The Ultimate Music Team Building Guide
I’ve been doing this for a long time. Since 2008, my team and I have walked into more conference rooms, ballrooms, and video calls than I can count, and led people who swore they weren’t creative through the process of writing, performing, and recording real songs together. Somewhere along the way, I’ve learned a few things about what actually works when you’re trying to bring a group of people together,…

The Best Team Building Quiz Tools

Best Team Building Activities For Sales Teams
Let’s be honest. Your sales team is probably the most competitive, high-energy, and sometimes caffeine-depleted group in your entire organization. They live for the win, the “closed-won” notification, and the thrill of the chase. But that high-stakes environment comes with a side effect. It can lead to burnout and a “lone wolf” mentality that can actually hinder your long-term growth. When most leaders think of team building for sales teams,…
How to Do Team Building Without Anyone Knowing You’re Doing Team Building
Let’s be real for a second: team building is the thing everybody loves to hate. Even though I’m a professional facilitator, I totally get it. The phrase often conjures images of forced laughter and awkward icebreakers that make people want to run for the exit. It either intimidates, alienates, or bores people. But here’s the secret: a work group that acquires shared trust will perform better, so working on those…
Why Try Team Building Through Song?
Each of us can sing the lyrics to dozens of songs, but on any given day we can’t remember where we left our car keys! Songs have lasting impact that stay with us.

Organizations ranging from Salesforce, Apple, Pfizer and Unilever plus many non-profits and associations come to us when they want that special event; that certain something that brings a group to the next level.
- You don’t have to be a singer – In fact, our clients tell us they’re amazed by the high level of buy-in and engagement we get. We don’t pull you in – we draw you in; through conversation, by being real and by creating an accessible experience that’s so far from scary it’s quite comfortable.
- From 5 to 5,000 participants – We’ve found a way to bring our musical programs to groups of all sizes. During the past decade clients have engaged with us to create multiple variations of our programs that fit different needs. A small group music video day – we’ve done that. A large conference songwriting extravaganza in Las Vegas – we’ve done that too. With music team as our foundation, we’re masters of variation.

- Memorable experience with powerful take-aways – Create the soundtrack to your corporate life as you craft original songs that communicate the best of who you are and what you do.
This Is Music, This Is Fun
Team building activities aren’t always fun. In fact, sometimes they’re downright awful. And yet here you are, trying to find something real, accessible and fun for your entire organization. Our programs work for several reasons.
- We’re really good at this – Our team is not only talented and entertaining, we’re adept at leading groups from point A to Z seamlessly. We won’t embarrass you or put you on the spot. In fact, we begin with conversation that’s comfortable and relevant as we move from lyric brainstorm to songwriting and performance. By the time your songs are complete, everyone will be singing along and proud of it.
- Relatable – Music really is a universal language. Even if you can’t carry a tune, songs are an important part of your life and of your colleague’s lives. We help you tap into your universal language to communicate, build relationships and have some genuine fun.
- We’re Not Faking It – We’ve created music for artists ranging from Keith Urban, Blake Shelton, Stevie Wonder, Faith Hill, Kesha, Kelly Clarkson and more. But honestly, we’re just as engaged when we’re writing songs with you. That’s because the creative process is always immediate. We’re co-creating with you and your team as we move from blank canvases to your finished masterpieces. We have to be in it and on our toes because we never know just what’s going to happen during the creative process. We do know that together we’ll all make beautiful music.
