Teamwork can sometimes feel like a messy jam session...

You know how it is: everyone's doing their own thing, but together it sounds like nothing.
We often see this in our percussion workshops: if we start without any agreements, it's mostly just noise. A messy jam. Not music. Unclear. Only when we make clear choices about what we play, at what tempo, and with what energy, does music emerge. 🎶
You can see that in this film about James Brown. In “Get on Up”, he explains to his band what really matters: the groove. Everyone, from trumpet to guitar, had to think like a drummer first. The rhythm was sacred. That's where the power of his music lay.
And that's how it works in companies too. Your people and teams need their own groove; a common thread that connects everything:
What do we do?
How do we do it?
And above all: why do we do it?
When everyone commits to that, noise turns into rhythm.
From separate notes to a swinging performance. Recognisable to everyone. Including your customer.
