Welcome back to Truth, Lies & Work, the award-winning psychology podcast from the HubSpot Podcast Network — hosted by Chartered Occupational Psychologist Leanne Elliott and business owner Al Elliott.

This week, we're stepping off the corporate stage and into the orchestra pit — to explore what business leaders can learn from the world of classical music.

Our guest is Roit Feldenkreis, international orchestra conductor and CEO of BHZ Group, who’s spent years translating the unspoken power of presence, body language and tempo into boardroom leadership. In this episode, Roit shares how conducting teams — musical or managerial — starts with how you show up.

This is a conversation about non-verbal leadership, team dynamics, and what it really means to trust the people around you — especially when you’re not the one holding the mic.

💡 Key Takeaways from Roit Feldenkreis

  • Conducting isn’t about control: A great leader doesn’t dictate — they guide, listen, and adjust in real time.

  • Presence speaks louder than PowerPoint: Your posture, gestures and eye contact can shape trust before a word is said.

  • Great teams don’t need micromanaging: Clarity, tempo, and space to perform are more effective than rigid oversight.

  • Leadership is performance — but not inauthentic: How you show up matters. Preparation and presence turn trust into action.

  • Silence can lead: Sometimes it’s the pause, not the speech, that gives others permission to shine.
