What does jazz performance have to do with business communication skills? Quite a lot! Our Entrepreneurship Center for Music recently collaborated with the Leeds School of Business鈥� Deming Center for Entrepreneurship for a thoughtful presentation by Assistant Teaching Professor Visda Carson about how to use listening skills as a business strategy. With a live performance by College of Music students Graeme Appel, Nathan Burak and Maya Napolillo, this event demonstrated how active listening skills apply in both performance and workplace communications. Our performers shared how they listen and adapt to each other while performing, while Carson shared insights about how these same listening skills translate into the business world.
