#1 Mindset

A live talk for rooms that already know the strategy, and still can’t get the body to run it.

Who

I’m Edmund Zheng. The American Hypnotist.

Hypnosis shows in Brazil (in Portuguese), Argentina (in Spanish) and France (in French). Hypnotized creators at Cannes Lions. I’m 24, from Oklahoma, Yale ’24. I used self-hypnosis as a kid to get into Harvard and Yale.

I’m on a mission to hypnotize America’s smartest people.

Not for party tricks. So high performers stop running one program in their head and another in their body.

The talk

#1 Mindset is a working session, not a TED-style lecture you forget in the lobby.

We cover four parts:

  1. 01

    Line of Sight

    What you’re actually aiming at. Most “focus” is noise with a nicer name.

  2. 02

    Embodied Communication

    Your body already voted. Your words match that vote, or they fight it.

  3. 03

    Metacognition

    Watch your mind while it’s running. Don’t drown in the commentary.

  4. 04

    Asking for Help

    High performers wait until this gets expensive. Make it cheap. Make it early.

Then one live hypnosis. Not four. One proof beat. The room feels the shift. Then we name what just happened.

What the room walks out with

  • A cleaner read on real focus vs. fake focus
  • Speech that matches how the body is already voting
  • A way to catch your own mind mid-spin
  • Asking for help before the cost compounds
  • One felt experience of hypnosis, not a slide about hypnosis
