We transform audiences through the unifying power of rhythm. Our events break barriers, build connection, and empower organizations to work together in harmony.

In fast changing, challenging and competitive markets, corporations have extreme difficulty keeping employees…ENGAGED, CONNECTED AND INSPIRED.

“Companies with engaged employees have 2x operating margins than companies with disengaged employees.”
(Tower Watson)

“Lost productivity due to disengaged employee’s costs U.S. business
$500 Billion annually”
(Gallup)

$280 billion is spent each year to produce 1.8 million corporate meetings/events in the U.S. 2.5X revenue for companies with engaged employees vs companies with low employee engagement. 2X annual net profit occur in companies with high engagement scores. $720 million is spent annually to improve employee engagement. This represents 50% of the $1.5 billion that will be spent.

FRIENDLY ALERT!

We begin with an energizing drum call performance followed by an interactive drumming experience, allowing every attendee to connect and collaborate through rhythm. High-level messaging tailored to your group’s mission will be woven throughout, creating a powerful, relevant, and unifying experience. Attendees leave feeling inspired,
energised, a sense of community and belonging.

What we did for Inflobox:

Pulse of Innovation Program for the Insurance world:

Our expert facilitators drum your group into the room and then engage in a pulse-pounding short performance. Stations for assembling (and decorating) individual carton cajons await participants. Once the cajons are designed and
ready, the 30- to 45-minute facilitated interactive jam session begins. This session is filled with high-impact messaging, knowledge transfer and strategic visioning. Our facilitators are an extension of your team – internalizing corporate and team goals and helping your team to be better aligned and more unified as a whole. The carton cajons make fantastic donation to schools/communities in need. We will take care of that for you.

What we did with Dropbox –

In this harmony-rhythm interactive session, participants play boomwhackers (tuned percussion tubes). The boomwhackers cover the pentatonic scale, letting players hear their individual voices contributing to a greater, organizational whole. Each color can represent core values, working principles, leadership concepts, etc., and when all are working together in harmony, the power is palpable.
