Team building is not an optional activity for companies and organizations anymore. Much as change management is an ongoing and necessary philosophy these days, so is hiring the right employees, finding ways to maximize their unique talents, and figuring out how to retain them as key members of your team. Richard Branson, the founder of Virgin Records and Virgin Airlines always said… that rather than letting employees go who weren’t “working out”, he always preferred to find a better fit for their talents and personalities. Team building is really an essential piece of what should be ongoing development programs to increase the productivity and overall effectiveness of your organization.

What a fun way to start off the week! Thank you for your thoughtfulness and for leading a session at the conference that was truly unique and which engaged our creativity.

Jeff and his team gave us exercises that allowed for critical team development. One of Jeff’s most valuable assets is his ability to empower others using songwriting as a tool. Our group was so lucky to spend an afternoon with Jeff and Michael.
Jamie Amaral, Senior Director Marketing & Sales – OIA, Inc.
Jeff’s process was fast-paced, fun and educational. It was highly interactive and it most certainly brought out the creative spirit in everyone. It was unlike any other team-building exercise that I’ve encountered. I would encourage any group wanting a unique and meaningful team-building experience to work with Jeff. It is time well spent.
