http://UnleashYourGroove.com There is not one way to describe a leader, and there is not one way to describe leadership. Mike Veny has found an interesting and entertaining way to build leadership and new leaders. He uses drums.

Some are born with natural leadership qualities and capabilities. History is written by the victor, and that victor is a leader of some sort. It may have been military leadership, diplomatic leadership or some other intangible characteristic that drives a leader and supports the followers. Mike has his drums.

Drums are themselves a form of leadership. Drums are as old as humanity and have had their important place in history as a tool for leadership. Sometimes the drum was a communication tool. Sometimes the drum was a tool to encourage and inspire followers. Either way, there has been a drum of some machination when a leader was necessary.

Mike Veny builds leadership with his drums and drumming circles. He starts each drumming circle as a game, and he is acting as a leader. Some start immediately, some start begrudgingly. All eventually participate actively. The drum circle has various activities; all centered around leadership and leadership development.

The group begins to synergize and team build. As they do, Veny moves further away from the leadership of the drum circle, until he changes the leader. This is where most groups of people are taken well out of their comfort zone. This is also where Veny has led them – on purpose.

It is change that most people are hesitant and resistant to do. What Veny has done while the group has its drum rhythm is prepare the group for this change. More importantly, he has shown the drum circle that change and change in leadership can be a welcomed activity. In addition, the team has learned how a leader can be a facilitator before changing leaders.

Veny is available for corporate retreats, leadership building and team development.

http://www.UnleashYourGroove.com Mike Veny is professional speaker and corporate drumming event facilitator. He hosts groups of people for corporate retreats and events. What starts with reluctance often morphs into a great deal of fun and by proxy, magic happens. It all starts with a drum.

This magic is the unwinding and relaxation that comes with the drum and sharing in the beat.

Drums are the oldest of all musical instruments, and when people play them, there awakens in them a primal sense – one that enhances the positives of people and brings out their best. He has yet to be invited as a guest host and not have left the group feeling better about themselves, their work, and their relationships to one another. It is a labor of love which he enjoys greatly.

The instruments he is using are from the Toca Percussion Master Series – Djembe.

Each drum is carved from plantation-grown mahogany and fitted with a goatskin head. The drum comes packed in a backpack bag with waist belt. The belt distributes more of the weight across the hips, like a hiking backpack, and keeps you from growing fatigued while playing it. This way, drummers can move around as they play, allowing the music to feed their flow.

Mike’s corporate drumming events feature Toca Percussion instruments exclusively, and each is handcrafted and tuned by the same people who harvest the wood for each drum. The Master Series represents the highest quality and design they offer, and the deep, rich tones echo solidly through the entire instrument. These drums, like all wooden instruments, deepen their tones and sounds as the drums are played. These djembe are meant to be played and are not meant to be a decoration or knick-knack in the house.

Mike Veny works with corporations, non-profits, schools and anyone who wants to “Unleash Your Groove” and untap the magic that is corporate drumming on the Toca Percussion Djembe.

#1 Icebreaker Game – “The Money Game” – 2020 (Works Fast!)

Today you’re going to learn EXACTLY how to use The Money Game as an icebreaker for your team-building activities (step by step).

In fact, in this video, I’m going to show you a time when I used this as an icebreaker in one of my corporate team-building events.

With that, here’s a quick overview of what’s in the video:

Let’s be honest, a lot of people hate the icebreaker activities that come before a team-building event. And a lot of the reason is because the icebreaker games that are used have been overdone. So your team has played it before and they aren’t interested in doing it again.

However, many haven’t played The Money Game before. And even if they have, it’s a quick, simple, and fun activity that gets people connecting with those around them. That’s what you want. You want people to be laughing and engage in your activities. Otherwise you have simply wasted your time and theirs.

Icebreakers are important to events because they help the audience get comfortable in the setting they are in and with those around them. If the audience doesn’t know each other well, it’s a way to get them talking and remove the awkwardness of the situation. But for an icebreaker to be effective, it has to get the audience to engage, think, talk, and want to hear what’s coming next in the presentation.

Whether you are looking for icebreakers for adults or icebreakers for teens and children, this is an effective and fun team-building activity to use.

In short, this video will show you actionable ways to benefit from using The Money Game as an icebreaker in 2019.
