Keynote Speaker: The Magic of Showing Up

“Joshua Lozoff’s presentation, The Magic of Communication, was one of the absolute best presentations we’ve ever had at the agency. The way he seamlessly blended his incredible magic skills with his message of how to better communicate and engage in your everyday life was nothing short of magical. He connected quite wonderfully with our staff, and 90% of the staff rated him at 4 stars or better. We would absolutely recommend any and everyone to hire him, and would absolutely love to have him back!”

The Magic of Showing Up:
What Show Business Taught Me About Bringing Out the Best in Myself and Others

We all want to feel like we can be ourselves, yet so much gets in the way —cultural norms, professional expectations, even the stories we tell ourselves. When this happens, we miss opportunities to grow, connect, and make a difference. So, how can we show up as our true selves? And how can we create space for others to do the same?

Josh Lozoff has spent decades captivating audiences on stage and screen, as a TV and film actor and magician. In this dynamic presentation, Josh reveals his top 3 secrets for helping everyone feel they matter, using magic, audience interaction, and even some wild stories from his Hollywood years! He believes that when we show up authentically, we create the conditions for others to feel valued too.

At the end of this session, attendees will walk away inspired and equipped with practical tools to bring out the best in ourselves and those around us.

Learning Outcomes

By the end of this presentation, attendees will be able to:

  • Identify and overcome barriers to authenticity in themselves and others, leading to improved communication and stronger relationships in both professional and personal settings.
  • Use curiosity-driven techniques, such as “Radical Benefit of the Doubt,” to foster trust, reduce assumptions, and build meaningful connections..
  • Integrate the principles of being genuine, curious, and present into their daily interactions to build stronger relationships and foster more inclusive environments.

“I wanted to reach out and thank you for everything you did at NCLGBA’s Summer Conference. The feedback we received from both your keynote address and the Strolling Magic has been nothing short of tremendous! You were able to simultaneously provide the attendees with useful tools that can be incorporated into both their work/personal lives, as well as, for many, something they have never before experienced. I cannot express my gratitude enough for providing the Association with something that no one has ever provided, and creating once in a lifetime memories for many attendees. The magic stood on its own, but finding a way to tie it into improving ourselves was unmatched.

All this to say I am extremely grateful for the opportunity to work with you and know that it will be hard-pressed, if not assuredly impossible to find someone to follow you at our next series of conferences.
