"If it ain't broke, don't fix it... right?" Here's the problem with that:
Time Breaks Everything. Everything. Therefore you need a new mindset... for change, for innovation, for creativity.
For seeing the opportunities that others miss.
You need the "What IF...?" mindset.
In What IF?, Mike will go beyond six or even 12 strings. Recognized as a world class guitarist, Mike will debut his rare, 20-string “Harp Guitar.
What if we could, how would we? Every major innovation, achievement and unlikely victory in human history began with a bold “What IF?” question… which is exactly what we’re going to do! In this interactive and completely customizable presentation we will use the question what if to learn creativity (especially for those who think they’re “not creative), innovation, change and radical problem-solving.
You and your teams will learn the simple tools, practices and principles used by the greatest creative minds of all time to innovate, to create change, and to solve even the toughest of problems.
Through interactive exercises and hands on application you and your teams will learn and actually practice the “Creative Mindstorm, “Creative Brainstorm” simultaneously tapping into their creative genius, and applying it to desire outcomes… which is the foundational essence of innovation.
You will learn practical ways to move from a posture of managing change to one of creating and leading change.

Rock the Team… is an exhilarating, music-themed team-building exercise designed to ignite collaboration, creativity, and cohesion within corporate teams. This immersive experience combines the power of music with dynamic group activities. It is flexible and customizable based on a pre-event call with Mr. Rayburn to incorporate your theme, areas of focus and desired outcomes. Based on your preferences participants will work in pairs or small groups to do any one of the following co-creative activities:
Write and perform a song… based on a specific theme or topic relative to your organization. They will choose a style of music and will perform the song for the group. This can be an original song or a parody of an existing song (as Rayburn does in his presentations).
Write a commercial jingle for a given a product or cause which they will perform for the group and the end. Again, they can parody a jingle they know, or write an original.
Build a Human Orchestra: Assign different musical instruments or vocal parts to each team member. Instruct them to create a harmonious piece of music by imitating the sounds of their assigned instruments or vocals using only their voices and bodies. This exercise encourages teamwork, coordination, and active listening.
As a professional songwriter and guitarist Mr. Rayburn will coordinate, facilitate, instruct and encourage each team as necessary to guide them in a fun, musical, and often hilarious experience!
At the end, we will come together as a group to share observations and takeaways.
Rock the Team fosters a supportive and energetic environment, encouraging participants to harmonize their strengths, communicate effectively, and work toward a common goal, resulting in enhanced teamwork, active listening, adaptability, and trust.
