Travel Arrangements
Â
Julian travels from Brisbane, Qld. He flies economy in OZ & NZ. Further than that, he flies business class.

AV Requirements
Â
â Julian uses a lapel or headset microphone and brings his own âclickerâ
â Itâs vital you tell the AV people that he runs an Apple Mac laptop from the lectern out front â he DOES NOT put his presentation on the âmainâ computer up the back â because he often changes things around on the fly to emphasise points the crowd finds valuable, funny or both.
â He needs a regular 3.5mm sound lead, and an HDMI cable. (He carries a range of adapters/dongles, just in case.)

Speaker Intro
Â
Our next speaker has one of the most unexpected rĂ©sumĂ©s youâve ever heard.
Heâs been an army sniper... a documentary cameraman for National Geographic... a magician... a YouTuber with 30 million views... and yes, even a stutterer who was once too shy to speak.
But through it all, Julian Mather kept choosing change instead of staying stuck.
Today, heâs a professional keynote speaker who helps audiences rethink what theyâre capable ofâand embrace change instead of resisting it.
Please welcome to the stage... Julian Mather!Â

Julian Mather: From Stutterer to Speaker. From Shadows to Spotlight.Â
Julian Matherâs story is proof that the person you are today doesnât have to be the person you become.
He was a stutterer and a people-pleaser who learned that staying quiet made others more comfortable. So he did. For decades.
But behind the silence was a fierce curiosity and a love for learningâjust not the kind you find in classrooms. Julian ditched school and educated himself at the library, dreaming of being a photojournalist. That led him to the army, where he became a sniper (less yelling, still no talking). Then to life behind a camera for 25 years, filming documentaries for ABC, BBC, National Geographic, and Discovery Channel.
He met the world's greatest minds, and it sparked a quiet envy. Why could they speak with such confidence? Why not him?
So he changed. Radically. Repeatedly.
He became a magician and performed 2000 shows. That cured his stutter. He launched a YouTube channelâ30 million views, 140,000 subscribers. He built and sold an online education business. He failed. Then failed again. Then got back up. Each time.
Today, Julian is a sought-after keynote speaker who shows audiences how to take change in stride and do things they never imagined they could.
Heâs climbed mountains. Won a Golden Guitar (despite being musically tone-deaf). Raised a family. And most importantly, stopped comparing himself to others.
Julianâs keynote isnât just a talk. Itâs a torchâlighting the way from who you are to who you could become.
