Executive Director of the International Arts + Mind Lab, Johns Hopkins University

Susan Magsamen, Executive Director of the International Arts + Mind Lab at Johns Hopkins University and Co-Director of the NeuroArts Blueprint, shares how art and aesthetic experiences can transform leadership and organizational culture. Listen as she talks with Professor Christopher Myers about the role of neuroaesthetics in building empathy, curiosity, and collaboration — and why leaders must learn to pause, reflect, and connect with their own creativity.
