Lyrics N' Leadership Institute

We incorporate dance into our lessons and curriculum. Magda's work supports our decision. She shares her journey from neuropharmacology to dance, exploring the overlap between systematic scientific research and artistic expression. She highlights the benefits of dance for brain health, including its impact on vascular and cognitive functions, mood improvement, and empathy enhancement. Magda also discusses her innovative dance programs for older adults and people living with dementia, emphasizing the therapeutic value and social connections formed through movement. Listen as Magda enlightens us on how dance can serve as a powerful tool for lifelong brain health and well-being. https://lnkd.in/ghvPiphZ #NeuroSomaticCreative #BrainHealth #arts #ArtsLeadership

Using music to teach leadership and brain health skills is a 'no brainer' because our brains are BUILT for music. Here's Dr. David Eagleman, a neuroscientist who speak more on this with Dr. Daniel Levitin. Such a great episode! https://lnkd.in/g2zU5inC #NeurosomaticCreativity #ArtsLeadership #BrainHealth #BrainCapital

This is why we are advocating for music education in the early part of life as well as throughout the life span. Why not use the music of Prince to strengthen your ears! The work of Dr. Nina Kraus, Dr. Ani Patel, and Dr. Daniel Levitin talk about how music strengthens the auditory system like no other activity. The OPERA hypothesis is a great study to refer to. It also helps with detecting 'speech in noise', which affects the elderly. They claim that even if you played music for a few years in childhood, it still has a positive lingering effect on the brain's auditory system in the adult years. NeuroSomatic Creativity? uses the arts to build the brain for excellence and creative thinking in non-arts areas (as well as arts for arts sake!). #BrainHealth #BrainCapital #Curiosity #arts #PrismaticLeadership #LyricsNleadership #neuroSomaticCreativity

Since we’re using Prince’s lyrics to teach leadership skills and brain health, we stumbled across this duet they did after we learned about Angie Stone’s passing. It’s a beautiful song encouraging women to take their rightful place as the creative, powerful geniuses they are. You are a QUEEN!?????????????? Put your crown back on. Be a light! Song Study: U Make My Sunshine At Night By Prince and Angie Stone “Behind your back, he calls you names But you’re still a queen to me In this trusting place you can erase Every tear that ever rolled down your weary face All the time you waste in that paper chase Is time better spent in these arms of mine Heaven sent angel so divine You’re my complement U make my sun shine U make my sun shine at night” ‘Rest In Purpose’ Together???????? https://lnkd.in/gW7CayyM #Prince #AngieStone #LyricsnLeadership #WomenLeaders #creativity #brainhealth #prince

Neurosomatic Creativity is the process of strengthening the MIND-BODY-BRAIN connection for increased creativity in non-arts areas through using the arts. This will be game changing because the arts build strong complex brains needed for this AI filled future of work. I share this unique trademarked method of learning with the MAGICademy podcast below. I also share how world renown dancer Keeley Kaukimoce and I are developing the Lyrics N' Leadership Institute (LNL), which develops leadership and brain health skills using the work of famous artists, like PRINCE.??

As we get ready for Brain Health Week, I am sharing my interview with Dr. Olga Galvin, the director of European Federation of Neurological Associations. She shares how brain disorders affect 1 out of 3 people and awareness is key. Of course we at the Lyrics N' Leadership Institute believe including the arts in prevention strategies is key as well. Brain health affects our creative potential so check out her words of advice.

Do you want a fluffy hippocampus within a beautiful brain? ???? MOVE! ?????? Dr. Wendy out of NYU claims that if you dance, walk, run, or do any movement that gets your heart rate up, you are fluffing up your hippocampus, which may help stave off dementia and increase memory. At the Lyrics N' Leadership Institute, we incorporate dancing and movement exercises in our leadership lessons for this reason!

Art can speak in many ways. Here's how it spoke to our co-founder Genein. "Sophia, a former 5th grade student, drew this for me in 2018, knowing my fascination and admiration of Abraham Lincoln. With rainbow colors highlighting his face, it resonated with me. Just like in all light there are hidden colors of the rainbow, there are also hidden gifts and abilities within us, no matter our start in life. Prismatic leaders are the ones who see these hidden gifts within themselves and others and can draw them out. In 2024, I read Steve Inskeep’s ‘Differ We Must’ and he mentioned how Lincoln’s 1st inaugural address was stored in a wet carpet bag and ended up in rainbow colors as well. (Listen below). I then made the ?? creative connection. On this day, remember to be a prism?? for others and shine bright!
