REGISTER: How to Build Trust in a Distrustful World with Frances Frei and Anne Morriss on April 4. Learn More!
What do great teams have in common with Duke Ellington and Miles Davis? They have all mastered the art of unlearning, perform and experiment simultaneously, and take turns soloing and supporting each other.
In this Teamraderie experience, jazz pianist and professor, Frank Barrett, takes your team on a musical journey to “unlearn” and “say yes” in order to develop a culture of improvisation and innovation. First, he will guide your team through an improvisation activity to co-create a song together. Through nerves and stumbles, you will realize the art that comes from error. In the second activity, you will deconstruct a session with Miles Davis to learn the proactive competence approach that lead to his highest selling jazz album. Lastly, you will discuss concepts from “Yes to the Mess: Surprising Leadership Lessons from Jazz” and how to offer each other support and take turns as leaders just as jazz players do.
Take a leap and discover how your team can turn noise into music together.
