The Healing Notes of Music in Professional and Personal Growth

Conversations on Wellbeing at Work

Jan 16 2024 • 32 mins

Ever wonder about the symphony of benefits music can orchestrate in our lives, particularly in the workplace?

Terry Stuart of Deloitte joins us to share his harmonious expertise from his The Awesome Music Project and work with NYC based Reverberation, illuminating how melodies and rhythms aren't just soul-soothing, but also brain-boosting and performance enhancing.

Our conversation harmonizes the insights from "Reverberation: Do Everything Better with Music" , that highlights the science-backed benefits of music on mental health, creativity, and even corporate productivity. We also celebrate the arts' broader impact on the brain and discuss the essential integration of these findings into the corporate, and educational spheres.

Striking a chord on stress management, we emphasize the delicate balance between intense work stressors and essential recovery, with a spotlight on the pivotal role of quality sleep.  Terry shares his personal anecdotes how tuning into calming music and ambient sounds can transition us into a tranquil slumber. We discuss the necessity of disconnecting from stimulating content pre-sleep, and instead, sinking into fictional worlds or utilizing AI sound technology to achieve the restorative rest that primes us for peak performance.

Lastly, we  discuss the collective power of music in building communities, shared emotions, and perhaps a future where music is as much a part of therapy as it is of our playlists. We tease the brain waves of upcoming projects poised to intertwine music with healing and personal growth, targeting schools and corporations with the magic of virtual reality. Tune in as we reveal how these endeavors promise a new approach to mental health and community-building, with a special invitation for you to become part of this groundbreaking movement.
