About Benjamin Zander

To this day, one of the most engaging and inspiring talks I have every attended. I still have my notes (over 8 pages) of them. Watching how you created change the showed us the art of possibility with the cellist was as if I was witnessing a miracle happen right in front of me. Teaching us how to sing happy birthday, playing on one butt cheek, the list goes on and on!

A Metaphor for Leadership

Benjamin Zander’s presentation takes an audience on a journey that offers a startling new perspective on leadership. Through stories, music and concepts it causes a radical shift in perception. This is not a speech, it is an experience!

In this new model of leadership, the conductor sees his job as awakening possibility in others. The orchestra is a group of highly trained individuals poised to coalesce into an effective whole. Passion, creativity and the desire to contribute are basic human instincts to be released.

World famous conductor, Benjamin Zander uses the metaphor of the orchestra and a life-time of experience conducting, coaching and teaching musicians to work his magic to overcome barriers to corporate productivity. This presentation sources fundamental changes in organizations.
