Your teams have the skills. The ideas. The tools. And still, sometimes, it doesn't sound right together.
What's missing, at times, is the chord. Moving beyond unison, where everyone sings the same note. Reaching the harmonious chord: each person has their own note, and it completes the others'…
So we decided to make it happen rather than explain it. We get teams singing. A cappella, no score, no experience needed, no obligation to do it well.
Every voice counts.
Why singing together
A choir doesn't let you fake it. If one voice covers the others, you hear it. If someone doesn't dare, something is missing, and the group senses it. What takes months to say in a meeting becomes perceptible within minutes.
And this isn't just a hunch. Oxford researchers have measured it: groups that sing bond markedly faster than others. When a group sings, breathing and heart rhythms fall into step. Singing sets the breath, and the breath sets the hearts. Without anyone having to decide it.
And that harmony is perceived from both sides: from within, by those singing, and from outside, by your clients and your teams, who hear not separate voices, rather a team in tune.
What we work on
LISTEN
Listening to yourself, to others and to your surroundings, all at once.
THE ROLES
Leading, supporting, holding your line, and changing role as the context changes. Sometimes you have to try every voice in a song before finding the one where you can give your best.
THE HIERARCHY
ADAPTABILITY
What we bring
Julie Chemin, professional musician, choir director for large groups and collective intelligence facilitator, makes the ensemble sound and knows what a large group can carry.
Sophie Verbaeys-Reid works with the body, the breath, the voice and presence. Fifteen years in the corporate world, then fifteen years of coaching, have sharpened her attention to what is at play in each person and in the group.
This is not a singing workshop. It is an experience of the collective, and the reflection that follows it.
How it works
The core never changes: listening, tuning in, expressing yourself through song. Three movements lived simultaneously, like an instrument you tune while playing it.
What changes entirely is the duration.
Over half a day or a day, there is a lot of singing, a lot of laughter, and the group leaves with a strong shared experience. And there is little time to look at what lies beneath it.
Over a programme, what the choir reveals becomes the material we work with: the moments when someone doesn't dare, when someone covers the others, when someone fades, when someone holds. The group observes, explores, adjusts. Each module closes with actions rooted in your reality, and the next session shows what has shifted.
That is where the most valuable things settle, and they are not built in a day. Hence our openly stated preference for a programme rather than a one-off session.
To forward to your management or your colleagues.
What you take away
Depending on the programme chosen
Listening
Listening practised in the body: to yourself, to others, and to what moves through the group before words arrive.
Roles
An awareness of the voice each person takes, of the one they could take, and the ability to change.
Shared language
A common vocabulary for what happens in the team: "we're covering each other here", "a voice is missing". Phrases that need no explanation.
Adjustment
The ability to serve the whole without disappearing: holding your line without covering, supporting without fading.
What you are probably thinking
« Nobody here can sing. »
« Some people will dig their heels in. »
Taking part is voluntary, without exception. Someone forced to sing learns nothing and weakens the group. We prepare this with you, beforehand.
« What does it actually change on Monday morning? »
