Rhythmic Motivation
Immerse your employees/ team members/ leaders in an energizing program of drumming ecstasy with internationally acclaimed educator/performer Jim Donovan. This groundbreaking program is designed to help people learn more about themselves through the ancient art of group hand drumming. Participants will feel enlivened, relaxed and focused as they discover new a strategies for conscious listening, de-stressing and the value cooperative effort through rhythm.
WHAT IT IS:
A custom-designed program in which employees are given individual drums and are “taught” some basic hand-drumming techniques while encouraged to de-stress, create, play and have fun with a universal phenomenon - rhythm.
WHY IT EXISTS:
Because when you take a common object and ask everyone to actively participate in and share it, an extraordinary thing happens – people evolve from being separate, vulnerable, competitive, insecure individuals, to joining together as a cohesive whole - an entity fostering mutual respect, communication (particularly listening), honesty, equality, and imagination.
Suddenly, the twenty disparate, self-conscious sales reps have morphed into “team rhythm.” Why? Because they were required to put aside all preconceived notions, all labels, all differences and work together to create a unified whole.
And, all the while, they relaxed, laughed, communicated, and “saw” each other in a whole new light. Gee whiz – who knew that Harry in accounting could really get his groove on?
WHERE IT HAPPENS:
Virtually any space:
• Large enough to hold the group
seated in a circle in armless chairs.
• In which it is perfectly ok to be loud!
• In-doors or out, but if out, there must be an acceptable indoor alternative in case of inclement weather.
WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING:
“I would recommend this experience to others – especially the focus on listening skills and the analogies that can be drawn into the work experience – listening to your co-workers, playing a supporting role, a partnering role, an oppositional role, a baseline role, a complementary role.”
-- Kristi Yager, FED EX Ground University
The drumming experience that you did for our department retreat was fabulous! Generally, the staff doesn’t really like the retreat, and aren’t wild about the team building exercises—but this time it was a
huge success thanks to your workshop. We had a great time, and it was a hands-on way to really see (and hear!) that we function as a team.
--Marjorie Bing Stanislaw, JPOA
“It was so refreshing, invigorating, and outside of the realm of what we normally do. It really helped relieve stress, revive creativity, and illustrate the beauty of teamwork and cooperation.”
--Kristine M. Johnson,
Juvenile Probation Officer
