Team Building That Lasts.

If a picture is worth a thousand words, then what is the value of a medium that can simultaneously tell a story, paint a picture, touch your heart, tap your toe and get stuck in your head, forever?

I’m talking about songs of course. And what if it was your song, telling your story, painting your picture, from your point of view? What if it was your tune you were dancing to?

And what if you and your team helped create it?

Because when a team of people write a song together that captures the essence of what they do every day, a powerful transformation occurs.

That’s the idea behind ThemeShop - a guided songwriting experience for organizations and businesses to write their own theme song.

“Me, write a song? You say. “I haven’t got a creative bone in my body, and you don’t want to hear me sing, and for that matter, that goes for Dave down in accounting as well!” Read on... 

Create a Theme with your Team

• What is ThemeShop? A guided team building experience that inspires creativity, collaboration and connection.
  
• Engage and inspire your team.
• Transform your team's mutual respect, understanding and appreciation of each other.
• Help your team crystalize their understanding of how they each contribute to the big picture.
• Give your team a transformative experience of creative accomplishment that will stick with them.
• Walk away with your own theme song that can showcase your organization's core values to the world.
  

"To talk about what is really important and create a song that embodies those values... about what matters to them and their organization."

– Reg Litz, Globe and Mail online
