< back Harmony through singing A personal testimonial that gives evidence of major resilience More detailed information 'Your body is the harp of your soul, and it is up to you whether you make music with it or produce chaotic sounds with it.' This quote from Khalil Gibran encapsulates the keynote 'Harmony through singing': How well do we know our voice? What does she tell us about ourselves? What is her nature, her unique timbre? The relationship with our voice is at both very intimate as well as unfamiliar or frightening. However, our voice can become a compass on our path: it brings us self-confidence, it frees us from tension and stress, it helps us to express ourselves authentically and invites us to listen. Discovering our voice has a healing effect on ourselves and on our environment. Martine shares her own experiences from this intense search for her voice to her unforgettable experiences on the opera stage. And of course there is room for shared joy, experience and music! Request a quote Submit About Martine Reyners has devoted more than 20 years to singing onstage and as a path to deepening awareness.

Martine’s intent is always to bring joy and healing through the transformative power of music. She is the ideal artist for musical interludes with piano or string quartet during your conferences.

He commenced his career as a professional dancer at a young age, undergoing a training regimen akin to that of a professional athlete, complemented by an artistic layer. However, his career was curtailed due to an injury. Transitioning to a new career path, he pursued studies in multimedia and communications technology, with a specialization in web technology. He garnered both the jury's prize and the audience's acclaim for his thesis, and subsequently embarked on a career as a web ninja with These Days, a prominent communication agency under the umbrella of Young & Rubicam, one of the largest communication agency conglomerates globally. Rather than confining himself to coding, he pioneered novel technologies both within and beyond the agency, rallying teams around innovation. In 2012, he co-founded a lifestyle and mobility brand that earned the distinction of startup of the year in 2015 by the Belgian Chamber of Commerce. He later re-entered the realm of communications as a strategic technologist, providing consultancy services to major brands such as Toyota and Microsoft. His most recent venture involves an HR tech company featuring the world's first two-sided assessment, which matches individuals with jobs (and vice versa) based on soft skills, grounded in scientific rigor and academic validation. This company received recognition as a runner-up at the HR Tech awards in 2022. Additionally, he has served as a (guest) lecturer at various universities in Belgium in recent years. As a speaker, Lenny Benaïcha embodies a unique blend of serenity, poise, and captivating qualities. Leveraging his background in performative arts and technology, he adeptly translates intricate complexities into accessible concepts, rendering him an exceptional keynote speaker.
