Testimonial from Director of Campus Ministry, Notre Dame High School - "I cannot express the deep gratitude I have for you and all your wonderful drum people. They were the consummate professionals and delivered an excellent program. Today, it was amazing to hear the diverse members of staff and faculty approach myself and the other members of Ministry gush over the drum experienced. They commented on how they would never forget that experience and how life changing it was. You were so gracious to work with us to deliver a message that was coherent and inspiring. Thank you, thank you, thank you!" http://ow.ly/8GJ4y

A Drum Cafe session is a powerful way to open or close conferences.To revitalize & re-focus participants between presentations or before speeches or awards. http://ow.ly/8GFnv - At the beginning of a conference, people are coming from different areas within an organization and sometimes from different parts of the world. The Drum Cafe corporate team building and entertainment facilitators get these gatherings off to a great start, by creating an energy which in turn creates a bonding and a breaking down of barriers.

At the end of a conference, it is important for the attendees to leave with memorable impressions, a sense of accomplishment and a sense of having had a good time. Having the Drum Cafe close your conference, fulfills these objectives and allows people to leave with memorable impressions of a sense of bonding and a great time.

In the middle of the day. During the course of any conference there comes a point, where attendees' energy levels drop off. Nothing like a Drum Cafe “pick em up” in the middle of the conference to get delegates back on track.

Happy New Year! May 2012 be a turn-around year for everyone!

I’m thankful for many things in my life; and I’m especially thankful for the work that I get to do and the people that I connect with. The events that I facilitate and the clients that I meet are forever amazing and energizing to me. I facilitated an incredible conference event for BP at the end of the year that I’d like to share with you.

BP is one of the world’s leading oil and gas companies; employing 80,000 people across the globe. Exploration and Production employs about 18000 people and is active in 29 countries. So many “tribes” came together as one BP community at the conference; it was a definite challenge to unite such a diverse and geographically dispersed group. But I’m excited to say that Drum Cafe’s powerful keynote interactive program helped them marshal their resources, energy, skills and passion as one percussive team so they could truly push the boundaries today, toward creating tomorrow’s breakthroughs.

I was able to talk at length with one of the “jazzed” attendees Shahid Javed, Chief Procurement Officer, BP-North America Gas. He shared his perspective on how the experience affected him and his peers. Here is a short excerpt …

“…the transformation is the fact that we are different teams, we have to work together, you can work together and create harmony. This was the message that people took back to their teams and to their desks. That's kind of being open minded on how they approached their work, approached their problems, how to collaborate more with their peers. It's that kind of transformation that I saw happening. … there were elements of leadership in that session where I could take back and say, ‘You know what? Even in my world and my role as a leader, how do I lead this varied different teams and sets of groups so they harmonize and work together?’”

My favorite program that we do is the keynote interactive. It has all the power of the interactive drumming and—through collaboration with very talented visionaries in the organization—I completely customize the keynote portion to the company’s objectives. I get to delve really deep into the business culture and tap into the true pulse of the company and its people. It really jazzes me! So, when someone like Shahid says “…pretty much every person said it exceeded what they expected from the session,” I do that celebratory-shimmy-dance in my own head (and sometimes across the room). Yes!!!

In Joy and Rhythm,

Natalie Spiro
