Operating on assumptions is pretty close to the opposite of having everyone on the same page and focusing efforts in the same direction. Even negative feedback should be preferable to none. This session walks the participants through a fairly regular assessment one president conducts on a variety of aspect of the chapter\, its products\, member responsibilities\, its leadership\, etc. Be ready\; you will find out things you didn’t know about your members and their thoughts. Perceptions are very revealing.

In everyday life\, we are all taught how to be excellent criticizers\, and many of us are inclined to observe critically when coaching a singer or ensemble. However\, this approach is often disparaging\, and can leave singers and ensembles feeling discouraged (if you know\, you know). In this class\, we remodel the traditional coaching paradigm and turn it on its head by emphasizing two skills that are less commonly practiced: 1) learning to identify what is working well within a performance\, and 2) finding creative ways to enhance those qualities (or further draw them out) by asking for what we do want\, rather than discouraging what we don’t want.

We’ve tried this and we’ve tried that. Nothing seems to work. And when lightning strikes and someone walks through our doors\, we find ourselves fumbling for a process that contains elements that are appealing enough to make that person want to a) stay the night and\, more importantly\, b) comeback a second time. This session will offer a model and suggestions for getting them in the door and getting back that all-important second time. Come with ideas to share as well.

A truly motivational director or section leader acts not just as a conductor\, but as a "salesman" for the music\, igniting a passion for the lock and ring of a perfectly tuned chord. By fostering a culture of positivity and section pride\, leaders inspire singers to embrace the discipline of vowel matching and precise synchronization not as a chore\, but as a path to collective excellence. This leadership style prioritizes the growth of the individual—offering specific\, encouraging feedback and celebrating small musical victories—while maintaining an atmosphere of humor and camaraderie that makes the rehearsal hall a lifeline for its members. Ultimately\, motivational leadership in barbershop is about creating a safe space where every singer feels empowered to take risks\, ensuring that when the chorus finally hits that ringing chord\, it is a triumph of both musical craft and human connection.

This is important because so many singers leave quartets and choruses (or stop singing altogether) due to interpersonal problems\, which we can all agree is a tragedy. In this class\, we will practice stretching our own capacity for conflict and discuss various strategies for seeking clarity and connection through difficult conversations. An empathetic and collaborative approach will be utilized throughout.

A truly motivational director or section leader acts not just as a conductor\, but as a "salesman" for the music\, igniting a passion for the lock and ring of a perfectly tuned chord. By fostering a culture of positivity and section pride\, leaders inspire singers to embrace the discipline of vowel matching and precise synchronization not as a chore\, but as a path to collective excellence. This leadership style prioritizes the growth of the individual—offering specific\, encouraging feedback and celebrating small musical victories—while maintaining an atmosphere of humor and camaraderie that makes the rehearsal hall a lifeline for its members. Ultimately\, motivational leadership in barbershop is about creating a safe space where every singer feels empowered to take risks\, ensuring that when the chorus finally hits that ringing chord\, it is a triumph of both musical craft and human connection.

For a new director or music team member\, the first set on the riser is less about technical overhaul and more about building trust through transparency and active listening. Success in this transition requires a deep respect for the chorus’s established culture\, while gradually introducing a new plan for musical growth that excites the membership. By collaborating closely with the administrative board and empowering section leaders\, a new leader can ensure that change feels like a shared journey rather than a top-down mandate. Ultimately\, navigating this shift effectively means prioritizing personal rapport—learning every singer's name and vocal strength—to transform the initial uncertainty of a leadership change into a unified\, resonant energy that keeps the chorus stronger than ever.
