Human Resources and Workplace Performance

Music for Peak Productivity

This overview of music’s body-mind power targets braintuning techniques to daily workplace challenges. Participants learn how to use music to stimulate and relax the mind and body to balance daily energies; manage stress; boost IQ, concentration, motivation, and creativity; prepare for presentations; handle anger and aggression; enhance immunity, conquer colds, and treat headaches; and take the quick power naps that are corporate America’s latest productivity tool.

Tune Your Brain for Gain Sharing

Healthy, happy employees provide higher value and save their companies money in absenteeism and health care costs. This session teaches how to use music to launch a healthy lifestyle: Exercise more regularly, efficiently, and pleasurably; lose weight; stop smoking; reduce stress; and manage type "A" and "D" personality traits associated with high risk of heart disease. You gain more productive, reliable people; your employees gain a new set of self-management tools that they can use to realize their best potential in all aspects of life.

 Listen More, Stress Less

Experts estimate that stress accounts for 40% of worker turnover and 1 million absent employees each day. Stress erodes job performance, alters brain and body chemistry, accounts for 75-90% of primary care doctors’ visits, and can increase the risk of serious diseases such as heart attack, stroke, and cancer. Learn how the right music can actually reverse stress symptoms in the mind and body, working on your brain waves and central nervous system to lower blood pressure, relax muscles, reduce stress hormone secretions, and quiet the mind.

Music to Manage Your Brain Waves

The electrical impulses of music stimulate different brain wave patterns in the cortex—and matching your brain wave activity to the demands of your job can make you a better worker. From the alpha waves that promote concentration and learning, to beta waves for multitasking and thinking fast, to the theta waves of creative work, music can help you manage brain waves to suit your state of mind to the task at hand.

Thinking Out of the Box for Brain Workers

Listening to music activates the corpus callosum, the bundle of nerve fibers that joins the left and right hemispheres of the brain and enables integrated creative thought. Learn how the right music can help you "think out of the box" to turn great ideas into analysis and action, boost your abstract reasoning ability, and enhance many other mental processes critical to those who work with their wits and creative powers.

Music for the Analytical Mind

Business planning, analysis, data-crunching, and research require intense mental focus—which you can find with the right music and a pair of headphones. Learn how music’s frequencies, tempo, and noise-masking potential can maximize your analytical abilities.

Music for Your Memory

The information age requires efficient data storage and retrieval in human minds as well as machines. In the face of fast change and unprecedented informational access, many people feel they’ve reached the limits of retention and recall—but music’s memory-enhancing power can help.

Close the Deal: Music for Sales, Negotiations, and Pitches

By boosting self-confidence, circulating blood and oxygen through the body and mind, and working on the limbic system to create a winner’s mindset, the right music can help you sell, pitch, and achieve your objectives in any negotiation.

Tunes for Time Management

Find out how music can affect your Circadian rhythms—the nervous system signals and hormonal secretions that can help align your biorhythms with your energy needs. Tune in to put time on your side through busy days, important events, travel, and precious leisure hours.

Fight Job Burnout with the Performance Power of Music

Americans work more and spend about a quarter less time relaxing today than they did fifteen years ago.

Group Mood Management: A Team-Building Workshop

Make music your ally for concentration and health during good days and crunch times alike.
