Topics for Jordana Borensztajn

Engaging MC with humour and creativity

Drawing on her stand-up comedy roots, media background, and public speaking expertise, Jordana brings humour, originality, and quick wit to every stage she hosts. She doesn’t just introduce speakers; she elevates the room.
With customised comedy, sharp observations, and spontaneous banter, Jordana weaves your event together in a way that feels polished, playful, and genuinely engaging. Every moment is intentional, every transition purposeful, and every audience fully along for the ride.
A master at reading the room, Jordana creates an environment where speakers feel supported and delegates feel seen.

Her curious and creative interviewing style invites authentic conversations and effortless engagement, creating a conference atmosphere that’s professional, warm, and totally unforgettable; an experience people talk about long after the final applause.
The magic of connection: How to build trust and deepen relationships in a highly distracted world
Connection isn’t just communication. It’s the foundation of trust, collaboration and confidence. And in a highly distracted world, genuine connection has never been harder to achieve.
In this high-energy, uplifting and interactive keynote, Jordana doesn’t just talk about connection; she creates it. Through humour, storytelling, behavioural insight – and live magic and mentalism – she shares her hilarious and heartfelt path into magic, revealing how curiosity, presence, and play transform how we connect, collaborate, and truly work together.
Audiences discover how to capture attention in a distracted room, build genuine rapport in seconds, and bring more joy, meaning, and presence to everyday interactions in the workplace and beyond. They leave energised, inspired, and more connected to each other, ready to create stronger relationships in every moment.
In a distracted world, your presence is your superpower. Every interaction is an opportunity to create a deeper connection.
Lead with confidence: Powerful expression in moments that matter most
Leadership isn’t about having the loudest voice in the room. It’s about being trusted when you speak.
In this high-impact, interactive and confidence-boosting keynote, Jordana helps leaders strengthen how they communicate in presentations, meetings, high-pressure conversations, and moments when their voice matters most.
Drawing on 16+ years’ experience performing across three continents, this high-energy keynote combines stand-up comedy techniques, interactive exercises, and proven communication frameworks to help audiences move past self-doubt and communicate with clarity, confidence, and impact. Participants walk away with tools to quiet imposter syndrome, deliver messages that land with true impact, and communicate with the clarity and confidence that defines great leaders. It’s practical, energising, and incredibly fun.
When you speak with confidence, teams listen, trust grows, influence builds, and you feel empowered to lead.
Own the room (without saying a word): Master non-verbal signals that build trust, authority and influence
Before you say a word, your body has already told the room a story.
In this insightful, entertaining, and perspective-shifting keynote, Jordana reveals how non-verbal communication silently shapes trust, authority, and influence, often determining how leaders are perceived before a conversation has even begun.
From posture and movement, to facial expression, spatial awareness, and energy, Jordana decodes the unspoken signals that drive credibility and presence. In high-stakes moments, these signals shape first impressions and influence how your message is received.
With humour, sharp insight, and practical examples, audiences discover which non-verbal signals build credibility, which ones undermine us, and how to consciously use posture, movement, and presence to strengthen their leadership impact. They walk away with simple but powerful tools to align their body language with their message, strengthening confidence, clarity, and influence the moment they step into a room.
The illusion of certainty: A mentalist’s secrets to perception, attention, and human behaviour
What if the way you read people isn’t as accurate as you think?
We don’t see people as they are. We see them as our brain predicts. As a result, we misread intentions, miss signals, and make decisions made on incomplete information.
In this eye-opening, immersive and interactive keynote, Jordana takes audiences inside the mind to explore how perception, attention, and unconscious bias shape human behaviour in real time. Drawing on her work as a mentalist, she uses illusion as a powerful metaphor to reveal how the brain filters reality, fills in gaps, and confidently tells us stories that aren’t always true, especially when we’re under pressure. Through live demonstrations and thought-provoking real-world examples, audiences learn to spot the signals they’ve been missing, read what people really mean (not just what they say), and make better decisions in meetings and negotiations.
Once you understand how perception really works, it changes how you read people, navigate conversations, and make sense of what’s really happening in front of you.
‘Present with power’ workshop
Powerful communication is essential in sales, leadership, and client relationships. Whether you’re pitching ideas, leading meetings, presenting on camera, or handling questions under pressure, the way you deliver your message matters.
In this high-energy and hands-on workshop, Jordana equips the group with a practical presentation toolkit to communicate with clarity, confidence, and impact. Participants learn how to command attention, build rapport quickly, use body language to deliver and express with power, turn nerves into fuel, and handle curly questions with grace. Jordana also explores storytelling, helping participants connect authentically and confidently showcase their point of difference.
The workshop is high-energy, practical, and full of laughs, leaving participants excited to present at their best.
Corporate entertainment: Don’t believe everything you see
What if your thoughts weren’t entirely your own? And what if ‘the impossible’ wasn’t just an idea, but a playful invitation to question reality?
In this wildly entertaining fusion of mentalism, magic, and comedy, Jordana blurs the line between what’s real and what’s imagined. With rapid-fire wit, jaw-dropping moments, and audience interaction throughout, every show is highly interactive, rich with humour, packed with unexpected twists, and tailored to your audience.
Perception is turned upside down as the room begins to question assumptions, certainty, and even free will. Because what we perceive is only part of the story. And the real magic is what we never saw coming.

Australian Building Company

Jordana was a highly professional, conscientious and engaging MC. She took our event as seriously as we did! I was impressed with the level of detail she went into in the planning process, and there were more than a few moments she rescued during the conference with her improvisational skills. A great entertainer and a great person.
Venue Management Association

Jordana was an absolute standout as MC at the recent Greenlife Industry National Conference. She brought warmth, wit and high energy to the stage - keeping our audience engaged, our speakers supported, and our program running smoothly from start to finish. Her tailored preparation was next level, and her ability to handle the unexpected with humour and grace made a huge difference behind the scenes. Not only was she hilarious and full of spark, she’s also just an all-round good human. We felt lucky to have her with us and would work with her again in a heartbeat. 10 out of 10. Highly recommend.
Greenlife Industry Conference

We had the pleasure of working with Jordana as the MC for our client’s staff conference, and she was nothing short of phenomenal. Her energy and presence kept the day moving and the audience engaged, and her surprise magic acts added a fun twist to what could have been just another standard conference. What stood out was Jordana’s commitment to creating a tailored experience. She wrote custom jokes and a fully personalised script that aligned perfectly with our client’s brand and culture. Both our team and the client loved working with her, and we look forward to collaborating again.
Directions Conference and Incentive Management

We recently hired Jordana as a roving magician to celebrate our International Women’s Day event in our Sydney office. To say we were blown away is an understatement. She worked the room wonderfully, capturing our guests and surprising them with her magic. It left the smartest of people dumbfounded about how she managed to do what she just did! We can’t wait to work with Jordana again.
Microsoft

Huge thank you for presenting at our JFP conference. It truly was an absolute pleasure to work with you. Since owning Just For Pets, I have hosted 13 conferences and engaged the services of over 20 keynote speakers, and I can honestly say you are the best presenter we have ever had. Your humour, your ability to make the content relevant to the audience, and the pace at which you presented kept our delegates continuously engaged. Your ability to connect with the audience is at a level I haven't seen before, and watching everyone leave the room enthusiastic and smiling was just brilliant. As important as the content is for our stores to understand, it is how you presented it that made it so easy to learn. There was no delegate who didn't take some key points away that they would implement in their business. I can't thank you enough!
Just for Pets

Jordana listened to what we needed and fit the brief perfectly. She was engaging, dynamic and an absolute pleasure to deal with.

By far the best MC we've had at any of our events. Jordana was completely invested to make the night a success. She tailored her performance to suit the audience and connected strongly with the audience.

Jordana was sensational, she brought high energy to our event at Abbotsford Convent, and we have had the most amazing feedback from our attendees about her session. Her engagement from our first call was wonderful, she understood what we were looking for and the audience we were talking to, her pre-event preparation was excellent. We will certainly look to engage her again for other events we run.
The Ascott Limited, Australia

A blessing in disguise! An unfortunate cancellation brought you to us at the eleventh hour. It was a big ask. MC a three-day/night conference overseas in two days’ time. How lucky we were that you came to our rescue. And not only that, our delegates rated you as a highlight of the event. You prepared quickly but in detail, you listened so that you could connect speakers and people, you created energy, and you made people laugh. I loved working with you and I look forward to doing so again!

Alpine Shire Council through Engage! Funding (thanks to the Victorian State Government) were fortunate to engage Jordana to speak to our four secondary school students within Alpine Shire. Delivered over three sessions using magic, mentalism, fun and engaging activities, Jordana is energetic, inspirational, informative and has the unique ability to adjust to the audience amazingly. Both students and staff gained an insight of how to take opportunities to go beyond the comfort zones in fun and informative ways. I would highly recommend any schools to take this opportunity to engage Jordana, this is not just a presentation, it is an interactive session that provokes positive thoughts through engagement with all the audience from junior to senior students and staff alike!
Alpine Shire Council

Jordana spoke as a keynote presenter during our OrthoTech Forum this past July. She was amazing – to say the least! The time and effort she put in ahead of the conference to understand the delegates and review their social pages was fantastic as the presentation was then customised to the practices and industry we work in. Jordana provided an energy-filled hour – that was informative, enjoyable and fun. You actually had take-home material that could be implemented and used to improve your social media and help further growth in your business. Feedback from our delegates was outstanding. Her presentation was one of the highest ratings from our feedback survey that offered the most value overall. I would highly recommend you book this lady for your next meeting or event. She will promise NOT to disappoint.

Kyabram Chamber of Commerce and Industry Inc.

An afternoon with the magical Jordana away from the complexity of a major health service and its 2+ years of COVID challenges was awesome. Card games, mystery and fun were all features on the Borensztajn menu; our clinicians and operational leaders filled with the excitement of younger people as they focused on their arts and crafts in the warm sunlight. The few hours spent in the wonder of magic lifted the mood whilst the jokes and laughter flowed throughout the performance. Thank you Jordana for taking us all back to a time when the wonder of magic was the only problem to solve.
Eastern Health

The only brief we gave Jordana was to end our 2-day conference with a boom! - And Jordana did just that! She left our audience in a mountain of laughter, wonder and inspiration! Up until the event, Jordana was fantastic to work with - she was proactive, professional, ensured she understood our organisation and our values, and really showed how much she loves what she does. Jordana is full of energy and extremely funny - our staff were fully engaged and energized. Her session entailed useful life tips, arts and crafts that brought to life the child in all of us and a whole lot of magic! She showed us how anyone can learn new skills and become great at them. Thanks a ton Jordana!
OET

We were absolutely delighted with the enthusiasm and genuine joy Jordana brought to our event! The communication prior to the event was a breeze and Jordana met our brief perfectly. It was so refreshing to not be served the same old tired jokes about people, but instead to be wowed, awed and inspired with magic, thoughtful insights and great energy. We were taken on a journey that resulted in a group of people, that are usually quite reserved, running to craft-filled tables trying to build the best Octopus! The resulting laughter and joy was real, and more than one person thanked Jordana personally on the night for her contagious enthusiasm. A memorable experience for everyone. Jordana is inspiring, humorous and a professional entertainer for the modern day. Simply ‘Wonder-Full’. Thank you again for bringing your magic to our Conference.

Just book Jordana. We wanted a keynote that would bring the energy & fun to an otherwise fairly content heavy conference. Jordana brought this in spades (diamonds, hearts and clubs…) Magic and a message all wrapped up in an entertaining and absorbing package. Our delegates left our conference with a twinkle in their eye and a spring in their step. Jordana was an absolute joy to work with.
Mackay Region Chamber of Commerce

Opportunities to take people out of the hustle and bustle of everyday life provides an opportunity to reflect and recharge our personal batteries. From the moment we engaged with Jordana to set up a session with our teams to do this, we were amazed by the positive vibes, energy and desire to craft an individual session that would exceed our team’s expectation. The energy, engagement, mastery and jokes facilitated by Jordana guided our teams to such a positive and inquisitive space, that they were able to forget the businesses of their everyday lives and reconnect as a team. Thank you Jordana.

Jordana understood the brief and was extremely engaging throughout the session. She worked with us to ensure our goals were met and was flexible with the content on the day.

Jordana Borensztajn came on board as MC for our conference with only four weeks’ notice. Jordana went above and beyond in that short space of time to contact all event speakers and build a rapport with each of them, something I have not experienced with an event MC before. Jordana was a huge asset to our event and played a major role in its successful delivery.

Jordana Borensztajn comes thoroughly recommended. Her vivacious energy combined with an attention for detail made our event not only a crowd success, but an enjoyable process behind the scenes. She was super professional, very relatable and connected well with our audience. A delight to work alongside.
Growcom

Jordana Borensztajn's energy engaged the audience immediately and took them on a journey; confirming the emotional roller coaster during Covid and acknowledged what we had all collectively achieved together to survive. She then furthered that journey by demonstrating the value in looking at things differently and allowing ourselves time to in effect be present and available. And what could be achieved by this deliberate decision. Jordana continued to engage the audience via her humor and then by her magic tricks to support the message she was relaying. I'm confident attendees went away with the seed planted; to consider thinking about doing things differently in the new world. We felt grateful to have Jordana travel present to us! And everybody who attended loved her :-)
Mt Beauty and District Chamber of Commerce

Her presentation on Reigniting Your Work Mojo was sensational and we were absolutely delighted with the presentation and her infectious energy even through a virtual environment. Jordana was engaging and ensured just the right amount of participation that was needed. She was an absolute delight to work with from start to finish - professional yet fun! We have no hesitation in recommending Jordana to others and hope that we have another opportunity to work with her in the future.

Alpine Shire Council

Jordana Borensztajn exceeded our expectations - Key Note speaking online is not the easiest way to keep an audience engaged but she absolutely nailed it. We all have zoom fatigue but she turned that right around and our guests loved her and her energy was amazing. Highly recommend her and look forward to working with Jordana again.

Committee for Portland

Jordana Borensztajn was a keynote speaker at our Summit 2019. She is a highly engaging and entertaining presenter and her energy is extraordinary! She delivered an outstanding presentation that combined humour and great practical content about building a social media strategy and presence, specific to our industry. Jordana was a dream to work with. From the very outset, we were impressed with her professionalism and easy going nature.

Jordana Borensztajn was the perfect choice to MC and host the Pyrios Grand Luncheon event and fundraiser in support of Plan International Australia. Jordana expertly tied in the themes of the AFL Grand Final in Melbourne and the ICT sector, making up most of the attendee audience, delivering relatable humour that tapped into social psyche and fabulous banter. She’s authentic and draws on her own experience but importantly researched and prepared for the event to ensure she delivered our key messages, and invested significant attention to the feelings and emotion we wanted to achieve with people in the room. In this regard, she’s sensational. Our event also had a heavy theme, Ending Forced and Early Child Marriage – tough gig for a comedic personality to weave in, however she met this challenge and brought a lightness to the room ensuring everyone was connected and the event remained uplifting… No easy task! Her professionalism meant she could engage, set an atmosphere, build rapport with the crowd, have us laughing and keep us all to run sheet time! We’re thrilled to have worked with her for our event and would highly recommend booking her for any function, we have no hesitation in saying she will thoughtfully prepare and absolutely deliver an entertaining experience for all” !

Beyond Excellent – She was just so great. Our Guests feedback was brilliant, they all thought she did a brilliant job.
Pyrios

From the very first briefing call Jordana has been an absolute pleasure to deal with. In fact, like no other. She really engaged and learned about our group which was evident on the day. Her energy is a breath of fresh air, although her request for me to capture a photo proved difficult. She doesn’t stand still long enough! Getting down amongst the audience is something that particularly works well to keep the group engaged. She was wonderful and I’ll be thinking of ways to have her back in the future, even if on a smaller workshop level.

Jordana Borensztajn was a brilliant keynote speaker choice for our WYNnovation Summit. I knew this from the moment we engaged her. She was enthusiastic about the event, eager to learn everything she could about our purpose, vision and audience, and really embraced the opportunity. Jordana presented confidently and in a way that was interesting, keeping the audience’s attention throughout. Jordana was also incredibly generous with her time, staying for the duration of the event chatting to delegates throughout the breaks and answering any questions they had. Taking it upon herself to do some research before the day enabled Jordana to feature businesses that were in the room in her presentation, providing a personalised experience and REAL examples to cement her key messages. As an event organiser it’s a relief when you engage an enthusiastic, well-prepared and organised speaker and that’s exactly what Jordana is, highly recommended!
