the keys to success for any leader. These are skills which frighten many–and yet once we get you past that initial fright, they are a source of fun, power and clear thinking.  Learn more here: http://wizardventure.com/power-presenter-workshops.html

Remember your favorite teacher from high school or college? That teacher who entertained, informed, and–especially–inspired you? That person probably changed your life for the better. I can think of 2 or 3 from my years of study. They’re rare, but when you find one…well, you and your life get better.

The photo here is of Jeff McBride, a world-class performer and founder of the McBride Magic & Mystery School. Magicians travel from all over the world to study with Jeff, taking advantage of his vast knowledge, library and experience. What many don’t realize is that he is also a brilliant and entertaining speaker outside the classroom. 

That’s why we’re delighted to be able to make Jeff’s talks on innovation, directing attention and team-building to the wider community of businesses visiting Las Vegas for their conventions and incentive meetings. If you’re looking for something different, someone who can energize and inspire your group…drop me a line!

Are you a world-changer, or world-maintainer? The world needs both…but if you’re creating a business or leading a team, you need to adopt the mindset of a world-changer. That’s the creative, pro-active, fully responsible mindset. Not easy if you’re not used to doing it…but essential if you really want to affect change!

Last weekend Jeff McBride was inducted to the Magicians’ Hall of Fame. A rare honor, indeed. Many know Jeff for his dynamic performances, and his teaching…indeed the McBride Magic & Mystery School is generally thought of as the premier school for magicians in the world.

However…many aren’t aware that McBride is also an inspiring speaker, sharing the experiences that have made him one of the world’s top magical performers and teachers with business leaders and innovators around the world. Hard to find a speaker who is both as inspiring and entertaining as Jeff McBride!
