Steve Barnett where you can imagine a whole audience of non-musicians becoming an orchestra in minutes … naturally and effortlessly … The book Steve Barnett as your Motivational Speaker for your conference and event

Imagine the conductor not uttering a word, yet speaking volumes – about leadership, communication, co-operation and synergy… imagine a learning experience more powerful than words …

Imagine the value to a conference, of everyone having one vision, one idea, one beat, being in one focus and working with united energy.

An organization is like an Orchestra. As the Silent Conductor, Steve’s compelling presentation gives a hands-on musical experience of being a significant part of a powerful unit.

Steve Barnett | The Silent Conductor

Steve developed a unique non-verbal approach to group events. Every member of the audience plays an instrument and so becomes an integral part of an interactive, rhythmic encounter that crosses all language and cultural barriers.

Whether participants are accomplished musicians or complete novices, they become united, motivated and inspired.

Using facial expressions and body language as his basic communication tools, Steve allows his audience to discover the power of cooperation with his ‘Basic Rules of Engagement’:

1.    Actions speak louder than words
2.    Make work serious fun
3.    Use the power of one to one
4.    Smile, make eye contact, listen
5.    Encourage the good stuff
6.    Demonstrate belief in people

Steve Barnett is one of a kind Motivational, Inspirational, After Dinner and Women’s Day Speaker

“You probably agree with the adage “To start as you mean to continue” and one reason for the huge success of this event was your energetically powerful opening presentation which conveyed exactly the correct spirit and message to the audience.”
    Anthony O’Mara, Trend Micro

“At a TEDx Johannesburg event, we were riveted by the extraordinary stories of ordinary people who have made remarkable changes in our country and online, tales of earthworms and dung beetles, and enthralled by The Silent Conductor ,Steve Barnett.

Without saying a word, he had the entire audience performing a mini musical orchestra using a chopstick on a length of plastic tubing, using our voices and clapping our hands. In 15 minutes, as his final slide said: “A diverse group of people, mostly strangers, played together in rhythm and harmony – without speaking, unrehearsed and without musical training – and made music.”If that was possible, he asks, the question is: “How can we silently conduct change?” “
    Toby Shapshak    Editor of Stuff Magazine from an article in The Times (South Africa)

“That was totally sensational, It was more than spirit-building…it was a spiritual experience. I can recommend you unreservedly to anyone. Thank you for transforming our staff in a day.”
    Michelle Blummenau    Fedsure Health Marketing.

“One can talk about ‘unity’, one can intellectualize about it, but all of this conjecture appears as nothing when you experience the real thing. Its transcendent, it sets you free, it reveals our true potential.”
    Louis Gavin    DDB South Africa

“Thank you for an overwhelming experience…we’re still being congratulated, thanked & complimented by our colleagues”
  Nazli Roskin    H R Manager Nokia S A

“As a veteran of innumerable conferences and seminars at which one of the primary objectives has been to create a common bond between diverse personalities and talents in pursuit of a common goal, I have not participated in an exercise as stimulating as Steve Barnett’s.”
Rob Renolds    COO, M-TEL

“Within a very short space of time, led by only gestures and mime, the entire hall resounded with the magnificent sound of a percussion concert of syncopated, rhythmical music…..amazing. Steve Barnett left us with a philosophical message …not unrelated to the essence of successful assisted reproductive technology. Thank you… your country and your lessons will not be forgotten.”
Kay Elder    Editor, Alpha medical publication, Cambridge U.K.

“Uncle Steve is the funniest man in the world.”
