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.
