Talk description
Title:
Synesthesia, High Performing Teams, World Rhythms, and You
Short synopsis:
Why do some teams always get things done, with each member appearing calm, but collectively creating intensity? World rhythms, and teams, vary from simple to sophisticated. Sophisticated does not mean complicated, it means each contributor expends the right amount of energy at the right time to achieve powerful results. With drum set performance and your participation, we shall expand your sensory recognition of high performing teams to include rhythmic feel and visual structures.

Long synopsis (optional):
INTRODUCTION Think of the right hand as the programmers, the left hand as the scrum master, the right foot as the product owner, and the left foot as the testers. These four elements play off of each other to create situations from chaotic to optimal. LEARNING OBJECTIVES A team’s level of sophistication can be difficult to articulate. This talk supplies people with feel and a visual depiction of team performance from simple to sophisticated. As a result, folks walk away with an expanded vocabulary and fresh insights. The audience participates in the execution of various rhythms in order to “feel” them first-hand. A team whose energy is mindfully invested is able to “breathe” as a single living organism and creates a rhythm that energizes each of its members. • Expand your sensory recognition of high performing teams to include rhythmic feel and rhythmic visual structures • Recognize if your team has “space to breathe” • Appreciate the connection between high performing teams and rhythms of indigenous peoples SESSION BREAKDOWN -05-00 Play rhythms as folks enter 00-05 Getting the most from this session, self-introduction, bio, what is “synesthesia,” our tools 05-07 Audible experience, audience feedback- I perform the 5 rhythms briefly and ask the audience to determine which one “felt” the best. 07-09 Visual experience- What the rhythms “look” like and how they compare with some interesting discoveries 09-11 The “key” handout is introduced, then the assignment of team roles to each part of the drum set (and why) 11-31 For each of the 5 rhythms, we discuss what it looks like, history and application, what it sounds like, see what it feels like as the audience participates. Then the audience engages in a short processing exercise for each rhythm. 31-35 Grounding experience- I ask the audience which rhythm their current team feels like, then ask which rhythm they prefer it feel like. Then discuss one step to get there. 35-45 Q&A Noise is minimized using special plastic sticks and drum muffling THIS HAS BEEN PRESENTED PREVIOUSLY AT Global Scrum 2017 San Diego- "Synesthesia/High Performing Teams" https://youtu.be/ePt9UlV_wtw CMMI Conference 2016 Annapolis- "Synesthesia/High Performing Teams"
