We are often tempted to make big changes or 180-degree shifts when things aren’t going just right. Yet, the extraordinary is closer than we think—one degree away. Even small micro-shifts in our actions and attitudes can bring wonder and purpose to all we do.
Hi, I’m John Guastaferro. As a speaker, author, brand expert, corporate trainer, certified life coach, and yes—a professional magician—I work with top brands and business leaders to guide transformative breakthroughs in personal and organizational leadership. It starts by connecting the power of your Team, Brand, and Cause. I bring these concepts to life through keynotes, team trainings, corporate retreats, coaching, and consulting.
Meet John
Ever since I can remember, I have been drawn to creative ways to add more wonder to the world. I’ve traveled the globe performing magic and have spent more than 20 years inspiring teams, building brands, and advancing social causes. Through it all, I am driven by one purpose: To connect people to the extraordinary!
