Teams that work in an empowering culture are more innovative. So how do you inspire your leaders to be empowering and your teams to be innovative? They both start with one magic ingredient…Curiosity. 

For 18+ years, Nash walks a unique path as a professional magician by day and a crisis line volunteer by night. Both seemingly different paths taught him one unifying lesson: the power of curiosity. From the crisis line, Nash learned we can empower others by using our empathetic curiosity to listen, to understand, and support. From creating illusions, he learned how curiosity is the spark that drives innovative ideas.

Now as an award-winning TEDx keynote speaker, he unveils the curtain and teaches leaders how to channel their empathetic curiosity to create an empowering human-centric culture; and inspire teams to adapt curiosity-based strategies to drive in more innovative ideas. 

In both keynotes, Nash uses magic, engaging stories, and interactive exercises to guide his audiences to experience the key messages. His presentations had inspired global audiences like Meta, Amazon, Microsoft, TEDx stage etc..  People are the heartbeat of your organization, if you are equally interested in inspiring them to be more curious, innovative, and empowering for each other, let’s have a conversation!

“Nash doesn’t just create magic on stage, his real magic is in his preparations. Weeks prior to our event, he was working with our leadership team to fully immerse himself with our team’s challenges, event goal, and messaging needs.

The day before the event, he came to set up the stage and worked with our A/V team to ensure everything would run smoothly. 

As planners, we really appreciate the peace of mind his dedication & preparations provided us.
It was no surprise that on the day of our event, we were able to sit back and watch his keynote hit every benchmark we envisioned.

The only people who were surprised? Our attendees. At first some were unsure what they could learn from a magician, by the end they were all pleasantly surprised that his tips on curiosity & innovative thinking were highly tangible and relevant to their roles at Microsoft. 

Nash came prepared, dedicated himself to our event goal, crafted an engaging & inspiring keynote that delivered OUR message! We highly recommend him, you’ll love working with him.”
