Corporate Team Building Events and Activities

“Music does bring people together. It allows us to experience the same emotions.

People everywhere are the same in heart and spirit.”

Every day across the globe, companies look for new ways to motivate and inspire their employees. They turn to various team-building experts who seek out programs from the extreme, to the extremely mundane. However, most of these programs or exercises generally seem to fall short or lack any long-term effects for the company; the employees tend to return to their lackluster or jaded state of mind and performance in just a few days. Various cultures have been known to bring their tribes together for communal drumming before any important decisions can be made.

If you want to give your employees a long-lasting jolt, it is time to introduce new and unique methods to their team building experience. For many years, companies large and small have been turning and returning to the Drum Café as their primary source of motivational inspiration. Our high-energy events and hands-on approach to bringing the spirit of togetherness to life turns the ordinary into the extraordinary.

When individuals or teams leave our events they are fueled and energized, not just for that moment, but also for the weeks and months ahead. Managers often call us many weeks or months later, excited that the energy of their Drum Café experience still lingers among their staff members. It is always moving to hear, firsthand, how Drum Café has created increased productivity, and a greater return on investment for such a wide variety of companies.

The Drum Cafe brings people together and brings out the best in them!

In a time when countries around the world are dealing with varying economic crises, all types of companies that are determined to survive this worldwide recession are looking for new ways to motivate and inspire their staff. If you hope to be among them, come shake things up a bit with Drum Café! In the face of cutbacks and layoffs in a struggling corporate climate, it is more important than ever to rally the troops to achieve more with less.

Corporate team building experts, motivational speakers, and training specialists are commonly called upon to provide the necessary inspiration to corporate staff with low morale and diminished motivation. There are various programs available; request a proposal today to see how Drum Café’s corporate drumming can inspire your team.

Ultimately, the goal of Drum Café is to help your team break down organizational barriers to align to a common vision while building a strong sense of togetherness. The long-term effects of the Drum Café approach mean that your team will not only feel reinvigorated immediately after the corporate event, but will have also internalized the inspirational message and will continue their successes long into the future.

The backbone of the Drum Café experience is communal drumming. This universal dialogue transcends spoken word, and removes the set biases and connotations of words entirely. Your team undergoes the process of creating music together, which is ultimately a highly moving and unifying event. Imagine the feeling you may have had at a rock concert with thousands of people singing in unison; some even getting goose bumps. The principles behind communal drumming are the same. Creating music together is a tried and true method of bringing people together, and Drum Café seeks to show your team exactly what they can achieve when they align to a common goal.

Drum Café offers a well-rounded lineup of business meetings, keynote presentations, breakout sessions and more in order to provide your company and team members with a new outlook. The corporate drumming is not only about making music. Successful interactive drumming requires members of your team to learn drumming individually and also to listen to each other to achieve greater levels of harmony.

The fact is that Drum Café has proven itself to be a world leader in team building and energizing organizational spirit. We take the universal dialogue of music and use it to encourage appreciation of diversity. Not just across cultures, but also diversity of contributions to a team, business, or organization. The beat of the drum helps employees internalize the mission of the organization as a whole.

Over the last 10 years, Drum Café has worked with over half of the Fortune 500 and an impressive portion of the world’s top companies. Drumming unites, uplifts, and inspires, and will help your company’s individuals to understand the importance of their team.

The Drum Café approach transcends culture, gender, and ideology to motivate and inspire. Individuals are known to work much better together when they have similar goals, mutual respect, loyalty and personal relationships. The unity of staff members reignites their determination and enhances their loyalty to a common goal. The positive energy created at Drum Café West events breaks through the professional barrier and ultimately manifests itself as success for your company.
