The mission

Edmund Zheng is on a mission to unlock America's smartest minds.

The hypothesis: IQ × EQ = Impact

One's ability to impact the world is derived from a simple formula: IQ × EQ = Impact. Intelligence quotient times emotional intelligence.

While your IQ is largely unchangeable and derived from birth, it's your EQ that can be worked on and increased throughout your life.

Hypnosis is the #1 tool to increase EQ, rewiring the subconscious mind on a deep level.

What hypnosis unlocks in an organization

Imagine your organization:

This is what hypnosis unlocks.

Raising the bar for success while simultaneously being on the exact same page.
Communicating with total conviction in every pitch and meeting.
Distinguishing signal from noise in workflows.
Solving problems in hours instead of weeks by nurturing a culture of asking for help.

Run of show

60 minute run time. Adaptable to 45 and 30 minutes.

1. Warm up: An opening exercise and a light group hypnosis to prime the room for peak learning.
2. How hypnosis works: Edmund explains the neuroscience behind hypnosis and how he has used it in his own life.
3. Installation: Edmund installs the four pillars behind a #1 mindset, each with a short live hypnosis.
4. Closing: A full-group deep hypnosis that locks in the teachings of all 4 pillars.

The Four Pillars of a #1 Mindset

Each pillar is defined, then installed in the room with a short live hypnosis or exercise.

1. Line of Sight: Unlock 100% of your focus at any given time.

The Line of Sight is your organization's collective ability to capture a specific future milestone visually, auditorily, and kinesthetically, and then work backwards from that moment step-by-step.

Your ability to use 100% of your focus on any given task is directly correlated with how clearly you can visualize the future.

Edmund installs this Line of Sight with a short live hypnosis. The room closes their eyes, captures the same future milestone, and traces their steps back to today.

2. Embodied Communication: Speak with an unmatched level of presence and conviction.

Embodied Communication is your ability to completely embody what you say with true, undeniable confidence.

The more you develop the subconscious muscle of noticing when you're embodied, the more that state becomes your default.

Edmund installs Embodied Communication with a partner exercise and a short live hypnosis. The room pairs up, each participant practices their embodiment by talking about a topic they're passionate about, and Edmund locks in this state so participants can access it at any time.

3. Metacognition: Decipher what is signal vs. what is noise in your own thinking.

Metacognition is your ability to be so aware of your own thoughts at any time that you can decipher signal vs. noise.

As you hone your ability to trace your thoughts to their origins, you can tell whether they are useful, and you can predict which direction your brain is heading at any given time. The higher your metacognition, the greater your ability to change your brain in a positive direction.

Edmund installs Metacognition with a mental sorting exercise in which participants write down their thoughts and categorize them into signal vs. noise.

4. Asking for Help: Master the #1 skill that separates the best teams from the rest.

Asking for Help is what happens when the ego steps aside.

How fast your team moves is directly correlated with how quickly its members ask each other for help. It is the biggest communication hack in any organization.

Edmund installs Asking for Help with a live hypnosis group exercise. Participants go back in time to when a colleague asked them for help, and after the vision is locked, everybody writes down one specific thing that they're stuck on at work. Volunteers read theirs aloud, and anyone who can help raises their hand.

About Edmund

The son of Chinese immigrants to the United States, Edmund has been shifting life timelines for as long as he can remember, starting with the self-hypnosis he used at a young age to get accepted into Harvard and Yale. He has spoken at Yale's graduation, backpacked 56 countries and learned five languages. In a hypnosis career that began in January 2026, he has performed hypnosis in four languages, been invited onto the biggest late-night show in Brazil and been sought after by producers of major YouTube productions. At 24 years old, Edmund is positioned to be the face of the hypnosis revolution in the years to come.

As a product of the American Dream, Edmund feels a deep responsibility to give back to the country that gave him and his family everything. He cares about nothing more than unlocking America's smartest minds, and he developed the #1 Mindset Keynote to put hypnosis at the center of the conversation about human potential.
