From Skeptic to Smiling: How Our Team Building Drumming Wins Over Even the Most Resistant Teams
/Let’s be honest — not everyone loves the idea of team building.
We’ve all been there: awkward icebreakers, trust falls that fall flat, and activities that feel more like corporate box-ticking than genuine connection. So it’s no surprise that some team members — often the most valuable, honest ones — show up to events with arms crossed and eyes rolling.
At Drumming Team Building, we welcome the skeptics. In fact, we design for them. Because we’ve seen what happens when even the most resistant person starts to feel the rhythm, let go, and join the group beat.
“I Hate Team Building…” — And That’s Okay
Some people carry years of “bad team building” baggage. Maybe they’ve been forced into cringeworthy workshops. Maybe they simply don’t like to perform or “put themselves out there” in group settings.
That’s exactly why our approach is different. We don’t force anything. We facilitate a natural shift — from tension to laughter, from awkwardness to flow, from “no thanks” to “when can we do that again?”
Why Our Drumming Workshops Work (Even for the Doubters)
🥁 Decades of Experience
We’re not new to this. We’ve facilitated thousands of sessions across every kind of business — from global powerhouses to boutique creative teams. We’ve seen it all: the folded arms, the "I’ll just watch," the awkward half-smiles. And every time, with patience and precision, we guide people through.
We know it works — and it always does.
Even the most stubborn team member? They’ll crack a grin. They’ll tap a foot. They’ll join in.
It’s not “if” — it’s “when.”
🎪 Built on Real Engagement — Not Just Entertainment
Our facilitators come from rich backgrounds in live performance, movement training, and public speaking, but we’re not here to put on a show — we’re here to draw your team in.
Some of our team members — including our founder Richard Enion (when available) — have trained with Cirque du Soleil coaches, and we continue to develop through practices like presentation training, meditation, internal work, and energetic facilitation.
This deep foundation means we don’t just lead exercises — we read the room, build trust, and help people feel safe enough to actually enjoy themselves.
🧘♂️ Grounded in Personal Growth and Inner Work
Our work is fuelled by our own journey. We train in what we teach — from meditation and emotional awareness to dynamic movement and presenting with presence. This gives us the tools to create experiences that go beyond just "team bonding" and actually shift team energy, mindset, and connection.
We believe you can only guide others as far as you’ve gone yourself.
We’ve done the work — and we’re still doing it.
🌍 We’ve Worked With Everyone
From global law firms and NHS departments to local charities, design studios, and leadership offsites — we’ve facilitated thousands of people. Our approach flexes to suit:
High-performance corporate execs
Creative thinkers and quiet introverts
Hybrid teams reuniting after remote work
Teams in transition, burnout, or low morale
Everyone finds their rhythm. And often, the ones who resist the most walk away the most moved.
For the Skeptics: We See You
And we’re not here to change you — we’re here to include you. Our drumming sessions don’t require performance. They require presence. You can participate at your own pace. We don’t single people out, and we don’t force “fun.”
We just create the space.
You do the rest — in your own time.
And it always works.
Want to See for Yourself?
We’d love to show your team what true team building can feel like — with no awkward gimmicks, no forced bonding, and no stress.
It’s time to create an experience where everyone is integral to the whole.
