Team Song
This innovation initially came to life when…
A good client asked for a unique team-building program that would enhance the team’s ability to think creatively, collaborate towards a result that created a legacy, embedded the team’s purpose and values and led to a deep level of understanding between team members. I combined my corporate team-building experience with my songwriting and recording capability and designed the team song experience.
WHAT & HOW
The purpose of this innovation is to…
Purpose
- Establish a deep level of understanding among team members.
- Enhance Collaboration and Creative Thinking
- Leave a Legacy
- Embed Purpose/Vision/Values
Solves lack of Team Trust and Direction Outcomes — Increased Team Empowerment, Effectiveness, Creative Ideation and Collaboration.
It does this by…
- Lyric Writing processes based on Deep Understanding techniques that allow the team members to reveal their identities, hopes and fears in safe and inspiring environment.
- Inspiring and coaching all the team members to sing in public or sing better which is a personal breakthrough for many.
- Singing together produces Oxytocin — the hormone of bonding.
PURPOSE & BENEFITS
This innovation improves on what came before because…
Many team-building activities lack true relevance and feel like ‘forced fun’. This leads to team-building fatigue and lack of transferable workplace behaviours. True ‘fun’ occurs when creativity is taking place and TS has that in spades. Team purpose and values are often espoused but not remembered; team song embeds them through using multiple intelligences. The Song is the team’s legacy.
Its various benefits to the customer/end-user include…
- Highly Creative Solutions
- Successful Implementation of the solutions through Inspirational Collaboration
- Effective Conversations and Commitments
- Reduced defensiveness and increased trust and openness
- Increased sense of purpose
- Increased profits through effective and innovative solutions and implementation
COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

A variety of team-building initiatives that tended to be not as effective, because:
- The goal of the program often had little personal or business relevance to the participants (“build a rocket”; why?)

- Adventure activities — can work well
