Leadership Experience
The Learning Environment and Location
The Challenge
Does this sound familiar? You sense some new potential of collaboration at the table, however, office routines, agendas or deadlines get in between. You need to instantly respond without having a best practice or approved plan. At moments as these, the challenge is to activate a mindset of improvisation by tuning into the ‘here & now’. Letting trust and intuition guide you to re-invent or co-create solutions on the spot or develop autonomous teams. We welcome you to a jump start together with us.

During the session, you will:
- Learn to deeply and intuitively listen while being in a conversation
- Experience the value of letting go your pre-set ambitions in co-creation

What Makes this Experience Different
We create a safe holding space for professionals and managers. You will feel free and valued to share your own unique contribution and co-shape the experience. We’ve blended our best practice experience from the world of business (change communications), professional jazz music and art education. Using practical techniques, theory based insights and interactive work methods. So you can discover and activate your unique potential to stay resilient in a world that changes in an ever-fasting pace.
How We Run the Experience
Preferably we run the programme on an offsite location. Creative spaces in a city or location in nature environments will work best with the live music experience. But a large hotel conference room would also work. The room or space should be not too ‘low’ for acoustic reasons. A (grand-) piano is required. At your request we can arrange a rented piano throughout our network. Also we need audio equipment for the jam session experience. We provide a list with technical specs. In addition we need a number of round tables to run the dialogue sessions. We appreciate standard facilities like a flip chart, beamer, screen, papers and wifi.
