Welcome to the August 2007 edition of Key Inspirations with Kevin Asbjornson, MIM, Leadership and Performance consultant, keynote inspirational speaker and performing artist. Thank you for subscribing!


Key Inspiration for the Month:  Leaders and Performing Artists Provoke Thought & Evoke Emotion. Teri Egan, PhD and Ann E. Feyerharm of Pepperdine University remind us in their article entitled Emotional Dynamimnis: Playing the Music of Leadership, that “The complexity and challenges of our times call for leaders to develop all of their capabilities.  Like a master pianist who captures the power and majesty of a composition, an emotionally dynamic leader brings forth the “music” of the organization in all its complexity and inspires others to achieve their own potential as they contribute to the organization.”

The language and elements of music represent a unique and refreshing metaphor of leadership; As Artist; As Leader. Kevin D. Asbjornson translates the language and elements of music for managers and leaders through his design of interactive workshops and musical experiences which parallel the worlds of performing artists with leaders.  Managers and leaders become musicians and composers with Kevin in order to explore, discover and practice the creative and artistic competencies of Inspired Leadership.
