Michael Gutenplan is a captivating professional speaker, delivering the keynote “Building Instant Trust.”

Trust is the foundation of every relationship that matters: with a client, a team, a classroom, a prospect on a first call, or a stranger in a bar. Michael Gutenplan’s keynote, Building Instant Trust, takes the same skills and amazing abilities that make him America’s Master Mentalist: reading people, earning credibility in seconds, and creating genuine connection under pressure, and turns them into a practical, memorable framework your audience can use starting the moment they leave the room. 

Engaging, captivating, and entertaining, this keynote will be the highlight of your conference, meeting, off-site, retreat, or professional development session.

Keynote:
Building Instant Trust

This is not a Generic Talk — It’s a keynote built for your room, your group, your goals.

Every audience is different, and a keynote that feels like it could’ve been given anywhere doesn’t stick. Before he ever takes the stage, Michael digs into who’s in the room, what’s the language they use, what is important to them, and what they’re actually up against — so the language, the examples, and the takeaways are built for your group specifically, not recycled from the last event.

A keynote for a sales team should be different, in tone, language, and examples, than one for a room of teachers, and Michael makes sure of it: the same core message, same actionable takeaways but entirely tailored delivery, always on topic and always relevant to the people listening.

Combined with the same mind reading and mentalism that’s earned Michael “Best Entertainment” honors from Boardroom Magazine, the result isn’t just a keynote that holds everyone’s attention, it’s a session that demonstrates trust-building in real time, live, in front of the audience and gives your attendees a unique presentation by one of America’s top mentalists.
