How Leadership Resonates
Becoming a stronger leader is more than just personal betterment—its impact extends beyond the individual or team, resonating across every aspect of your business. From a more engaged company culture to an increased bottom line, research studies on executive coaching and leadership development have found a wide range of benefits for businesses that truly invest in it. In fact, companies that implement leadership development programs have reported massive returns on their investment.
Audira’s coaching and leadership programs take this a step farther. By baking in aural performance and active listening exercises to our workshops, we harness the power of music to inspire collaboration, cultivate accountability, and align individual performance with organizational purpose.
The power of our music-fueled workshops isn’t just based on our own experience—music has been proven to stimulate and strengthen the neural pathways in the brain. Researchers at Johns Hopkins famously conducted a study asking jazz musicians to perform while undergoing an fMRI. While observing neural activity during their performances, the researchers discovered that music activated the same parts of the brain we use to listen, learn, and make leadership decisions.
The groundbreaking Johns Hopkins study isn’t the only research that’s uncovered the power of active listening. Download our stat sheet below and discover how listening, emotional intelligence, coaching, and leadership development can benefit you and your organization.
