Andy Nunn, keynote speaker and mentalist

Meet your speaker

Hi, I’m Andy.

I make thinking visible.

10 yearsLeadership coaching
25 yearsExploring the mind through mentalism

Ever been sure you had the whole picture, then realised you missed something obvious?

I use live mentalism to make that moment visible. It gets people asking a useful question: what are we assuming?

For Sydney conferences, I shape the keynote around your audience and the decisions they face. They get involved, see their thinking at work, and leave with something they can use.

Leadership & decision-making

The Human Advantage

How unchecked assumptions hold teams back.

What is the story you’re telling yourself costing your team?

When pressure rises, assumptions can narrow your options. Good ideas get dismissed. Decisions get delayed. Teams repeat what feels familiar, even when it no longer works.

Through live mentalism and practical leadership tools, I help your people catch those assumptions, challenge the story and choose their next move.

  • Stop ruling out possibilities. Question ‘we can’t’ before it closes down a useful idea.
  • Catch costly misjudgements. Separate what’s happening from what you’re assuming.
  • Break the cycle of hesitation. Give your team a clear next step without waiting for every answer.

One framework to use when the next challenge hits:
Catch. Challenge. Change.

Wonderfully Uncomfortable

Doing hard things.

We all want to do hard things. So what stops us?

Motivation and discipline will only get us so far. This keynote helps your people reframe challenges, understand their fears and take action before they feel ready. Through experience, we discover what we’re actually capable of.

  • Reframe challenges. Explore a different way to see what’s in front of you.
  • Understand fear. Recognise what holds you back from taking the next step.
  • Do hard things. Take action before you feel ready and discover what you’re capable of.

Seeing Isn’t Believing

Biases and assumptions.

Andy’s TEDx talk

What if you’re not seeing the whole picture?

Our brains fill in the gaps, make quick assumptions and turn a little information into a confident story. Through psychology, mentalism and storytelling, this keynote reveals how easily perception can be shaped, and why seeing differently can change what happens next.

  • Recognise perception and bias. Notice where your mind fills in the gaps.
  • Question influence and misinformation. Challenge the confident story before accepting it.
  • See another perspective. Explore what you might be missing.

Start with the real challenge

02

Practise a better question

Leaders pause, ask what else could be true, and look for a useful next step when the plan changes.

03

Sydney keynote speaker FAQs

Practical answers to the questions event planners and leadership teams ask when comparing keynote speakers in Sydney.

What makes Andy Nunn different from other keynote speakers in Sydney?

Andy combines behavioural psychology, practical leadership ideas, live mentalism and audience participation in one keynote experience. Rather than adding a trick to a conventional speech, he lets the room experience how assumptions, perception and beliefs influence real decisions.

What is a mentalist, and how does mentalism work in a keynote?

A mentalist is an entertainer who creates demonstrations that appear to involve mind reading using psychology, observation, suggestion and performance techniques. Andy does not claim to be psychic; he uses live mentalism to make ideas about attention, bias, belief and decision-making visible and memorable.

How do I choose the right keynote speaker for a Sydney corporate event?

Start with the outcome you want, not simply a well-known name. Compare each speaker’s subject-matter fit, evidence of live delivery, relevance to your audience, ability to work with the event theme and whether the session gives people something useful to discuss or apply afterwards.

What keynote topics does Andy Nunn speak about?

Andy’s keynote topics include leadership judgement, decision-making under pressure, resilience through change, human performance, critical thinking, bias, influence, AI and misinformation. The three keynote directions are The Human Advantage, Wonderfully Uncomfortable and Seeing Isn’t Believing.

Is Andy’s keynote mainly entertainment, or does it deliver practical business value?

It is designed to do both. The mentalism, stories and participation hold attention, while the behavioural psychology and practical frameworks connect the experience to leadership, change, judgement and performance at work.

Is audience participation suitable for a professional corporate event?

Yes. Participation is handled respectfully and is designed to involve the room without embarrassing guests or putting individuals under pressure. Andy agrees the audience profile, boundaries and event tone with the organiser beforehand.

Can Andy tailor the keynote to our event theme, industry and audience?

Yes. Andy discusses the audience, program, event theme and desired outcomes with the organiser, then shapes the framing, examples and participation around the brief. The core keynote remains clear while the experience feels connected to the reason everyone is in the room.

How long is Andy Nunn’s keynote, and where can it sit in the program?

The duration is agreed around the event format and can be shaped for common conference keynote slots. The session can work as an opener, closer, post-lunch reset, leadership session or after-dinner experience depending on the audience and outcome.

How much does it cost to hire a keynote speaker in Sydney?

Sydney keynote fees vary according to the speaker’s experience, session format, preparation, customisation and event requirements. Andy provides a clear quote after reviewing the date, audience, location, timing and keynote direction, with no vague package pricing.

Is Andy Nunn based in Sydney, and does he travel?

Yes. Andy is based in Sydney and speaks at conferences, leadership events, sales kick-offs and corporate programs across Sydney and throughout Australia.

How far ahead should I book a keynote speaker in Sydney?

Enquire as soon as the date and approximate program are known, particularly for peak conference periods. Early planning provides more choice around availability, session timing, content preparation and production requirements.

What happens after we enquire about Andy Nunn?

Andy’s team reviews the date, audience, location and event objective, confirms availability and responds with suitable keynote options and clear pricing. If the fit looks right, the next conversation aligns the content, timing, participation and production details.

What should we consider when planning a keynote in Sydney?

From national conferences and leadership forums to sales kick-offs and company events, Sydney programs need a speaker who can hold attention and add practical value. Andy is Sydney-based and works directly with organisers and production teams to confirm content, timing and technical requirements before the event.

Which events has Andy worked at in Sydney?

Nine · ICC Sydney: The Human Advantage keynote for Nine’s sales conference, exploring mindset around change, uncertainty and AI adoption. Commonwealth Bank · South Building, Darling Harbour: The Human Advantage keynote for the Home Lending Coach Conference 2026. Feedback score: 9.4/10.

What event formats can Andy support in Sydney?
