Conn Bertish an iconic internationally awarded creative director, artist, big wave surfer, Fear Factor winner, husband and father of two young children, was handed the toughest brief he had ever seen.
Conn was diagnosed with a severe and extremely rare form of brain cancer.
So rare in fact, that the data available for the behaviour (and the reaction to certain treatments) of the cancer was depressingly hard to find.
Whilst the traditional cancer treatments (like surgery, chemotherapy and radiation) were prescribed, Conn Bertish – Motivational Speaker felt that there was something missing.
It was as if the most important part of the solution was left out of the brief.
Where was he in the solution?
Surely he could do more than just ‘be strong’?
He solved challenges for a living, so surely he could play a role here?
He could try to understand the problem and then creatively become a part of the solution.
After all, the challenge was happening in his body.
Conn’s Cancer Brief:
Conn Bertish knew how to work with tough briefs. He immediately set in motion the biggest creative project of his life.
He began the process of using his imagination to immerse himself into his bout with cancer.
He went straight to the first things he always relied on – his pen, his paper and his playful, problem solving attitude.
He began toying with cancer, studying the helpless people around him creating visual representations of what he was going through; documenting his experience with conceptual thinking and storytelling.
He used his imagination to create a drawn-series of pen-on-paper metaphors that helped him to visualize his tumour and the treatments with intent.
He then took this thinking into everyday life and the world around him.
It became a game; a daily routine.
Conn Bertish had found a playful, debunking way to interact with his cancer. See his cancer. Imagine beating his cancer.
All of a sudden, he had a role in his own survival.
Conn Bertish was able to imagine the effects that different treatments would have on the tumour cells.
Creative thinking helped Conn Bertish – Motivational Speaker to link his mind to his body in a way that augmented all of his treatments, his resilience and his immune system, ultimately increasing his chances of survival.
As somebody whose life was built around creativity and the power of conceptual thought, Conn was used to working with metaphors.
He knew the value in bringing in seemingly insurmountable problems into context.
It was in his nature to deal with the usually invisible.
After beating cancer in 2013, Conn has been urged by doctors, oncologists, neurologists and professors of science to share this way of thinking; to use his experience as a gateway for others to enter the world of his playful visual approach (dubbed Dojo Thinking).
The result is the Cancer Dojo. A digital platform and mobile application that will enable people to engage with their cancer in a new and powerful way. It is, in many medical opinions, way ahead of its time.
Its goal is to help people to unlock the powerful effects of Dojo Thinking; to alter the way in which they deal with their disease.
The app is a space where people can grow, learn and share skills and tools to boost their immune systems and actively participate in their unique bouts with cancer.
It’s a space where people can keep each other company and send each other help.
It’s a dojo, where creative people from all over the world will work alongside doctors and oncologists to find new ways to change the way we interact with the disease.
Cancer Donjo launched a Thundafund; crowd-funding campaign on the 20th of April 2015 and they need supporters, contributors and partners to help to bring this empowering platform to life.
Conn has also authored a book on ‘Cancer & Creativity’ which details his adventures, creative techniques and discoveries through cancer

Michael Abrahamson – Corporate Mentalist is one of SA’s top mentalists and has modified his corporate show to feature unique routines which are mind-boggling. His show is fully interactive and promotes lots of discussion – the perfect ice-breaker to your event.
Michael originally made his name in the industry as a multi award-winning sports broadcaster on TV and radio.
He has covered high profile sporting events across the globe, including the Athens Olympic Games, World Cups in cricket, rugby and soccer, SA tours to the Caribbean, Italy and the UK and major events in over 20 sporting codes.
He was the recipient of the top radio broadcaster SAB award for the FIFA 2010 World Cup and his voice has been heard internationally.
He also does voice overs and acts as MC for numerous cricket, swimming and gymnastics events.
Originally a magician, Michael was exposed to mentalism in the early 2000s, and immediately started working on putting a unique show together.
Since SA has very few mentalists, Michael’s show is unique and a real eye-opener to clients looking for something very different to spice up their events.
Michael Abrahamson show varies from event to event and he never performs exactly the same show twice, in order to give people who might have seen him before, something new to watch and enjoy.
Mentalism is an art form which allows the mentalist to use his or her five senses to create some wonderfully unique entertainment.
Michael Abrahamson show incorporates mathematics, memory feats, psychological suggestion, mind reading, body language, eye movement etc, and he even prefaces his show with some information about how his audience can use these skills in their day to day life. As such, audience members leave the event not only with a mind-blowing show to talk about, but with some skills that they can use to better their own performances in their day to day lives.
His three mentalism stage shows, Powerbrain – The Mentalist, Powerbrain – The Mentalist Sequel and most recently, Visage – Revealing the Secrets of the Mind, have played to big audiences and exposed mentalism to a wide spectrum of the SA public.
Michael also offers training programmes for corporate clients, and runs Memory and Mind Building courses around the country for school learners, varsity and college students, and corporate clients.
Michael Abrahamson also offers quiz shows, both general knowledge and music, which also go down very well. All the quizzes have a twist at the end, which keeps everyone interested right up until the final round. He is also an MC and a sought-after guest speaker, and his client list involves most of the big corporate companies in SA.
