Thanks to @Jodie__Rogers for inviting me to energise this group in Paris. What a lively and inspiring team, their readiness to ‘walk the talk’ meant we could go along way on our rhythmic adventure. And thanks to Waqar Siraj for introducing us all those ye…https://t.co/KljOFUbUR3

90% of the time I'm a surprise.

From corporate conferences to family celebrations this is what I see when I arrive.

Consequently I've developed a warm-up sequence that gets people on board in 5 minutes.

Phew!

'Storytelling' has been a buzz word for a while now. Waaaay back storytellers were valued because, if you'd never seen a palace, they could say "Think of a golden house as tall as the tree on the edge of the village", and we would say, "Whaaaat? Impossib…https://t.co/Og4aQCcNDi

Two teenage girls are taking over the drum circle with a dance they worked out in the break. They’re inspiring everyone to play better, naturally wanting to support them at this family party.
“Have they grown up together?” I’m asking the host, “They seem…https://t.co/Bx4c4Rl2xM

Sweet rhythm.
Sweet deep, dark rhythm.

For example, Robbie Williams' song 'Strong'.
I think maybe I'm the bridge between the verse and the chorus.
What do I mean by that?
The verse is our daily life, it's the description of what we're doing. The chorus is where we want to go but we can't just…https://t.co/ukiQyWH6GN

Every street has a beat. Every team has a rhythm. Find it, define it and sustain it. That's what working together is all about.

I didn't have time to jazz up the list of mics I needed for Ibiza so I did a quick drawing on the back of a VAT letter in my office and sent my client a phone picture while waiting for the cab.
She LOVED it and proudly showed it to me on arrival, printed…https://t.co/CmuJsN6lhc

I understand the Ibiza beat a bit more now. Tension and release. I mean, I know it in theory but it becomes very clear here on site. It’s almost a religion.
However, when we need to gather people fast around the DJ booth to start the singing my DJ pal Ni…https://t.co/LlWROfka5g

“It’s my very close veins”.
That’s what my Mum would say after a day waitressing at the Whitecliffs Cafe on Saltdean seafront. She was explaining why she had her feet raised high when she got home from a shift. ‘Varicose’ veins is what she was saying, but…https://t.co/dEneu9Z6Mg

What's the definition of a drummer?
Someone who hangs around with musicians.
But look, this is a way of 'brainstorming' where your organisation might be going. Fascinating stuff and a great way of starting 'brand' conversations.

I've built tree houses in the woods and I've played drums on the beach. So I thought I'd bring the two together, along with my fascination with personal and tribal branding. The opportunities to play with my own brand, and the adventures you can have with…https://t.co/yxaEfONFfy

Anyone involved in brand innovation should check this out. A.I. just read my mind. I gave it some clues as to what I was thinking then it quite gleefully took over my design project while I sat back and watched. I don't say "gleefully" lightly either. The…https://t.co/M6gjUm8hHC

In the 1980s drum machines put me out of business. That is, until I learned how to programme them. That led me to programming keyboards and eventually writing my own songs, so actually they did me a favour. A.I. is going to do something similar for us all…https://t.co/xmTrpuTjRs

I've been thinking about how to structure a book.
1) Building trust. 2) Maintaining trust. 3) Losing trust. 4) Regaining trust.
I built a lot of trust bringing teams together with drums, and that was quite easy to maintain until AI came along. Being a vis…https://t.co/GeJkY9a9yt
