Alex Moffat
Blending Neuroscience and Illusion to Help Leaders Thrive in Uncertainty
Leader, NeuroLeadership Practitioner, Magician. Alex Moffat is a NeuroLeadership Institute Facilitator, Certified Brain-Based Coach, experienced corporate leader, and multi-award-winning magician.
With more than two decades in Fortune 500 organisations across the UK and Australia, he has led high-performing teams through complex transformations, growth, and industry change.
Alongside this corporate journey, Alex has spent over 30 years as a performing magician, winning multiple awards including recognition at the British national close-up championships.
His fascination with the mind began early. Legend has it that his Australian visa was confirmed soon after he sent a global bank a “hire me” video that used a magic illusion to persuade them why he should be chosen. That experience sparked a lifelong conviction in the power of magic to shift perception and unlock possibility.
After completing multiple in-depth programs with the NeuroLeadership Institute, Alex now blends neuroscience, leadership insights, and illusions to create highly interactive keynotes and workshops.
His sessions demonstrate how the brain predicts, adapts, and rewires itself through surprise and experience, giving leaders and teams practical tools to reframe challenges, embrace change, and thrive in uncertainty.
Whether speaking, facilitating, or performing, Alex delivers sessions that are engaging, memorable, and transformative, leaving audiences inspired and equipped for lasting impact.
