If you’ve landed on this page, you’re probably searching for a team building presentation. But stop, wait! I don’t think you should be looking for a team building presentation. A presentation implies a person delivering content to you, talking at you, rather than collaborating. Team building shouldn’t work that way. The Team Building Presentation You Don’t Want Have you ever had to sit through a colleague’s presentation that went sort…

Songs And Activities That Teach Team Building
While my company’s team building programs are a great catalyst for change we’re honest about something very important. A one-day team building program won’t change your corporate culture for the long run. To make a change last you need to integrate songs and activities that teach team building into your ongoing business culture. Songs And Activities Here’s a good summary of differences between facilitated team building and activities you can…
5 Ingredients For Building A Team
Unlike my mom who often keeps her recipe ingredients secret, I’m willing to share my 5 ingredients for building a team. These are certainly not the only 5, but they form a good basis for building a team in a natural way that should resonate easily with your group. Building a team with goals and objectives It may seem obvious that it’s easier to achieve your objectives when you know…
Los Angeles Team Building
We often have requests for Los Angeles team building and we have a long list of west coast clients. While we travel worldwide for our music team building programs, Southern California is definitely in our frequent rotation. Every locale has a personality that influences the programming and the particular energy we bring to our events in those areas. Los Angeles team building is loose and laid back, yet still purposeful…
5 Best Corporate Team Building Activities
A client called last week and asked me to a list of best corporate team building activities to follow up on the music team building we did for his company last year. I love repeat customers, but I also sincerely understand the desire to do something different. The most important thing for me is long term relationships and seeing my clients succeed in their goals. The Pragmatic Dreamer Many people…
The Team Builder’s Team
Phew and sigh, I’ve been busy – busy facilitating team building through song, co-presenting at the ASTD International Conference and busy planning for the next event. I’m grateful for the growth our corporate event programs have seen the past couple of years but lately I’ve been missing something. What’s been missing can be described in a word; actually a bunch of words like strategic, relaxed, creative, organizational and inspired. I…
Team Building Songs, Story and ASTD ICE
When you think of the ASTD 2012 conference, team building songs are probably not the first thing that pops into your mind. Yes, there are the more typical sessions on simulation training, multimedia learning environments etc. But dig a little deeper and you’ll notice their are offerings that relate to team building motivation and how they’re related.

Team Building and Lego
We build teams with music because music draws us in. When we’re engaged in creative activity we stop standing outside ourselves, we stop judging and second guessing who we are and what we should say. Our authentic selves surface. That’s what happens when we’re in the moment and in a creative state. I’m all about music based team building. It’s the vehicle I use to help companies tell their stories,…
Team Building Events and Fear
We’re never at our best when we’re fearful. Fear can be an upfront, overwhelming feeling or a subtle part of our everyday workplace environment. Creative people know that being afraid to fail is a stumbling block to trying new things and thus, to problem solving and innovation. Team Building Events help groups confront their hesitation to act, moving teams outside of their normal comfort zone. That zone isn’t always a…
Corporate Team Building and Team Tuning
I’ve often shied away from using the term corporate team building. Strategically, I didn’t want to have less appeal to associations and non-profits that don’t fit the typical corporate team building mold. But honestly, corporate culture is where people work together closely, often in teams, with goals and project deadlines. The working relationships require team building so workers stay happy and engaged – engaged not only as individuals but as…
I Hate Team Building
I’m a creative type and as such I’ve always been a little different. As a kid, if you told me to go right, I’d go left. If everyone was doing one thing, I always wanted to do another…off by myself like a typical creative. So I really relate to potential clients who tell me they hate their team building days. I’m not one to embrace a group activity or relish…
