Jazz for Life: A Path to Balance – Workshops and Keynote Addresses with Music Based on personal experience and using the piano, Tim Elliott engages an audience in the story of Creation. The first thing God created was balance – light and darkness, day and night. Often music participants are invited to engage in singing to ‘loosen’ people up in order to do some work together. Music opens doors to learning and provides a positive health related outcome people feel better, report some healthy feelings, and can breathe more freely. This one hour keynote is adaptable for organizations who are going through change and can be used with group discussion and participation to illustrate improvisation and creativity. A grand piano is required. Clarity and Courage: Vocation and Transition – Workshops and Keynote Addresses with Music Building on work with individuals, a program for people in transition is offered in a group setting. While covering the same material as in individual sessions, the group setting provides an opportunity for participants to share with the larger group. Participants report a sense of appreciation for not being alone in their own journey toward clarity and courage. These sessions can be held weekly for 3-4 weeks, or for a Friday evening and all day Saturday. Life as an Improvised Journey: Workshops and Keynote Addresses with Music Using the insights and experience of jazz, this workshop involves the addition of several professional musicians who perform and reflect with Tim at the piano on how jazz can illustrate the improvisations required in life. Work-Life Balance: Learnings from Jazz – Workshops and Keynote Addresses with Music This is a specially tailored workshop or presentation to focus on the key issues and pressures being faced by participants in the workplace and at home, and how to develop some strategies for thriving not just surviving.
