Harnessing the Rhythm of Teams¨
 
An energetic, interactive and anecdotal presentation that gives audiences an experience of the evolution of collaboration through truly unique processes that feature rhythm, rock & roll and performance.
 
Your Customers and You Are the Band
 
Using the metaphor of music and stories of world-class performers, Mark guides his audience through entertaining interactive processes and sticky content (as only a rock & roll drummer can do) to give attendees a fresh outlook and experience of the relationship between company and customer.
 
In his songwriting performance program, Mark breaks the audience into small 'bands,' coaching everyone through rewriting lyrics to famous songs, and having each 'band' perform with their lyrics displayed for others to enjoy and support. The experience of creating something that pushes audience member's comfort zones seems to bring out the best team building, cooperation and communication qualities in everyone.  Co-workers see each other in a new light once they have shared in this type of creative and unique performance. 
 
"It's not easy to get a standing ovation from a corporate audience; Mark got two! Mark Schulman's keynote address was truly a great success and made me, the event planner look like a Rock Star!"
