Gala Dinner After Dinner Speaker

Having previously trained as a doctor, Aaron swapped the stethoscope for stage and now draws from his experience in medicine, behavioural psychology and hypnosis to coach delegates on the power of the mind, use of suggestion in sales, mindfulness techniques and the business of body language to make the best impression. His talk delivers practical advice, through live demonstrations which can be applied to your business to help it grow and expand by improving your interaction with clients.

Aaron Calvert qualified from the University of Nottingham in 2015 (BMBS BMeSci) where he studied Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Psychiatry and Clinical Hypnotherapy. He has used his education, combined with his medical experience, to produce a unique hypnotherapy technique that fuses traditional hypnosis methods with more modern clinical approaches.

Aaron specialises in performance-driven talks to inspire, entertain, and teach his audience, and to help improve interactions with clients. He explores how your body language can affect sale numbers, how you can use hypnotic tools in sales and how you can improve your overall mental wellbeing using hypnosis.
From Samsung to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, New Jersey State Police, the BBC and Channel 4, Aaron’s unique and mesmerising style has made him one of the most popular performers in the corporate market.
