For Immediate Release Business leaders to receive vocal training as part of new leadership development program How can business leaders get their voices and corporate messages heard in today’s media dominated world? A group of thought leaders and artists – including vocal coaches - will work with business participants to explore this question during a unique four-day forum presented by Leadership Development at The Banff Centre. The New Story-Makers: Power, Influence and Authenticity in a Media-Dominated World runs September 19-22."What’s unique about this forum is that it brings leaders and the arts together," explains organizer Brian Woodward. "The primary challenge facing leaders today is getting their story out in a way that builds trust and commitment. We explore how the artistic processes can enhance leadership within a heavily saturated media environment." "Participants examine how to create their stories and discover through voice and vocal methods how to lead with both influence and authenticity," Woodward adds. Thought leaders and artists include:
The New Story Makers is offered by the Centre’s Leadership Labä , that was launched last year to explore the connections between the arts, ecology, culture, and the practice of leadership. Two Thought Leader Forums have been held to date including: Leading for Creativity and Innovation (September 2003) that used visual arts as a creative medium for exploration; and Ethical Governance – Creating a Climate of Corporate Integrity (February 2003) using theatre arts as a tool for discovery.
