This project was a basis of a toolbox for Personal Development coaches. The Sound Based Microinterventions toolbox was designed by Kasia, researcher of the Authentic Leadership Research Group, drawing from her extensive professional training and experience in music and composition. The development process integrated several key elements from established methodologies and Kasia's own innovative approaches:
• The toolbox incorporates principles of Eurythmics, a method developed by Jacques Dalcroze. This approach emphasizes the connection between music and movement, helping students to develop a deeper understanding of rhythm and musical expression through physical movement.
• Various vocal techniques are included to enhance self-awareness and emotional expression. These exercises are designed to improve vocal projection, articulation, and emotional resonance, providing students with tools to better express themselves and manage their emotions.
• Liz Lerman's Critical Response Process is a structured method for giving and receiving feedback on creative works. It involves a series of steps that encourage constructive dialogue and reflection, helping students to develop critical thinking and communication skills.
• Kasia has integrated her own elements from years of experience teaching music and composition. These personalized techniques are aimed at fostering creativity, self-awareness, and resilience among students.
