Lead like a conductor

A company that works together like an orchestra – a harmonious performance brought to life in his lectures by conductor and communication coach Peter Stangel. However, a successful performance of such an orchestra is impossible without a competent conductor - in music as in business. Peter Stangel explains how executives can become conductors that harmoniously lead a team in its entity but never lose sight of the individual.

"First of all, thank you very much for your great presentation last Friday! I have received only positive feedback, which I would like to pass on to you. Your explanations were really extremely entertaining and completely fulfilled our expectations. You did an excellent job of bridging the gap to our day-to-day work. Hopefully to a next time!"

With tact and baton - leading like a conductor

Conducting a classical orchestra is leadership par excellence and contrary to a business, you get immediate results! In his thrilling and entertaining keynote, conductor and Global Topspeaker Peter Stangel explains what business leaders can learn from conductors about leadership.

What executives, teams and employees learn can from conductors?

Many solos do not make a symphony - your job is to help the orchestra

In a musical ensemble, it is essential for the many different personalities to find a common ground and a common pitch. In his presentation, Global Topspeaker, conductor and communication coach Stangel demonstrates how top musicians do this and how this method can be transferred to other teams as well. If desired – together with his orchestra "die taschenphilharmonie" („the pocket philharmonics“).

Profile

More than anything else conductor and Global Top Speaker Peter Stangel has the ability to motivate. Be it as a trainer or presenter, before an audience of experts, amateurs or discerning listeners, he will always find the right tone!

For many years Peter Stangel worked as a conductor in opera houses and concert halls throughout Europe performing at concerts and recitals. His repertoire encompasses 70 operas and 350 symphonic works. He has conducted orchestras in Germany, Holland, Austria, Italy, Switzerland and Slovenia and was nominated ‘best conductor’ by the magazine Opernwelt (World of Opera) before founding his own chamber-symphonic ensemble in Munich, which he called the "Taschenphilharmonie" (the Pocket Philharmonic).

Alongside his music studies Peter Stangel also trained as a communication skills coach. Nowhere does competent team management make or break a performance as it does in the world of music. And yet nowhere else is a leadership figure so dependent on the acceptance and cooperation of a fragile fraternity of highly qualified individualists to get results. That is what makes the job of a conductor so unique and his experience so valuable.

Peter Stangel, in his inspiring presentations, draws on work within an orchestra (the company), and the roles played by the musicians (employees working in a team), and the conductor (Management) to explore issues relating to collaboration and harmony within a business. This enables him to work through practical day-to-day suggestions and recommendations for each participant to take home with them.

Motivator, leader, coach and expert, but above all a competent manager and an experienced practitioner, Peter Stangel has been training senior executives and managers from all walks of life for over 15 years. With eloquence, experience and esprit. With competence and charisma – even, on request, with his entire orchestra in tow – he will engage, inspire, entertain and motivate any audience.
