The One World Music Team

One World Music – a few of our talented facilitators and performers

In critical times, music has the power to inspire and unite us.  It can lift us above issues that make us competitors and teach us to collaborate.  It can make us aware that we are capable of so much more together than we are alone.  And it can immerse us in something that is often lacking in troubled economic times:  Fun!

At One World Music, we think there should be room for fun, at work as in the rest of our lives, as a balm against a troubled economy.  We have begun this blog to share One World Music news and our experiences spreading the message that music is a great tool for learning and a source of joy, in business as in life.

Transformation at McKesson and New OWM Video

What happens when you give 100 highly-skeptical IT leaders percussion instruments and ask them to make music?  You may think the answer is cacophony — and you would be wrong.  To see and hear the amazing results, visit the new and improved One World Music Web site and check out our new six-minute video.  Go to the OWM Home page and click View Video.

Here’s what a recent client had to say about the value of engaging our Synergy Through Samba program for his management team.

“We were able to see parallels between the way we work, the way we plan, the way we manage, the way we lead, and most importantly, how we need to work together.”
