As we enter this decisive decade, the urgency for companies to move toward the issues of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) is greater than ever. However, many organizations either don’t acknowledge the need nor have a clear approach to help guide them, leaving them out of sync and out of tune with their employees, colleagues and customers. ESG is often viewed as just sustainability and investments, but it’s much more than that – and includes a host of areas ranging from workforce diversity and inclusion to better treatment of workers. So how to get to good governance? First, it’s important to listen – a vital skill top musicians and business leaders share. In this revealing and high-energy presentation, Ravel unlocks the secrets to this keystone of all communication, helping your audience understand the unique parallels between music and business while gaining the ability to cut through the noise and achieve clarity. This fun, interactive experience will help leaders understand what disruption really sounds like, and then reveal fresh techniques to overcome adversity and get in harmony with the new corporate social responsibilities.

- How to get from Good Governance to GREAT Governance.
- What Disruption sounds like and more importantly, how to resolve it.
- Why symphonic sustainability replaces superficial sustainability.
