And now for something completely different...
Face The Music...
is a unique organizational intervention that helps forward- thinking corporations go beyond their “business blues” to refocus their energies on a compelling, collective vision of the future.
Face The Music
...frees up peoples’ time and energy by transforming complaint into commitment – enabling even the crankiest of workforces to clear the air, let go of the past, and take a quantum leap forward with renewed energy, creativity, and teamwork.
How Do We Do It?By getting our audiences to write, rehearse, and perform original songs about their biggest challenges on the job – a unique opportunity for them to address real-time concerns in a way that sparks healthy dialogue, change and commitment.
“Face the Music is the most efficient and effective teambuilding exercise I have ever experienced… It accomplishes in less than three hours what usually takes weeks.”
Charles Portwood, Aventis Pharmaceutical
Our Premise is Simple
A successful organization needs every single member of its workforce – from mail room to board room – to be fully engaged and aligned – passionate about their work, living their values, and responsible for results.
“Face the Music helps companies give voice to the need for change.”
Fast Company
By so doing, companies:
Become more profitable Get things done faster Hold onto their best people Spark untapped creativity Adapt faster to change
This leads to poor morale, low productivity. mediocrity, and lost competitive advantage
THE REALITY is, however, that most corporate citizens are not fully engaged and aligned – resulting in large amounts of their vital energy being spent on over-reacting to a variety of less-than-ideal workplace imperfections.
What people need is a simple way to go beyond the blues and focus their energies on their real work. That’s what Face the Music is all about.
“Face the Music was a huge hit... Just what the doctor ordered.”
Lue Calandra, Con Edison
Bottom Line...
Face the Music offers an entertaining, interactive process
that brings people
to the next level of
engagement – out
of their heads, out
of the box, and into
a more powerful place
of participation.
And we are not only musicians and entertainers, but experienced Organizational Effectiveness consultants as well.
“Face the Music is in tune with the needs of corporate America.”
CNN
YES, we are entertaining, but what we offer is far more than mere entertainment. Indeed, we provide our clients a continuum of services. Though it starts with entertainment that fuels people’s performance, it continues with interventions that leads to long-term culture change – at least for those forward-thinking organizations with the courage to go beyond the status quo.
“Face the Music was ideal for us. We were able to share cathartic moments, as well as release the creative genius in all of us!”
Anne Kurzenberger, Lucent

“business blues,” we facilitate a dynamic process that gets
participants – in small teams – writing, rehearsing & performing
company-specific songs.)
FTM Celebration
The blues isn’t just about “being down.” Far from it. The blues is also
about resolution. About going beyond constraints. About breakthrough.
That’s why FTM offers “celebrations” as part of its portfolio of services
– customized events that help your workforce acknowledge all the “good
stuff.”

Our fourth kind of offering helps our clients leverage a live FTM session and link it to a long-term, transformational intervention...
You See…
It’s one thing to get business people to write and sing the blues. It’s quite another thing to guide them through a process that helps ensure they’re not singing the same blues next year.
Beyond The Blues
Beyond the Blues is a customized OD intervention – short term or long term – that significantly improves communication, innovation, commitment and, ultimately, your company culture.
“Awesome, awesome, awesome!”
Kelly Mass, General Mills
“FACE THE MUSIC was an extraordinary experience! During
the course of our four-day National Sales and Marketing
conference, FTM was the throughline that kept us out of the
box, energized, entertained, and thinking deeply about many
of our challenges going forward. In addition to the sheer fun
of it all, we got many insights into the way we collaborate and
communicate as an organization – as well as great ideas
about what we can do to improve. Participants bonded, walls
came down, creativity flourished and, collectively, we took the
next step to go beyond our business blues.”
Peter Jung, SVP, Moen
