Episode 86: Tune up your workshop with Leanne Hughes
This episode was inspired by the traction I got from a LinkedIn post a few weeks ago, that also got some great response on The Flipchart. The post was about music.

Before I share the essence of the post, I don’t think I need to give an explanation on why music is important. I have certainly delivered workshops where I didn’t have any music on, and when you get people to individually reflect, it is dead silence. You don’t even hear crickets!
I think we all understand how music has an incredible effect on how you feel. Certainly, when I need to change up my state, feel more motivated, or even if I need to calm down or focus, I put on some music. It has such a powerful impact on your mood.
