Performance Lectures

Based on an internationally acclaimed career in composition and performance, spanning three decades, John Harle’s Performance Lectures inspire audiences with insights into greater self awareness, leadership and charismatic authority.

Combining references as diverse as Leonardo Da Vinci and the Renaissance, modern jazz and orchestral music, with musical performances by John and other musicians, the lectures are both entertaining and enlightening. John also uses unique footage of artists such as Elvis Costello and Duke Ellington to illustrate aspects of the Sospiro System.

The Performance Lectures are an ideal introduction to the Sospiro System for organisations and individuals, and can also be developed to form part of a bespoke Whole Organisation Programme.
