Michael Jones Pianoscapes - Transforming Leadership, Awakening the Commons of the Imagination

 

 

Michael Jones Pianoscapes

When a leader leads from their gifts
they will seek to temper
power with beauty
accomplishment with humility
and action with reflection
so that they may discover
their familiar world with
fresh eyes and fresh ears
each day

Michael Jones creates many memorable moments through his art, his stories and his facilitation. A widely acclaimed Juno nominated (Canadian Grammy) pianist and composer whose 1983 album PIANOSCAPES would serve as a benchmark for contemporary instrumental music - Michael is also a widely recognized leadership speaker and educator, writer, thought leader and creative facilitator.

Michael, - who has produced fifteen more solo and ensemble recordings and written two books on creative leadership including; Artful Leadership, Awakening the Commons of the Imagination and the award winning Creating an Imaginative Life - began his recording career following a meeting with a stranger who asked the question; "Who will play your music if you don't play it yourself?" This question changed his life and inspired a recording career that has spanned decades and enchanted millions during what he expected to be a short break from an established career as an organizational consultant and leadership educator.

Then he came full circle. By bringing together a lifetime in music and a career in leadership education he has been inspiring others to find their own ‘music’ ithrough keynote talks, seminars and facilitated conversations that others have experienced as…”open, genuine and transformational". In so doing he is also articulating a new story of leadership engagement that is imaginative, balanced, reflective and whole.

Michael Jones has performed in many settings including the Setagaya Art Museum in Tokyo Japan, the Seoul Art Center in Korea and The International Piano Festival in Montreal, Canada. He has been a featured keynote speaker in leadership forums alongside such visionary thinkers as Colin Powell, Peter Senge, Margaret J. Wheatley and Peter Block. And he has worked with innovation teams within several global businesses exploring the synergies between creative artistry, authentic leadership and collective learning and collaboration.
