FACE THE MUSIC: Back on the Road After a Two Year COVID Hiatus

Face The Music is happy to announce that, since the arrival of Spring, we have been fully up and running -- providing in-person (and hybrid) programs after a two-year, COVID-induced virtual-only existence.

Like millions of people around the world and most of our clients, we have weathered the storm and are ready to work our magic in a world turned upside down.

Savvy business leaders, doing their best to adapt to the "new normal", are currently looking for innovative, effective and efficient ways to help their organizations find their mojo once again. That's what Face the Music is all about.

We help individuals, teams, and entire organizations turn the possibilities of the moment into the reality of tomorrow. We help them bond in new ways. We help people synergize thinking AND feeling and, by so doing, unleash the kind of positive energy that leads to increased creativity, commitment, and collaboration.

And it's all done in a fun, user-friendly way -- what our clients call "refreshing", "revitalizing", and "renewing."

Emails and memos from the CEO won't suffice. Nor will articles in your company newsletter or the same ol' meetings. Something else is needed -- an engaging, enjoyable, skillfully facilitated "all hands-on-deck" gathering with the power to reboot your workforce.

Here's what our clients say.

Founded in 1999, celebrated by CNN, and serving a wide range of forward- thinking organizations in 11 different countries, FTM is taking it on the road once again.

Yes, we adapted to these crazy times and provided our clients with virtual options (and still do); but there is nothing like real people in a real room having a real experience together -- and all for the purpose of connecting in new ways to work their magic in the world.

If you are looking for a powerful way to sharpen communication, boost morale, increase teamwork, and take a fresh look at your business challenges, contact Face The Music today:

Creativity Requires Time

If you want to foster more creativity in your school, business, organization, community, or family, look for ways to give everyone more time. The difference between 10 seconds and 10 minutes can often be the difference between "same old, same old" and WOW.

In what ways can you give your students, teachers, staff, or employees more time to stretch their wings?
