If you embrace change, you win.

And the good news? 
You don’t need the courage of a lion.

You just need one thing— A decision. 
Because the change you’re chasing... is just one decision away

Take the Momentum Further...

Your audience has just experienced a keynote designed to ignite change, challenge assumptions, and inspire action. They’re energised, motivated, and ready to rewrite their stories—but what happens next?

Without the tools to cement what they’ve learned, that energy risks fading once the event is over. That’s where Julian’s complimentary 60-minute workshop comes in.

Get Video Smart

The video age for business has arrived but there is a reluctance to use it. Why? Simply we feel self conscious in front of the camera. Problem is, that is out of date thinking and it is holding back business. This assumption busting talk makes clear that video for 21C business is different. Your audience realise that in a world hungry for truth, it is them with their lumps and bumps and wrinkles that will drive the authentic, agile marketing machine and they will do it with that pocket sized TV station called their smartphone. This motivational presentation is the perfect way to kickstart video in your organisation. Read less

Julian Mather

From Stutterer to Speaker. From Shadows to Spotlight. 

Julian Mather’s story is proof that the person you are today doesn’t have to be the person you become.

He was a stutterer and a people-pleaser who learned that staying quiet made others more comfortable. So he did. For decades.

But behind the silence was a fierce curiosity and a love for learning—just not the kind you find in classrooms. Julian ditched school and educated himself at the library, dreaming of being a photojournalist. That led him to the army, where he became a sniper (less yelling, still no talking). Then to life behind a camera for 25 years, filming documentaries for ABC, BBC, National Geographic, and Discovery Channel.

He met the world's greatest minds, and it sparked a quiet envy. Why could they speak with such confidence? Why not him?

So he changed. Radically. Repeatedly.

He became a magician and performed 2000 shows. That cured his stutter. He launched a YouTube channel—30 million views, 140,000 subscribers. He built and sold an online education business. He failed. Then failed again. Then got back up. Each time.

Today, Julian is a sought-after keynote speaker who shows audiences how to take change in stride and do things they never imagined they could.

He’s climbed mountains. Won a Golden Guitar (despite being musically tone-deaf). Raised a family. And most importantly, stopped comparing himself to others.

Julian’s keynote isn’t just a talk. It’s a torch—lighting the way from who you are to who you could become.
