Mike Rayburn
Mike Rayburn’s personal, business and career mission is simple: Transform communities. Whether that community is a business audience, an association, enrollees in his “What If…?” keynote experience, impoverished people world wide, or the lost in his hometown of Las Vegas, Mike’s daily efforts and life work are dedicated to transforming communities.
Mike does this most often with his “What If…?” keynote presentations and breakouts, where he uses world-class guitar and hilarious comedy to teach the three simple, powerful tools which took him from playing empty bars, to headlining Carnegie Hall (eight times!). They work for anyone. And everyone. Always.
When organizations need innovation and peak performance, where do they go? Usually it’s to business leaders, authors, or famous sports figures. Rarely do they go to artists! Yet for artists, creativity, innovation and peak performance are their life blood! Being a mega-successful artist, as well as a savvy entrepreneur…
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.
1. 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).
2. 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.
3. 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.
