Your mind, and the minds of your employees, are being subtly influenced all the time. These hidden influences cause unnoticed biases in reasoning and decision making, biases which can snowball into hugely expensive mistakes. Steve Cantwell’s talks will open your mind, and teach you when you are being influenced and how to avoid those mistakes. The audience are invited to take part in experiments and demonstrations, working together and keeping the atmosphere fun and exciting. There is so much your employees will learn about how the mind really works, and how to harness its power. They will leave knowing how to make better, more rational, decisions and judgememts.”
“The one word that best describes Steve Cantwell’s performance is Phenomenal! His performance helped make our Annual Offsite dinner a huge success. We wanted something ‘unique’ and were delighted to find an extremely talented individual, who was tremendously skilled, intelligent, humorous, and also presents a show that fits our professional standard.”
“Steve delivered a combination of training on cognitive bias and magic tricks around the dinner table, he left the group feeling inspired and blown away by the overall jaw dropping act. A perfect mood was set by Steve for the remainder of a brilliant evening, which we were really grateful for. Steve’s act would be perfect for any business or private events- it was truly perfect and was exactly what we were looking for.”
“Thank you so much for attending our Carer Evening. All our carers found your presentation on Memory skills and Cognitive Bias extremely interesting and also very helpful and relevant to their personal experiences. We were all impressed with the card trick and despite now realising that you probably have some cognitive technique that you use when performing the trick we all agree that it was real magic. We haven’t stopped talking about it since the evening!”
“Our members thoroughly enjoyed your talk which kept us captivated throughout. Your presentation was excellent – eloquent, confident and, at times, humorous, and the audience participation added to the overall interest.
We learned many fascinating facts about our brains and our memories. The content of the talk was thought-provoking as it challenged our powers of observation, and demonstrated how easily our decisions – and, somewhat worryingly, those of people in positions of power – can be influenced and manipulated.”
“Some have already read and enjoyed your book entitled “Bias Beware“ and we look forward to publication of your forthcoming book about Memory.
We would have no hesitation in recommending you as a speaker to any organisation seeking an informative and absorbing talk about an intriguing subject.”
