Engagement Through Entertainment

Executive Speakers Bureau

The connection between creativity and productivity in the workplace is clearer than ever before. There has been a resurgence of corporate leaders supporting a professional environment that fosters growth through innovative and creative thinking. Speakers who understand this correlative relationship are in high demand, particularly those who in fact use creative mediums to prove that a focus on both the right and left brain processes should be encouraged for optimum success.

Javier Peña, speaker and subject of the award-winning documentary “For Once in My Life,” used creative and innovative methods of teaching and leadership to positively impact the lives of those with whom he worked. In the process his life changed. He is now a highly sought-after speaker who shares the pivotal role an understanding of musical concepts plays in an organization’s success.
Pulling from his many years of experience as Music Director for a band whose members have varying degrees of mental and physical disabilities, Peña uses analogies based on the principles of music and performance to help audience members understand their crucial roles in the final arrangement of collective success.

Executive Speaker Bureau’s Mark Schulman and Ronan Tynan have inspired countless audiences through their powerful presentations with music and performance as cornerstones. Celebrity drummer Schulman and international chart-topping tenor Tynan motivate by sharing not only what can be accomplished through the power of creative pursuits but also what can be overcome. Schulman, a cancer survivor-no, conqueror-creates an environment in which those listening will be prompted to move, learn and create “beyond their perceived limitations.” Tynan, a Paralympics gold medalist and doctor specializing in orthopedic sports injuries, has performed for numerous dignitaries including two United States presidents. Being a double amputee has never kept him from achieving personal and professional goals; he merely had to find more creative ways to achieve them. In getting the listener to grasp the importance of engaging alternate means of reaching desired goals both Schulman and Tynan are able to brilliantly command the stage on which they stand.

If one were to combine years of experience in the financial and legal sectors with a semi-professional career as a French horn player, it would result in an unusually gifted perspective on how to maximize growth. Ben Hines takes his unique perspective and through his company, Moving Performance, helps executives and emerging leaders “move toward collaborative and productive outcomes.” In high demand because of his alternative approach to building teams and facilitating change in company structure to maximize productivity, Hines continues to prompt success through the sound of music.

Though his medium differs slightly from the aforementioned speakers, Erik Wahl’s results are the same: he is able to redefine how a company views its path towards profitability. An international graffiti artist with a background in both entrepreneurship and art, Wahl’s on-stage painting while presenting his message supports his notion that innovation and creativity are at the heart of high performance levels. During the eight years spent as a partner in a corporate firm, Wahl became increasingly frustrated with the absence of thinking “outside the box”. His presentations reflect the change in mindset he believes is necessary for companies to increase profit and has resulted in clients such as AT&T, Disney, Microsoft and FedEx embracing his artistic methodology.

Any way you spin the record or stroke the canvas, selecting a speaker who appeals to the left (logic, analysis, computation) and the right (creativity, imagination, visualization) will cause your audience members to do the same.
