The work, and the people who've trusted it
Over 1,000 events, in more than 40 countries, across just about every industry. Here's some of it.
Across just about every industry
Over more than 20 years, Gilan's work has crossed just about every industry — financial services and banking, technology, healthcare and pharmaceuticals, automotive, FMCG and retail, mining and manufacturing, and the professional-services firms that advise them. It has run inside government, the military and multilateral institutions, and within the member organisations where chief executives gather to sharpen one another. Different rooms, different pressures, the same work.
What others say, in their own words
Other speakers, authors and thought leaders on what it's like to share a stage, or a programme, with Gilan. A line from each is pulled out below, for when you're scanning rather than watching.
“Gilan doesn't just astonish you, he extracts the principles of influence and teaches you to use them.”
“Gilan pushes mentalism past entertainment into real, intelligent value, world-class in everything he does.”
“Gilan sees influence from angles I'd never considered, invaluable for any person or organisation.”
“If you want to learn influence from a master, it's Gilan, he'll genuinely blow you away.”
“Gilan entertains and teaches at the same time, the mark of the very best.”
“Gilan is a premiere-league speaker and the top in his field, which is why we recommend him to our clients.”
In their words
One of the conference highlights was mentalist Gilan Gork, who interactively demonstrated a remarkable ability and showed how one can increase levels of trust, credibility, and influence.
Gilan is one of the world's top experts in reading and influencing people. I have followed his work.
Gilan provided a structured approach to deepening our growth mindset, fully aligning with our vision and strategy. The impact has been profound, not only in shaping our team culture but also in elevating the personal growth of each Exco member. Many have remarked that our team has never been more cohesive and aligned, with all extremely grateful that they could participate in this development program. We recommend this course to any team looking at enhancing their performance culture.
Our SME segment leadership team was profoundly impacted by the insights surfaced about us, our business, and how we will navigate into the future. It's changed how we do things, for the better.
As an already high-performing team, the focus areas we identified with you and the assessment really resonated with us and helped us to further improve our team performance.
Your session with the Discovery Health Exco last month was exceptional. Thank you. We have really benefitted through the assessment feedback.
Appreciate your time with Exco on what turned out to be an excellent engagement, indeed. I have received nothing but positive feedback.
Your debrief highlighted how the culture of a high-performance team doesn't necessarily look how you expect it to look. Knowing my team's current culture benefits the team.
The masterclass was such an eye opener. I now have a different approach in addressing issues that were problematic in the past.
Your sessions were not just entertaining, but were enlightening too. I have already started to read people better and I am sure this will not only help my professional life, but my personal life too.
I loved your talk and your gala dinner presentation, especially the part on the importance of where you sit in a meeting depending upon what you need to get out of it. I had never really thought about it before but once you pointed it out it made complete sense!
Gilan is undoubtedly a master craftsman giving a masterclass. I am inspired with the enthusiasm of a student, for an excellent teacher, and look forward to the further opportunities to learn and hone my skills.
I must mention that you were the highlight of the conference. You were both dynamic, educational and inspirational. The points you raised will be of great benefit in the Risk fraternity. Thank you.
I had my board meeting yesterday and everyone raved about you. I will certainly recommend you wherever I can.
