You know within thirty seconds whether a speaker is going to make you look good. So do your attendees. Farhan Zahid draws from real moments across psychiatric wards, billion-dollar boardrooms, and everything in between. Then he does something most speakers never do. He takes the room through live hypnosis, breathwork, and meditation, giving the audience the tools to change their state on demand. Farhan delivers sessions people walk out of feeling genuinely different, and talk about long after the event ends. Farhan brings rare dual credibility to the stage, with experience that includes serving as a Board Director, 16 years advising complex organizations at Deloitte, and serving as Global Head of Risk at a leading global investment firm. He understands pressure, responsibility, and high-stakes decision-making from the inside. He pairs that background with deep clinical training in medical and psychiatric nursing, clinical hypnotherapy, and Neuro-Linguistic Programming, making his work both rigorously grounded and impossible to forget. As the creator of the ALIGN™ and FOCUS Method™, Farhan delivers frameworks that stick because people have already felt them working before he gives them a name. ALIGN™ helps people build the kind of performance that holds up over years, not just sprints. FOCUS Method™ gives people access to their clearest thinking in the moments that matter most. Both frameworks are taught, practiced, and embodied in the room. People leave knowing exactly how to use them and feeling them already working. As Founder and CEO of KNKO, a concierge wellness firm based in the San Francisco Bay Area, Farhan works with founders, executives, and high-net-worth individuals who operate in environments where there is very little room for an off day. That proximity to real performance under real pressure is what makes his sessions different. He is not theorizing. He is bringing back tools from the rooms where these problems actually live, and putting them directly in the hands of your audience, so that they can use them whenever they need. He has delivered keynotes and workshops for Deloitte, Chevron, the Institute of Internal Auditors, ISACA, the Association of Healthcare Internal Auditors, and Generate Capital, and has been featured in Business Life Magazine and the International Business Journal. Organizations bring Farhan in when stress is breaking their best people and they truly need their leaders to show up sharp, steady, and fully present. The credentials make people curious. The live session makes them feel something they haven't felt in years. That's what keeps them talking about your event long after it ends. ⸻ Client Results “Farhan’s session gave our executive team frameworks we implemented immediately. Within one quarter, we saw a 40% reduction in stress-related leadership issues.” - Chief People Officer, Fortune 500 Healthcare Organization “What truly set Farhan apart was his ability to combine strategic thinking with powerful experiential tools. Attendees experienced the impact in real time and left with techniques they could immediately use to protect energy, reset their nervous system, and improve focus. We will absolutely be booking him again.” - Senior Manager & Event Organizer, Deloitte - IIA/ISACA San Francisco Conference, December 2025 ⸻ 20+ years speaking | San Francisco Bay Area | Available globally

Keynote Speaker | #1 Bestselling Author | Creator of the Human Perspective Method™ | Physiotherapist & Kinesiologist
Denver, Colorado
Julie Renae Smith, MPT, is a speaker, #1 bestselling author, coach, physiotherapist and kinesiologist who helps people recognize the hidden patterns shaping how they interpret, react, communicate, lead, and perform. For more than 25 years, Julie has worked at the intersection of the body, behavior, change, and human performance. That work led to the development of the Human Perspective Method™—an approach for recognizing where our attention naturally lands, understanding the patterns that creates, and expanding the possibilities available when we can see more of what's actually happening. Because we don't respond only to what happens. We respond to what we notice, what we make it mean, and the story we build from there. Julie brings that work into organizations through engaging, practical experiences that reveal the invisible patterns behind workplace stress, communication, decision-making, leadership, burnout, and change. Her sessions blend science, storytelling, humor, movement, and practical application. Audiences don't simply leave knowing more—they begin noticing differently. And that's where choice becomes possible. Because you can't interrupt what you haven't noticed. When people can recognize a pattern, they can interrupt it. Julie's signature keynotes—including The Invisible Workday™ and Pain Bending™—combine neuroscience, movement, storytelling, humor, and immediately usable tools that help people reduce burnout, strengthen communication, navigate change, improve leadership, and perform at their best. Whether speaking to corporate teams, healthcare professionals, associations, or executive leaders, Julie's mission is simple: Help people see more so they can choose better.
