Testimonials

It was such a pleasure and now Miha is part of our journey. Miha Pogačnik's session has planted a seed with all those who were there, the rate of growth will not be the same for all, and that is the beauty of life.

Skandia Insurance Co Ltd

A great way to help management and leaders to learn to actively listen! Miha was passionate, instructive and really opened up the audience.

ABN Amro Bank

I first saw Miha at a worldwide advertising congress and was completely bowled over by him. I have never seen anyone so successful in bringing two seemingly opposing concepts together - classical music and business school theory. When you hear a piece of music deconstructed by him, his message takes on a very powerful form. I would really encourage anyone to listen to him - it is difficult to imagine the power and the impact.

When Miha went to the stage, it was very clearly a breath of fresh air. The energy, the power. The audience was tired, exhausted, but at the end of the performance, incredibly reenergized, revitalized.

Miha Pogačnik, an exceptional virtuoso, is a unique explorer who is bringing music to business not as entertainment, but to enhance understanding.

It was an honour to have Miha Pogačnik at our Leadership Symposium. His overwhelming presentation closed the event, as we say in Venezuela, "con broche de oro" (like a gold medal).

Miha works magic. Through his consummate violin artistry and his deep appreciation of the human journey, he is able to take his audiences into their own experience with change and transformation. I have seen his magic work with very diverse audiences, from corporate executive teams, to school teachers, to interested individuals all over the world. He never fails to create a spell that allows us to go more deeply into our experience, and from those depths extract new levels of awareness and capacity.

What Miha does is fascinating, fresh and astonishingly beautiful. I think that he would be a wonderful addition to any leadership programme. He decomposes musical masterpieces to illustrate the leadership journey. I would highly recommend him if you want to add an innovative and very beautiful slant.

It's a new way for the business world to see things. Pogačnik 's approach allows you to draw out the best part of yourself, of your intelligence, your intuition, your inspiration. It combines the rational part of ourselves with our emotions... which is a key to success.

Cecilia Gobbi, President, Gobbi Foundation

Miha Pogačnik made my group of banking and insurance executives listen in another way. Certainly, he made us discover an entirely new Bach! The energy he brought into the group is still there, and widely felt as very positive. It is great to have the opportunity to benefit and enjoy someone with his kind of talent.

Anton van Rossum, CEO, FORTIS

The way he engaged the team at our leadership workshop at Belenheim Palace and used himelf and his music to help them see things afresh was fantastic. The insights he shared with them helped hold a mirror up to their own situation and has helped them all gain strength through a greater understanding of their personal and business journey.

Mike Johnson, Managing Director, Sodexho

I first met Miha at a conference where he was speaking. His presentation was terrific, you just gave yourself up to it, it was very, very enjoyable. But it wasn't until afterwards where I reflected why it worked so well. The power of music is that it gets you to listen. The power of Miha is that he has been clever enough to translate it so that a business audience can realise what it takes to create something their consumers will LOVE and that is a journey that is not for the faint hearted. It is a journey of courage, creativity, failure, ambition, adventure and hopefully, in the end, successful resolution. And all of that from one speech. It's quite a performance.

John Kearon, CEO, Brainjuicer Ltd.

[Miha Pogačnik brings] the vision and interdisciplinary know-how for helping culture transcend artificial borders.

Javier Perez de Cuellar, former U.N. Secretary General

Thank you again, Miha, for your wonderful presentation of transformational relationship musical masterpieces can have on organizational development. This resonates deeply with our striving for excellence and inspiration here at Porsche.

Kurt Walbert, CEO, Porsche Holding Gesellschaft mbH Salzburg

It has been my belief that art in any form is the real source of inspiration and creativity. Miha Pogačnik, with his violin, his music, his presentation has proven once more to me the validity of this. In the Mattel environment, so driven to creativity, Miha's music and presentation has been a wonderful, inspiring, rejuvenating experience. His artistry playing the Guarnieri's violin touches the most inner cords of human being.
