Julian Mather

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.

Julian Mather's Talks About

The Change Ability Keynote – How to Rewire for Change

Is your business facing change, but your people don’t want to change? It doesn’t have to be that way. Julian inspires teams and leaders to break through the resistance to change and gives them the tools and the reassurance they need to stay relevant, stay valuable, and stay in the game.

This motivational talk rebrands change from threat to opportunity, so the audience begin to want to change—not because they’re forced to, but because they finally see why it’s worth it.

Key Takeaways

• In a world that won’t stop changing…If you fight change, you lose. If you embrace change, you win
• But you don’t need: The courage of a lion, The wisdom of Buddha or The confidence of a Formula 1 driver
• All you need is:  A bit of spine, A willing mind and a daily dose of mild discomfort

That’s how you stay relevant, stay in control, and stay in the game.

Workshop

Your audience has just experienced a keynote designed to ignite change, challenge assumptions, and inspire action. They’re energized, 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 his complimentary 60-minute workshop comes in.

After the keynote, this hands-on session turns inspiration into practical action. It’s the bridge between being motivated and being truly ready for change.

In this highly interactive workshop, participants will:

•  Make a change plan: Where do I want to be? How do I get there? First steps.
•  Learn self-coaching techniques to navigate personal and professional challenges.
•  Walk away with actionable strategies to embrace change with confidence.

This isn’t just a “nice add-on.” It’s a game-changer for organisations that want their teams to leave empowered and equipped to create lasting impact.

The workshop is 60 minutes of focused, results-driven training. Held the same day and location as the keynote. This workshop is a way of ensuring your event delivers long-lasting value.
