+ 5 moreTEDx speaker and professional mentalist helping teams handle change, uncertainty and pressure | 1,000+ events, 100+ five-star reviews.
Andy Nunn helps organisations prepare their people for change, uncertainty and the future of work.
Blending live mentalism, humour and behavioural science, Andy shows audiences how quickly the mind fills in gaps, makes assumptions, misses information and reacts under pressure. His keynotes are not lectures about change. They are interactive experiences where people see their own thinking patterns play out in real time.
This makes Andy a strong fit for organisations navigating AI disruption, transformation, restructuring, growth, new ways of working, or periods of uncertainty.
His signature keynotes include Mind The Gap, which explores the space between stimulus and response, and Wonderfully Uncomfortable, which helps teams handle uncertainty, challenge old patterns and act with more clarity when the path ahead is unclear.
Audiences leave with practical tools to think more clearly, question assumptions earlier, communicate with more influence and stay composed when change feels uncomfortable.
Book Andy if you want more than a motivational talk. You want a keynote that helps people see uncertainty differently and gives them a practical way to move through it.

Bart Walsh transforms teams with powerful strategies on resilience, change management, and wellbeing.
If you're looking for a inspirational speaker who will leave your audience genuinely moved, thinking differently, and still talking about it months later, Bart is who you're looking for.
He's a resilience specialist who works from the inside out, helping people discover a kind of strength they didn't know they had and a practical framework for using it when things get hard. And in times of relentless change and uncertainty, things always get hard.
What makes Bart different isn't the credentials, though they're real:
- Former Head Coach of Jetts Fitness Australia,
- Elite personal trainer with decades at the pointy end of high performance, leadership, and human behaviour
- One of Australia's most respected voices on wellbeing and mindset.
What makes Bart different is the life behind the work. He survived cancer at 23, lost his firstborn son, and lives with a degenerative neurological condition.
He stands on your stage not asking for sympathy, but showing your audience exactly what it looks like to own your circumstances, seek discomfort, and love your fate anyway. That's not a performance. That's a life lived, and rooms feel the difference.
What Bart delivers:
- Keynotes audiences are still quoting years later
- Health & wellbeing presentations and workshops with real behavioural change built in
- High-energy team activities that shift culture, not just mood
- A practical resilience framework your people will actually use on Monday
Whether you're planning a conference, an offsite, or a company-wide wellbeing event, Bart will elevate your room and leave every person in it stronger than when they arrived.
If you want a speaker your audience will remember, and a result your organisation will feel, enquire today.

I bring a unique perspective to corporate speaking and motivation by blending real-life experiences from my aviation career — including the loss of my airline pilot career due to cystic brain disease — with powerful lessons in resilience, leadership, and navigating adversity.
What sets me apart is my ability to take audiences on an emotional journey: one that’s inspiring, entertaining, and deeply practical. My storytelling is real, raw, and delivered with humour — I make people laugh, think, and reflect.
I don’t talk about perfection — I focus on progress. I give audiences the tools they need to face challenges with confidence, embrace setbacks as part of growth, and move forward with clarity and purpose.
My message is simple: no matter how turbulent life gets, it’s how you respond that defines your path forward.
