Speaker Series: Harmonizing Leadership: The Jazz Approach with Alex & Eric
Alexandra Walker & Eric Byrd
In this dynamic and thought-provoking keynote, Harmonizing Leadership: The Jazz Approach, we explore what modern leaders can learn from the art of jazz. Much like great jazz musicians, exceptional leaders thrive not by controlling every note but by listening, responding, and adapting in real time. This talk draws powerful parallels between the improvisational, collaborative world of jazz and the evolving demands of leadership today.
Through concepts like syncopation as a metaphor for adaptability, call-and-response as a model for authentic communication, and ensemble collaboration as a guide to building resilient teams, this session inspires leaders to think differently. We’ll examine how jazz improvisation mirrors the courage and creativity required to lead through uncertainty, and how leaders can cultivate an environment where innovation, trust, and shared purpose thrive.
Participants will leave with a refreshed perspective on leadership—one that values flexibility over rigidity, listening over dictating, and the power of shared rhythm over solo performance. Engaging, interactive, and grounded in both music and leadership practice, this talk encourages every leader to find their unique groove—and lead like a jazz musician.
Ideal for leadership summits, executive retreats, innovation conferences, and any gathering seeking a fresh, human-centered approach to leadership.
