Nobody Dies at the Orchestra?

In episode 2 of Change Your Tune's collaboration with the Conducting Artistry podcast, Susan and Ingrid discuss the sentiment behind the phrase "Nobody dies at the orchestra", unpacking both its positive motives and its potential for unwanted consequences. They offer some different ways of communicating about acceptance of imperfection in an organisation, and dive into some of their own experiences of perfectionism in the world of classical music.

🤔 Think deeply about the words we use

🎻 Be aware of when our words might be excluding those around us by speaking incorrectly about their experience
