Testimonials

"Moving Performance, with their originality, their engaging style and their beautiful, moving music helped us to lay the organisation's business past to rest and focus on a better future for all our colleagues at Northern Rock. The feedback from the 200 delegates was tremendous. You should use Moving Performance at your next conference, team away day or as part of your organisational and people development agenda."

"Ben has an amazing ability to bond teams around a cause through music. It really needs to be experienced to be believed and understood. It is beautiful, uplifting and long-lasting. Ben has a very special gift that he is generous enough to share.”

René Carayol MBE, Broadcaster & Author, CEO

"Having been a musician all my life I was well aware of the power of music. Moving Performance unleashed this power on our people and our business. The team quickly lost their inhibitions, got in touch with their emotions and produced a performance; a performance that came straight back to the workplace."

Nick Crossland, Head of Contact Centres
NORTHERN ROCK PLC

"Having produced conferences for over twenty years I was struck by how Moving Performance offers something refreshingly new to clients. They weld the interactive, creative elements of their presentation with the business messages extremely well.

Ben Hines has a likeable style and his preparation is meticulous; he carefully researches the business objectives of the client and tailors a solution around this. His own commercial leadership experience gains credibility and empathy with the audience allowing him to obtain speedy buy-in which makes the whole team ethic he promotes more relevant and powerful."

"You sometimes meet people who have passion coming out of every pore, but not often. To meet someone like this, who's passion is to help others, is unique in my experience. It is for this reason that I have no hesitation in recommending Ben to anyone who wants help in building their team. A talented musician, a far sighted faciltator with a clear vision of how to help other people makes him someone you should speak to."

John White, Associate Course Director

"Compose a piece of music? But we work in IT! We wouldn’t know one end of a ‘treble clef’ from another! Surely there must be a mistake! As we sat there in disbelief ‘quavering’ in our seats the only ‘bar-line’ we wanted to hit was adjacent to the hotel lobby! On a ‘scale’ of 1 to 10 we were in the lower ‘octaves’ of confidence! But with the support of Ben and his quintet a miracle happened as a group of stiff white collar business execs were transformed into an ‘ensemble’ of creativity and imagination. We got into our rhythm and before we knew it we were stringing together ‘crotchets’ and ‘semi-quavers’ to replicate anything from the ‘crescendo’ of a volcanic eruption to the crowds alongside a cricket pitch. We ‘faced the music’ with Moving Performance to discover new team dynamics that previously had evaded us in the 9 to 5 workplace. Team building has never been so engaging drawing out raw passion and emotion amongst the group that would otherwise have lay dormant. A unique experience! Encore!"

Jamie Allsop, Head of Account Delivery

"At the beginning of our two-day workshop with Moving Performance, I was somewhat sceptical about the power of music to influence behaviour in a group of analytical accountants. By the end of the workshop, I was a convert - I experienced how Ben used music to encourage us to explore what motivates us as individuals, how to work more effectively as a team, and how to communicate better with others. The final session of the workshop provided a "wow" factor the like of which I have never experienced before on any training course - I was impressed. But more impressive for me is that two months after the workshop, we are still talking about the time we spent together and using the tools Ben and Giles introduced us to. Time is money for accountants, and that workshop was two days well spent."
