1. 1. The AI Gap — Why the Human Factor is the Real Magic

   Navigating Exponential Technology with a Linear Mind.

   We live in an era of accelerating technological change due to Artificial Intelligence. But while AI grows exponentially, our brains change at a linear pace. How do we prevent teams from becoming paralysed by change or passively observing?

   In this inspiring and interactive keynote, Jan Reinder shifts the focus from “What can AI do?” to “What makes us uniquely human?”. He not only talks about AI but brings it to life on stage: through the clever use of deepfakes and AI tools, he enhances the experience and the audience sees how quickly reality can blur. AI is the ultimate tool to amplify our human skills — creativity, intuition, emotional intelligence, and critical thinking.

   Through live illusions, psychological experiments, and humour, the audience learns how to keep their brains agile, transform fear of change into curiosity, and use AI as a lever for their own potential.

   What does it offer the client?

   • Visual experience: Experiencing deepfakes and AI applications live that engage the audience.
   • Growth Mindset: A fresh perspective on technological innovation and change within organisations.
   • Human acuity: Insights into how to keep the human brain agile in an accelerating world.
   • Immediate activation: Seeing AI as an enhancer of personal talent rather than a threat.

   Ideal for: Kick-offs and conferences on digital transformation, AI innovation projects, teams in the midst of technological change, or as an inspiring finale to an innovation day.

3. 3. Magic Minded — Reprogram the Autopilot & Make the Impossible Possible

   Break through fixed patterns, regain control over your choices, and create the future you want.

   Up to 95% of our daily decisions are made on autopilot — driven by unconscious patterns, assumptions, and ingrained habits. But what happens when we switch off that autopilot? And how do today’s choices directly influence the future we create tomorrow?

   In the Magic Minded keynote, Jan Reinder takes organisations into the psychology of perception, choices, and behavioural change. With his unique background in magic and behavioural psychology, he demonstrates how easily our brain can be deceived by our own assumptions. Jan reveals how fixed patterns hinder innovation and collaboration and provides the audience with the tools to consciously break those patterns. An energetic show-keynote that connects, surprises, and shows that you are in the driver’s seat of change.

   What does it offer the client?

   • Pattern breaking: Insight into how the autopilot works and how to consciously break entrenched habits and assumptions.
   • Control over the future: Awareness of the impact of daily choices on the direction and success of the organisation.
   • Understanding of influence: Comprehension of unconscious decision-making processes, communication, and perception.
   • Connection & Activation: An interactive, connecting experience that inspires teams to think and act more flexibly.

   Ideal for: Team days, change programmes, strategic sessions, and as a powerful, connecting conclusion to a conference or corporate event.

6. 6. The psychology of the wolf

   New in development — inspired by the programme Wolves.

   What happens beneath the surface when people make choices, influence each other, and make decisions?

   In The Psychology of the Wolf, Jan Reinder takes you into the fascinating world of human behaviour. A sharp, interactive, and stunning keynote about the psychology behind our autopilot, group dynamics, and decision-making.

   With psychological insights, humour, mentalism, and live experiments, the audience discovers, among other things:

   • Breaking tunnel vision — why we sometimes only see what we expect to see.
   • Reading the undercurrent — what truly happens before a decision is made.

   • Discovering the wolf within yourself — what our instincts, patterns, and social dynamics tell us about collaboration and leadership.
