“The Leader’s Playlist is a wonderful tribute to the need for growth and development for leaders at all levels.

It’s filled with great research and heartfelt stories of transformation as people learn about themselves and then use what they have learned to scale their organization.”

What are you bumping up against as a leader?

Maybe you’re feeling frustrated because…

9

Your team isn’t matching your level of motivation and engagement

9
You are not getting the results you’d hoped for when you delegate
9
You can’t seem to find or retain the level of talent you need to grow your company
9
Your staff isn’t handling customers the way you would like
9
You keep running into the same problems at every level, at every company

Or maybe something has gone fundamentally wrong:

Such as…

9
You are experiencing a major downturn in your business
9
You keep getting passed up for promotions you know you deserve
9
You have been removed from your leadership position

Whatever challenge you’re dealing with, you’ve likely tried to change it already.

Committed leaders like you consistently invest in their leadership.

The problem is, most leadership development techniques focus only on how to think and act differently.

Thinking and acting differently takes constant, conscious effort. Not only is this exhausting, but it’s virtually impossible to keep up forever.

This is why you may have been able to apply a new leadership strategy in the short term, then a year later still found yourself struggling in other areas of your work or life.

So, how can you set yourself up for long-term success?

In this leadership masterclass, we propose a radical new form of leadership development: Feeling your way to becoming a better leader, using the most powerful feelings-shifting tool we have, music.

“I have always been an advocate for change, both in myself and others.

We can’t expect people to follow leaders who are not willing to take a long, hard look at ourselves and pivot to be our best every day. As a former violinist and teacher, I also know the amazing transformative power of music. ‘The Leader’s Playlist’ is both a testament to that power and a handbook for how to use it to be our best selves.”

“Susan Drumm is really onto something.

As a lifelong songwriter and in my work with veterans with PTSD, I have seen firsthand the correlation between music and healing the past and how finding a new playlist can reset the brain.

Bottom line: songs have the power to change us. The Leader’s Playlist is a groundbreaking work on how this change can happen for leaders in the workplace. I highly recommend it.”

David Lee

Multi-Platinum Songwriter

“The Leader’s Playlist confirms what I have always known in my heart: Music connects us to each other, the known and the unknown.

Understanding my role in music and applying the lessons I’ve learned through music have taught me how to be a better leader, manager, partner and human. Her work proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that it can happen for anyone.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Closed

I’ve attended other leadership masterclasses or programs before. How will The Leader’s Playlist Masterclass be different?

Great question! Other leadership training paradigms are all about how to think and act differently. They rely on prescriptive advice for challenging situations, essentially spoon-feeding you “rules” on how to function as a leader. We believe this is hard to sustain for most leaders and underestimates what you’re capable of.

The Leader’s Playlist Masterclass teaches you how to shift your emotional state and deeply ingrained patterns to become a more enlightened leader. Enlightened leaders heal themselves from the inside out in order to make objectively better decisions and no longer be ruled by their reactions.

Could I just read the book and get the same information?

While the general ideas are the same, you won’t get the same experience (and likely not the same results) from just reading the book. It’s similar to comparing a textbook to a college class. Both cover the same topics, but most students learn better in a class than from just reading the textbook on their own.

The book presents these concepts; the masterclass walks you through how to integrate them into your leadership. The masterclass provides more step-by-step instruction and includes a helpful workbook to guide you to implement.

In short, the masterclass is for those who know they learn better with a real teacher and a curriculum… not just the “textbook”.

When is The Leader’s Playlist Masterclass happening?

Whenever you want! You get instant access to The Leader’s Playlist Masterclass as soon as you complete registration.

How long is The Leader’s Playlist Masterclass?

The class is broken down into 10 lessons with about 2 hours of recorded content. How long it takes you to complete will depend on how much time you spend on the exercises and completing your playlist. This is not a lecture that you sit and watch passively; there is a workbook that you’ll be using to facilitate breakthroughs as you consume the content.

How long will I have access to the class?

One year! When you purchase the masterclass, you’ll have it for at least 12 months to revisit as needed.

What does registration to The Leader’s Playlist Masterclass cost?

Your exclusive masterclass registration fee is $997. This is proprietary content, step-by-step instruction, and coaching that you won’t find in any other business book, training, or seminar.
