Benjamin Zander Biography
Topics:
- Inspirational
- Leadership
- Motivation & Teamwork
- Music & Dance
- Peak Performance
Former conductor of the Boston Philharmonic Orchestra, Benjamin Zander has an extensive inspirational speaking career, traveling the world lecturing to organisations on leadership.
Trying to describe what Ben Zander does in front of a large audience (or in the audience - he is not constrained by the usual boundary of stage and podium separating him from the throng) is like trying to capture the essence of electricity-it crackles, it sparks, it's a powerful natural source of light, heat and energy, but what is it exactly? Perhaps electricity is not such a bad metaphor; Benjamin Zander turns people on-to their own talent, to their relationships, to their lives.
Speaking on 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 organisations.
‘Ben Zander – the hottest property on the management guru circuit’.

"If we could simply bottle it, and sell it as an elixir, not only could we make a few bucks, but also change the world."
"Zander is simply awesome. "
"If you want to liberate your soul, listen to Zander's Mahler. If you want to take your leadership skills to the next level, study the Art of Possibility with the Zanders. In his presentation Ben explodes traditional leadership thinking and takes leadership out of the closet. He blows the door WITH its hinges off that closet, and you can never go back after working with Ben. His leadership view is unconventional, irreverent and bold. Its impact is without boundaries. I have seen Ben Zander's teaching transform entire teams through Possibility in ways that are nothing short of magical with results that are nothing short of exemplary. He is a catalyst for Excellence."
