About Tim
Speaker. Author. Entertainer.
As an entertainer and keynote speaker, Tim Gabrielson is his brand. No, seriously, the foundation of his talks is TIM: Temporarily Interrupting Mindsets. Equal parts easy to remember (it is his name, after all) and easy to incorporate into everyday routines, Tim Gabrielson teaches a simple system for self-transformation and positive perspective that starts with one thing — fun!
Entertainer by heart, keynote speaker by trade
Fun is something that’s ingrained in Tim’s very nature. From the ripe age of 13, Tim’s life path was all but cemented by the man, the myth, the legend… Steve Martin. Well, that might be a bit of an overstatement, but Tim’s journey into magic did start when he and his family took a trip to Disneyland at age 13 to see the old Merlin’s Magic Shop where comedian Martin previously worked.
One common trick — a disappearing sponge ball of all things! — catapulted young Tim into a world of magic that led to hometown gigs at Mission Creek Theme Park in Hinckley, Minnesota (don’t worry, no one else knows where that is, either) and caught the attention of agents and producers alike. Before long, Tim had his own room at The House of Blues in Mandalay Bay on the Vegas Strip.
Changing lives, one keynote at a time
Over the 18 years and thousands of shows that followed, Tim came to realize that the impact he left on his audiences lasted far longer than the 30 or 60 minutes of his sets. In fact, it was quite the opposite. Tim used magic and comedy as a vehicle to drive audience members beyond their present hardships and take them on a journey of perspective that lasted for years to come.
These years shaped the keynote speaker Tim is today: A veteran entertainer who combines the wonder of magic with well-timed comedic relief to completely remove audience members from their current life troubles. He engages using TIM, a tried and true method for self-transformation that gears individuals and teams for personal growth.
With researched methodology bookmarked by big laughs, Tim Gabrielson definitively proves you can break out of toxic mindsets — and presents each audience with the tools to do it! Over the course of his presentation, Tim gives his audience the gift of perspective to choose better attitudes.
All of Tim’s presentations are completely customizable to address any specific concerns head-on.

Tim’s Lemons to Laughter philosophy was a fantastic opener to the conference. I received tons of compliments and great feedback throughout the 2.5 day conference. It was really, really funny!

It is challenging as an “event planner” to find entertainment that will make every person attending the event happy, but I have to say that we hit it out of the ballpark with you! You were able to keep the entire group engaged and laughing, which was what we really needed.

Tim is such a talented performer, and has an ability to connect with his audience like no other speaker we’ve ever had. His combination of comedy, magic and positive message had our group laughing and listening from the second he hit the stage. He is truly the best speaker we’ve ever had!

TIM
Temporarily Interrupting Mindsets
(A Strategic Reset)
It’s kind of like fixing a bad engine or faulty landing gear on a plane. The crucial first step is to make sure it’s on the ground first. Grounding yourself is just like grounding a plane. A momentary pause that gives you an opportunity to make adjustments so you can get back to flying.
Key Takeaways:
- Easy to Remember, Fun to do
- Enhanced Mindfulness
- Empowerment via actionable tools
- Promotes community within an organization
- Reignites passion and engagement

to Laughs
Get ALL the good the day has to give
“You will never look at lemons the same way again.”
If you really want to influence people, you need to get them engaged.
Tim’s keynote is a perfect blend of jaw-dropping magic, face-hurting laughter, and mind-blowing insight! This presentation is specifically designed to grab attendees by the face and not let them go till the end.
The L2Ls System:
- Reframe events/maximize positive opportunities (Is it really a lemon?)
- Deflect other people’s toxicity (Is it my lemon?)
- Minimize the effects of an adverse event (Ok, it’s a lemon, and it’s mine… but can I put it down now?!)
Tim’s keynote is great on its own, but it also integrates well as the ultimate
- Kick-Off Tone-Setter
- Reenergizing Mid-Conference Boost
- High-Note Crescendo Ending
Not only does it have a great message, but the energy and enthusiasm created have a carryover effect, helping make messaging from the overall event extra sticky
GABE
BREAKOUT
The Gratitude-Attitude-Behavior-Environment (GABE) training is a way to harness the excitement created in the keynote and customize it for the individual groups who want to put it into practice.
By identifying things for which we are Grateful, we create leverage to change our Attitude, thus affecting our Behavior, which then creates a better Environment for ourselves and those around us.
GABE is an action-oriented hands-on approach to redefining experiences, essentially rewriting internal scripts, and creating a mindset-reset. Once it’s a habit, it often prevents negative mindsets from forming in the first place.
Entertainment
The Magic of Comedy
Tim Gabrielson is not your average entertainer — a magician since the tender age of 12, Tim has developed a quick wit that’s only rivaled by his impeccable sense of (clean) humor.
Tag along as Tim takes the audience through a comedic journey that’s peppered with life lessons spanning the past 28 years. A fresh take on entertainment with a purpose, Tim leverages the humor of a stand-up comedian with a hand as sleight as Houdini himself; but it’s the power of positivity he infuses in each and every performance that keeps clients coming back for more.
Discover how Tim Gabrielson’s entertaining program can elevate your next event with the Magic of Comedy.
Emcee
Tim’s confident, spontaneous nature makes him an ideal master of ceremonies. Corporate events require an emcee who is polished, professional, and able to adapt to on-site changes. Did the dinner start late? Did the speaker finish early? Did the schedule change at the last minute? No problem. With Tim as your emcee, rest assured your event will be a smooth success from start to finish!
