It was great fun, clever, meaningful, brilliantly facilitated and will be remembered for a long time as the best warm up we have ever done. Thanks again Neal, and all the very best. Brilliant!

Neal Fullerton uses music to energise conferences and bring people together with his unique, and highly interactive musical sessions. He is passionate about music and a very engaging speaker who has performed at hundreds of conferences in Scandinavia, delivering what is a powerful metaphor for teamwork.
He uses very simple instruments which are handed out to the audience (tuned plastic tubes called “Boomwhackers” that produce different notes when struck) With these basic resources he transforms the “audience” into “participants” and can get 500 conference delegates all working together and playing Beethoven’s 9th symphony!
Neal Fullerton brings experience from some very diverse areas including music, business, communication and entertainment. His journey has led him from the Royal College of Music to music therapy, and from there to the entertainment world, working as a professional musician and entertainer internationally for many years.
His business experience includes working with several international blue-chip companies in the UK such as Pilkington and Bausch & Lomb running successful sales teams. He also has worked with key players in the Scandinavian oil industry including ConocoPhillips and Statoil – creating and delivering customised training courses in business presentation skills. This rich combination of experience and knowledge makes for a very engaging speaker. What is common to all of this is communication and teamwork. Neal says: “Think of any good band – The Rolling Stones, Duke Ellington or the Royal Philharmonic – they’re all really good “teams” that communicate effectively to produce harmony.”)
Neal’s interactive musical session will energise your conference delegates and also vividly illustrate what can be achieved with effective teamwork. (It’s also very entertaining) With the entire audience actively involved and contributing, an atmosphere of engagement and participation is naturally created. This in turn, positively impacts the following sessions during the conference. A musical energiser session delivers many benefits for a seminar or conference such as:
- Energising the audience
- Demonstrating teamwork
- Re-focusing the group after lunch
- Motivating the group
- Kick-starting a meeting
- Breaking the ice
- Getting people talking to each other
Using music in this interactive fashion is a subtle way to deliver key messages to take away about teamwork and it avoids the trap of “over-doing” it with audiences switching off. The elements that stand out during the session are:
- We need each other
- Cooperation is essential
- Everyone has something to contribute
- Listening is important
- Communication is vital
- Maintaining your focus is key
- Leadership is necessary
Audiences love Neal’s energy and passion for music, together with his entertaining stage presence. They enjoy his insights into how music “works” and in a very engaging style, he demonstrates how the skills needed to play music together are also transferrable to the work place. Conference delegates are engaged, interested and energised.
Neal can present in English or Norwegian.
TESTIMONIALS:
“We have had lots of very positive feedback about the session you ran with us at our conference. It was just what we wanted and needed to start off what turned out to be, according to many, our best conference ever.
