Described as the World's #1 Fear Strategist, Keith Blakemore-Noble is a coach, international speaker, best-selling author, hypnotist, trainer, podcaster, and occasional magician.

He helps people to develop Mindset Mastery, transforming their deepest fears into their greatest strengths and giving them the freedom to be, do, and have what they most want - in the past 12 years he has helped thousands around the planet to do just that.

From paralysing shyness to teaching on stages in the UK, USA, Indonesia, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Singapore, Keith has come far from a life that is just a distant memory now. He has been described as someone who brings a natural humour and wit to the stage, and a captivating presence, allowing you to learn from him with ease as he shares with you the same tools which he used to make massive transformations in his own lives and those of his clients.

A living embodiment of the cutting-edge NLP and hypnosis tools he employs, he has used them all on himself first, so he knows how well they work and also understands how the processes feel from your perspective.

Prior to moving full-time into helping people, he spent the best part of 2 decades in IT, including leading a team with members in the UK, Norway, and New Zealand. He has gone from reprogramming and upgrading computers to reprogramming and upgrading people’s minds! The latter is infinitely more rewarding, it has to be said.

An accomplished international speaker, Keith has spoken for a wide variety of organisations including the BBC, Rotary International, BNI and more, on topics around confidence and hypnosis.

His most recent book, "The Masks We Wear", explores the metaphorical masks which we all wear in life, looking at why we wear them, why they are dangerous, and how we can remove them. He is also the mastermind behind the 4-volume (so far) international best-selling “Winning In Life And Work” series of books.

A strong believer that change is always possible, he invites you to change your mind; change your life.
