The Overtone Effect by Jan Carley
When a singer or chorus achieves precisely the right tuning in the notes they sing, the intricate balance of sound frequencies creates overtones– extra notes that, while heard, are not actually being sung. Using the phenomenon of overtones as a metaphor for creating results that go well beyond what you ever thought possible, this book will guide you to hit the high notes in your life or business.
The results? Increased joy, flow, effectiveness, and extraordinary success.
That’s the Overtone Effect!

Every individual, team and organization has the capacity to create something greater than the sum of its parts and feel the Overtone Effect.  In The Overtone Effect author Jan Carley guides you through a system to discover how to create and maintain the Overtone Effect in your personal life, as a leader, and for your organization. You will learn the generative overtone approach, mindset and language as you build your overtone foundation.  By doing so, you will align your authentic self to the core, live in your sweet spot, and build capacity and resiliency to sustain the Overtone Effect and truly live your life on a high note!

In The Overtone Effect, author Jan Carley connects her extensive background in a cappella singing with her ‘inside out’ coaching process of inspiring personal growth and development of generative leaders and organizational cultures.

No heavy jargon here, just an eminently readable book to help you and your organization journey on the path to extraordinary. The book has a supplementary 70-page workbook, filled with comprehensive exercises and activities that can be purchased for further impact.
