"Most men think they are simply here on earth to kill time - and it's killing them. But the truth is precisely the opposite. The secret longing of your heart, whether it's to build a boat and sail it, to write a symphony and play it, to plant a field and care for it - those are the things you were made to do.

That's what you're here for. Explore, build, conquer - you don't have to tell a boy to do those things for the simple reason that it is his purpose. But it's going to take risk, and danger, & there's the catch. Are we willing to live with the level of risk God invites us to? Something inside us hesitates."

Read what people have experienced at our sessions!

“I doubt whether anyone leaving the session did not learn anything valuable they could take back with them. There could not have been a more appropriate time to arouse the music in me. My passion for what I do has sprung to the fore and I no longer silence my music.”

 

Sometimes “the music is missing in one’s life” and so the story linked to the music brought back some things we probably know but need to be reminded about every now and again.”

 

“This was a very challenging one, although we say it is difficult not to be yourself, finding yourself and your music is this world is difficult. Only 1 % in this world have those blessings - most people do things that make them unhappy where they are and still keep quiet. We need a lot of these sessions - there is nothing that you can do effectively with passion if your soul is not happy - at least if we can find happiness within ourselves and acknowledge what God has given us - although you still look for your music trying to find yourself - you will be able to do your job better.  Not everybody sees that - only those who take time and talk to themselves have answers for themselves.”

 

“There are times when we do things for the wrong reason and have to find out what really makes me tick.”

 

“I loved the way the facilitator linked personal lessons to actual issues in the work place. The analogy to “finding your own music” was very clear!”

 

“I must say it is encouraging to see the company dedicating resource to engage in this kind of things.”

 

“I have learnt so many things, that’s be best gift I have ever given myself!”

 

“I found the session very informative as well as insightful, loved the way the speaker re-iterated that we are responsible for ourselves and our careers, no-one else can drive that ownership (in Old Mutual, we sometimes expect Line Managers to be the ones that empower us, when the actual ownership of this lies with us, as an employee, and employer to a certain extent can facilitate this).”

 

“One needs to find the talent within oneself and do, what you like best, to the best of your ability.”

 

“I thoroughly enjoyed this session. Brilliantly synchronized. The message could not have been made clearer and the method used to carry it over was excellent!”

 

“It was absolutely STUNNING!!!!!!!!!  The speaker was equally good and I have personally learned a lot from him.  The passion with which the guys performed the music clearly shows their love of what they are doing.”

 

“The show was great!”

 

Wonderful.”

 

“Enjoyed it immensely! Especially the metaphors…”

 

“I enjoyed myself so much that I even took the show home!”

 

“The music created an ambience that allowed one to process the speakers words.  It show cased 2 individuals who are passionate about their commitment to their music and a speaker who demonstrated his passion through his words as well as his commitment, through his anecdotes, to his continuous self-renewal.”

 

“I enjoyed the session very much indeed - and I am so pleased I got to see/hear them.”
