Change can be difficult.

It could be the result of an M&A or perhaps you have a new leadership team. Maybe you’re wanting to shift your business paradigm. Mismanage the transition and your business will lose productivity.

One of the most significant challenges facing businesses today is how to bring your people with you through these times. Most leaders are good at communicating change rationally. But change is also emotional.

We can help you get under the skin of the issue.

Our creative solutions help teams express how they feel about change, and allow them to develop a greater understanding of how they can work together more effectively in a changing environment.

Time and again we’ve seen people embrace change, quickly and more effectively, leading to increased engagement and more productivity. We’ll help you speak both to the hearts and minds of your people, to get everyone singing from the same songsheet.

Communication is the heart of good business.

Listening to needs. Expressing opinion. Voicing solutions. Communication is complex and subtle. And as many leaders will well know, the success of your business can depend as much on the nuance of non-verbal communication as much as it does on clear verbal communication.

We find that in the complexity and nuance of music, there’s a lot of crossover with business.

By creating and performing music together with your teams, we’ll help you take the communication skills of a successful string quartet or a sell-out rock band and transfer them to your teams.

You’re under the pressure of expectation to perform.

The spotlight is on you to empower a large group of exceptionally talented, emotional individuals. You have to lead them in working together as a single, multi-disciplinary, high performing team. Right here. Right now.

How would you do it?

For an orchestral conductor, this is a daily task. We’ll show you and your leaders how conductors lead musicians to play at their very highest capability under pressure. By taking musical leadership as a model for business leadership, and creating role-play scenarios where you are expected to lead and inspire a high performing team, we’ll explore with you how to you can get the highest standards of performance from your teams, and exceed the expectations of your clients.

Teamwork is essential to business success.

Without collaboration in music, you get a cacophony. Without co-operation in business, you get chaos. We know that teamwork doesn’t always come naturally or easily, but we have fun, motivational, rewarding and memorable solutions that will build relationships in your teams.

We’ll help your teams achieve the impossible together.

Keeping your specific business objectives in mind, we’ll get even the least musical of your people writing and performing music with their colleagues. We offer bespoke musical experiences that will stretch your teams and help them learn the vital skills of working effectively together.

The nuance is as important as the note.

Without emotion, music is flat and dull. Many successful organizations have realized that without emotional intelligence, their business is weaker. Strengthening the emotional quotient in your people will help them to lead co-operative and collaborative teams.

Music opens up emotions in a non-threatening and accessible way.

Taking your business objectives, we’ll connect to the heart of the issues you and your people face. Using music we’ll facilitate how emotional intelligence can help to move your organization forward.
