Master Class
“The Only difference between a groove and a grave, is the depth.”
-Lena Horne
American Singer
(1917 – 2010)
You’re good! You’re in the groove and you know it! You may also sense that your groove is growing deeper. Have you been wondering if it’s time to get out of your comfort zone? This may be the time to “push it” instead of relaxing and “coasting out” your career.
Now – What?
So how is a seasoned, experienced, well-traveled professional supposed to move further ahead with their skills? There’s a paucity of ways to grow beyond “gross professionalism.” The University system isn’t designed to offer short term coaching; consultancies for the most part focus on research and prescription, not individual development. You’re already among the best in your field – but it’s a big field. Experience is an awesome teacher, but it takes forever. Creating genuine growth usually requires live, objective counsel, real-time coaching and behavior modeling. Where to get that?
Three Days with Bernstein
In the arts, certain elder practitioners are recognized as “Treasures” because their combination of skill, experience, repertoire and reputation place them in the rare class by themselves: “Master.” Most masters teach, but basics classes are for beginners. For both young prodigies and more experienced performers there’s something special: “The Master Class.” Conducted privately or in intimate groups, Master Classes are an opportunity for the old pro to watch, listen and advise younger players outside the realm of the formal course. (*See Dessert, below.) The benefit? It’s personal! And, you go until the desired result is achieved. It’s not a lecture, it’s real coaching and learning for real major league players, on a true one-to-one basis.
So, is there such a thing for business professionals? As a matter of fact, yes!

How it Works
You bring what you’re working on, the business problem at hand; and we work on it together. Maybe it’s a problem of how you see yourself. Perhaps it’s a problem with focus. Maybe you need to push into using props or visual aids. Maybe you can solve your issue by learning to use the room effectively rather than being stuck behind the lectern. In many cases, a client discovers that what worked for them as a young comer, doesn’t sit so well on the senior professional they’ve become – perhaps “relaxing into seniority” is a solution. The Master Class is not so much “being taught,” as much as it’s about allowing the Master to help you see your challenge in an objective light, and discover your own unique solution.

Enjoy this 15 minute video of Leonard Bernstein “conducting” a Master Class in Conducting at Tanglewood Music Center. A straight-forward and easy to understand teacher, Bernstein was certainly nothing less than a stellar talent in composing, conducting, performing and teaching: indeed a 20th Century Modern Master. Here he teaches Conductors how to conduct…
