As a mentalist, I create psychological illusions by playing games with people's perception.
Now I help high achievers and their teams see the games their own minds play, and install new mental models so they can perform at their peak while feeling deeply happy and fulfilled.

“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.”
“Many have remarked that our team has never been more cohesive and aligned.”
“I used to get swept up in a river of emotion. Now I can stand on the riverbank and choose my responses.”
Mentalism is the craft of leading people's perception and creating psychological illusions. On stage it's entertaining and can appear like mind reading. It's really a deep understanding of the games our minds play.
I use mind-bending feats like these to let people feel an idea happen to them, or inside them, which is why it stays with them long after the session.

The games our minds play
Pushing for even more sounds exhausting, because you often feel you're running on empty. The answer isn't “just work harder”. I've made that mistake more times than I'd like to admit.
Every game has its own definition of winning and its own rules. And most of the ones you're playing, you never chose. Your mind picked them up along the way. Rules like:
On the inside
Nothing feels like enough. You hit a target, and by Monday it's the new starting line. You're tired of paying for success with parts of yourself, and some mornings you wake up wondering, “is this it?”
On the outside
Under pressure you tighten up, and playing it safe becomes the norm. Your creativity and flow becomes blocked. And in a team this multiplies, with the hard things getting said or done too late.
In moments of clarity you've seen how doubling down on winning this game is like drinking salt water to quench your thirst. The more you drink, the thirstier you get.
If you're like me, and others I've helped through this, you already know it's not sustainable and that something needs to change.
I've played these games myself. Now I help high achievers and their teams see the games they never knew they were playing, and install new mental models that change both how you perform and how it feels.
This isn't more theory to carry around. It's a shift you feel in your everyday.
“Stress is here to stay. I'm not scared of stress, but I'm loving that calm feeling, that deep focused thinking. Thank you, Gilan.”
“There's a lot of stories I've been telling myself which are not true about who I am. I feel a sense of liberation and freedom, because I freed up so much energy and focus.”
“It has just made me on a day-to-day basis deal with decisions better. My interactions with people are calmer, and I'm more in control of myself, which really means I'm also more in control of the situations.”
