Hundreds of eyes are on you. Every movement is followed meticulously.
The founder and conductor of the Mannheim Philharmonic knows how that feels!
In my latest podcast, we talked a lot about “aura”. I have noticed that some people radiate a particular presence as soon as they enter a room. As a conductor, he definitely has that presence.
We discussed whether it is something you are born with or something you can develop. It was an incredibly inspiring conversation!
Watch the full conversation.
