Ben Hines

Keynote Speaker: Founder of Moving Performance, Former Barclays PLC Leader, Music-Driven Team Builder

Ben Hines Biography

Ben Hines founded Moving Performance in 2009, combining his extensive commercial experience in the financial and legal sectors with his talents as a semi-professional orchestral French horn player. He has served as the CEO of Moving Performance, where his unique approach integrates his 13 years in business with his passion for music, specifically through leadership and team development.

Hines has developed a reputation for using music as a tool for organizational development, encouraging reflection among executive boards and emerging leaders on their strengths and collaborative potential. His innovative keynote presentations, often featuring a live quintet, provide immersive experiences that leverage musical metaphors to inspire actionable ideas in leadership and teamwork. He is known for facilitating "Know the Score," an experience that uses music and world-class musicians to enhance team performance across global venues.

Earlier in his career, Hines demonstrated leadership in high-performing teams within the financial and professional service industries. At Barclays PLC, he was instrumental in creating and implementing innovative product solutions that expanded the bank's international reach. Furthermore, at CPA Global, he significantly influenced the company's restructuring to optimize its presence in key markets. Hines has also introduced the "Original Song Writing" Conference Package, where participants collaboratively write and perform a song, embodying their commercial goals and conference themes. He resides in London with his wife and five young children, maintaining a balance between his professional endeavors and family life.

Ben Hines Speaking Topics

Vision Creation

There's no sound without a score.

Having a clear plan is key to good business. But more than that, is having a clear vision. With a score in front of them, an orchestra can play the right notes at the right time. But with an inspiring conductor leading the score, they create music.

We can help you transform your plan into a vision, using music as the metaphor for encouraging, inspiring and empowering your people to move into a successful future.

Emotional Awareness

The nuance is as important as the note.

Without emotion, music is flat and dull. Many successful organizations have realized that without emotional intelligence, their business is weaker. Strengthening the emotional quotient in your people will help them to lead co-operative and collaborative teams.

Music opens up emotions in a non-threatening and accessible way. Taking your business objectives, we'll connect to the heart of the issues you and your people face. Using music we'll facilitate how emotional intelligence can help to move your organization forwards.

Team Development

Teamwork is essential to business success.

Without collaboration in music you get a cacophony. Without co-operation in business you get chaos. We know that teamwork doesn't always come naturally or easily, but we have fun, motivational, rewarding and memorable solutions that will build relationships in your teams.

We'll help your teams achieve the impossible together.

Keeping your specific business objectives in mind, we'll get even the least musical of your people writing and performing music with their colleagues. We offer bespoke musical experiences that will stretch your teams and help them learn the vital skills of working effectively together.

Leadership Growth

You're under the pressure of expectation to perform.

The spotlight is on you to empower a large group of exceptionally talented, emotional individuals. You have to lead them in working together as a single, multi-disciplinary, high performing team. Right here. Right now.

How would you do it?

For an orchestral conductor this is a daily task. We'll show you and your leaders how conductors lead musicians to play at their very highest capability under pressure. By taking musical leadership as a model for business leadership, and creating role-play scenarios where you are expected to lead and inspire a high performing team, we'll explore with you how to you can get the highest standards of performance from your teams, and exceed the expectations of your clients.

Effective Communication

Communication is the heart of good business.

Listening to needs. Expressing opinion. Voicing solutions. Communication is complex and subtle. And as many leaders will well know, the success of your business can depend as much on the nuance of non-verbal communication as much as it does on clear verbal communication.

We find that in the complexity and nuance of music, there's a lot of crossover with business.

By creating and performing music together with your teams, we'll help you take the communication skills of a successful string quartet or a sell-out rock band and transfer them to your teams.
