The Conduct of Good Leadership

 

Work with Mike Lewis and David Glover, from the Lynchburg Symphony Orchestra as they relate the nuances of conducting this amazing local orchestra to being a leader of a company.  Engage in beautiful music and discussion surrounding this performing art as it relates to your team and business.

 

Prerecorded excerpts will be presented from the magical Historic Theatre stage, providing an entertaining backdrop to this workshop. Additionally, David will conduct your team as an “orchestra” through a few numbers, putting your leadership skills to the test!
