Ben Zander was in Cape Town yesterday for a presentation and the launch of the Alive With Possibility DVD, a DVD celebrating the possibility in South Africa. Ben is the conductor of the Boston Philharmonic Orchestra, and one of the most transformational speakers that I have ever heard.
He speaks about downward spiral thinking, and radiating possibility speaking, and leaves us with the challenge of looking for possibility in our thoughts and our actions.

Where was he? Sorry I missed it!
You captured this man and his spirit. I would have loved to have heard him play and speak.

@Caroline, he was at the Baxter, and in Johannesburg on Friday.
@Virginia, thanks. He is an amazing speaker. You can see him at http://www.ted.com (just search for his name).
