Many organizations today have turned to workplace innovation programs in the conviction that creativity is one key to competitive survival. And organizations know their ability to innovate lies in the creativity and abilities of their people. The individual needs to understand and adopt internal thinking processes that increase the potential for new thinking. Organizations have to do the same. The workshop will offer a powerful and transformational team leadership development experience in which self-limiting beliefs are removed and participants will find a new paradigm for ideas, potential and possibility.
Research clearly shows the need to engage the right side of the brain to unlock our creative thought processes. The key to unlock this right side function, that is easiest to access, is music. This is why music in its various forms is so popular with people of all backgrounds. Whatever the role, function, department or level music is a universal language and leveller. Its power to generate open mindedness and creative thoughts is immense. Everyone can make a vital contribution to the energy within the organization by feeling free to express themselves.
In this workshop we use a variety of non-threatening, yet highly engaging processes to bring people together and build trust through the power of music. This leads to generating of new streams of thoughts and ideas for business development. Importantly the group engagement factor lifts immeasurably through the shared experiences. By engaging the creative right side of the brain with the logical left side, we bring a powerful whole-of-mind engagement process to all participants. This is then leveraged to create a shared vision and ownership of the goals of the organisation.
This is a brilliant team building activity designed to heighten wellbeing, creativity and innovation, emotional expression and self awareness. We have successfully delivered this approach to groups ranging from executive teams of 10 to entire departments and companies and more than 1000 delegates at national and international conferences and special events. Industries have ranged from banking, finance and accounting to resources, retail, IT and telecommunications. The results are meaningful, magical and measurable.

"You were wonderful. You engaged with over 700 of our consultants in a powerful way and reinforced our own potential. The standing ovation was a testament to the way you moved us into a different headspace. Many people have mentioned it was the best session they have attended at a conference anywhere!" Price Waterhouse Coopers
"The program is most useful in transforming and building a stronger and more cohesive team." Visionstream/Leightons
"The speech was heartfelt and moving and you presented one of the most memorable participative workshops many of us have experienced. The ‘With One Voice’ workshop highlighted our key aims of creativity and innovation as tools for great leadership and teamwork. The workshop brought these to life and proved that working as one team aligned to one outcome can achieve amazing results." Spotlight
"Your One Voice presentation and workshop was the perfect fit for our conference which brought together over 100 of our management and leadership team. You, Shaun and the entire team at Creative Universe were the ultimate professionals in the lead up to the event, and made my job as the event organiser so much easier. At the dinner event where you presented your personal and uplifting life-story, followed by some memorable performances set the perfect tone for engaging with the crowd to demonstrate the power of an individual and then that of the group! I have received nothing but positive feedback from attendees about how invigorating the workshop was and how in a very lively and active way, we could indeed sing with one voice! The general make up of our delegates was very 'blokey' and I was fearful that they would not give 100% when they found out we were all going to be singing - but how wrong I was -I can still see them all stamping their feet and singing with gusto!" Veolia
"The choir experience was a standout session of the conference - exceptional!" Australian Positive Psychology Conference
"This workshop managed to challenge and inspire us to think beyond the usual bounds of leadership style by taking us on a journey of breath, chant and song. It affirmed for many that if allowed, creativity can and will 'create' great leaders." Committee for Melbourne Future Focus Group
