In business everyone is always keeping score.

Who is the market leader?

Who is the best salesperson?

Who just got promoted?

“Score” is the desired outcome in both business and music.

Freddie Ravel is the “Keynote Maestro” – a virtuoso pianist and world renowned keynote speaker who has created the 4 steps to help business get the right Melody, Rhythm and Harmony so the Score (outcome) that is needed can manifest. There are so many similarities between conducting an orchestra and how you conduct your company. Even if you are not the CEO of your company, you are the CEO of your life and career.

Freddie Ravel is uniquely qualified to connect the dots between music and apply them to business. As a Grammy-nominated artist who has performed across 74 countries with the likes of Earth, Wind & Fire, Madonna, Prince and Carlos Santana, he shared with me the same secrets to getting music into your business that he has delivered to the executives of Apple, Blue Shield, NASA and Microsoft.

  • 1) Melody — This is what you put out into the world. It is your “I AM” , what you stand for.
  • 2) Harmony — This is what is needed for people to connect and get along. It is the “We are.” What happens when there is a conflict at work? It is the same feeling and sound that happens when there is dissonance in music and Harmony is the resolution.
  • 3) Rhythm — This is the action you take on a daily, weekly and yearly basis to keep your business thriving. Just like our heart beat has a rhythm, we need to be aware of the beat to get everyone in sync.
  • 4) Score — This is the sum total of Melody, Harmony and Rhythm that creates the desired outcome.

The next time you find your “score” not hitting the numbers you desire, take a look at what Melody you are singing internally and externally in the world. Whether it is a melody or a story, everyone needs to be on the same page and singing the same tune.

How do you stand out in the noise that is constantly hitting your client’s senses?

Stories are the MUSIC that make your message sing and become memorable.
