Benjamin Zander spoke at Lotusphere 2009

I recently had the unexpected pleasure of hearing Benjamin Zander (world famous orchestra conductor and motivational speaker) talk at the closing session of IBM's Lotusphere 2009. This was an amazing speech and very inspirational.

For anyone who was there, you will understand this image...



I can't wait for the audio version of his book to appear on iTunes.
