An analogy that I often use with clients when I speak about their business, is the nightclub. If your business is a nighclub, then your team are on the dancefloor. Having a good time and enjoying their evening. Your managers are the best dancers on that floor. Other dancers try to dance with them or copy their moves. Managers should inspire the other dancers to be better than they are right now. Directors are the DJ. They control the room. The read the mood. They know when to speed up or slow down the music for the crowd. They understand their craft and occasionally take chances on new music. A DJ cannot control a nightclub from the dancefloor. They cannot run up and down from the DJ box to the dancefloor to change the music. If they try, the club becomes unhinged, disjointed and the mood and message of the evening gets lost and people leave. No-one wants to go to an empty club where the DJ is only playing the music that they themselves like. If you run a business, read the room and the people. A team that enjoys their work and their workplace will stay and it will encourage other dancers to join. #readtheroom #BusinessStrategy #growth #ghost

Your local sports team SUCKS. You SUCK. (music fades out...) "Hi everyone! That covers our housekeeping for today's webinar. Today we're going to learn about..."

This clip stopped me in my scroll. A man is served his pizza in a nice but not fancy Italian restaurant. Without warning or introduction, he begins belting Verdi's "La donna è mobile" from Rigoletto. The restaurant is instantly transformed. Forks were held mid-bite. Conversations halted. A waiter froze, his pitcher tilted above a glass. The entire restaurant was suspended in time. It turns out the man is Germany's Got Talent winner, and professionally trained opera singer, Ricardo Marinello. Apparently this is Ricardo’s shtick. He eats at Italian restaurants around the world and suddenly starts singing opera. But here's what fascinated me: If it was anything but music, an interruption during dinner would be met with annoyance. Imagine a juggler or magician during apps. A mime or comedian over soup. You'd probably ask for the check. But music? Music gets a free pass. It doesn't need permission to electrify an atmosphere. It simply does. It delights by transforming strangers into audience members, and a routine Tuesday dinner into an unforgettable experience. Only music can turn an interruption into an invitation. This is the power of music. This is why I love working in the music industry so much. #CreativeStrategy #CustomerExperience
