There is no denying that music has the power to transform us. We often listen to music that matches our emotional state, but can we also leverage music to alter our state to the level of happiness we seek and bring that to bear on our leadership effectiveness?

And can we get our newfound happiness to stick?

YES, we can!

Why Music Impacts Leadership More Than You Think

For episode five of our seven-episode series on The Leader’s Playlist, I am thrilled to welcome John Ruhlin, founder of the Ruhlin Group and author of Giftology, to talk about how and why music can heal us, and even make us a more generous leader as well.

Music directly connects with your brain and your memories. It helps us recall and relive particular emotions, connects both sides of our brains, and inspires us to move our bodies.

From Reaction to Response: Change Your Mind, Change Your Leadership

This is why the new playlist we create allows us to shift our actions and our reactions, advancing our leadership effectiveness. Changing our playlists allows us to literally change our minds.

Music really does have the power to make you a better leader. Once you understand your old patterns, it’s time to create your new playlist—a shift that directly impacts how you lead.

Tune into this week’s episode to learn more.
