Corporate Workshops

Benefits to your Organisation

Gets your team out of their comfort zone, strengthening their roles within the group, this allows them to reveal themselves and unifies the group. Although not scientifically proven, drumming seems to stimulate creative problem solving, as well.

Here are some examples of the many benefits of group drumming through corporate workshops:

• Group drumming includes everybody and by not being competitive, inspires a sense of connection.
• Strengthens roles within your group, your values, and visions, and goals can be realised and reached.
• Brings people together physically, emotionally, and mentally relaxing and energising the group with the flow of energy.
• Motivational as it gets your team out of our comfort zone.
• Involves learning a new skill recognising and validating individual contributions.
• Elevates cognitive functions enabling more productive creative problem-solving techniques.
• Breaks down social barriers, promotes freedom of expression through non-verbal communication, unity and cooperation.
• Drumming together helps enhance your capacity to listen and through communication, collaboration and effort helps develop relationships quickly.
