Corporate drumming

At a recent launch conference, a:live utilised the services of Mark Walker from Corporate Drumming. As with any launch, it was vital for the new team to come together with a positive energy to ensure a smooth transformation through the period of company change.

By the very nature of the activities involved, there is a team building characteristic intrinsic to all events, but Mark Walker's sessions can look at specific aspects of working in a team and help produce unity, harmony and a great team spirit.

For further details, please visit their website at www.corporatedrumming.co.uk or email Mark at mark@corporatedrumming.co.uk or call 0800 804 7178.

Big Skill: Take a Step

a:live has been commissioned to produce four promotional events that continue the good work of The Big Skill. The Big Skill – Take a Step! roadshow will bring fun and free advice in several shopping centres during January to show people how they can take a step towards learning a new skill and help to improve their lives and career prospects in 2010.

Professional dancers will be stepping out on the dance floor to entertain and display the skills they have learned which led them to a job they love. The public will then have the chance to step out on the floor to learn some simple dance moves too. If you’ve forgotten the fun and satisfaction of learning something new, then going back home with some fancy new footwork to show off is bound to remind you!
