Can you Believe it?

inspiring new thoughts through the experience of wonder.

Hi there! I’m Dan Trommater and I believe in the transformative power of wonder. That's why I use the art of magic in my keynotes and workshops. It helps people tap into their sense of wonder and challenge their assumptions so they can find new solutions to their pressing problems.

I absolutely love helping people open their minds and experience a change of heart, so I use my skills as a facilitator, coach and magician to create interactive experiences that create long-lasting impact for my clients.

If you’re intrigued, read on to hear what some of my clients have to say, learn more about me, and see me in action.

Reviews

“Hire Dan to speak at your next event. He is amazing. I've seen him present several times, and each and every time he knocks it out of the park. At the last event (December 2022) the audience was engaged start to finish. Dan took real, meaningful topics, and made them completely memorable and tangible with not only his magic, but his stories and examples.”

Jeremy Miller - Sticky Branding

“Thank you for leading such a great session. The feedback from the team was really positive. Today, I heard a lot of "tell me more," so you have left a lasting impression!

Lydia Lanman - Eli Lilly Canada Inc.

“You surpassed our expectations - I have received steady and consistent feedback from guests of all backgrounds and professions on the success and impact of your keynote address - it is very clear that you connected with the audience and they left the event with new ways of looking at the world.”

Dr. Joel Kirsh - College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario
