School of ROCK
- The kids are alright
We took a bunch of 10 year olds to help them learn their maths and literacy strategies for exams using rock music. In just one hour they wrote 3 rock classics designed to help them integrate their learning in an unforgettable way. The Headmistress reported that the event contributed to their success in excelling at their exams and we were asked to repeat it. It was also covered on TV by BBC Breakfast News.

School’s Out
- Teachers learn to ROCK!
We were asked to provide keynote inputs to a staff development day for 300 teachers. The goal was to apply multiple intelligences in the classroom, to reach more of the kids, more of the time. In just 30 minutes the whole audience rewrote the teaching anthem ‘Another Brick in the Wall’ and performed it on stage in a school hall at 9 am in the morning, after only tea and biscuits. No need for sex, drugs, not even two pints of lager and a packet of crisps, just pure Rock’n’Roll.

We were asked to explain what teachers might learn from a greater focus on relationships, leadership and generating a classroom climate where the kids bring their minds, bodies and souls to learning.

entrepreneurship
We have delivered engaging events to several universities and business institutes about our involvement in an innovative project to fly English eccentric cult punk rocker John Otway and his cult following round the World on a record breaking tour to rival classic movie rockumentaries such as 'This is Spinal Tap' and 'The Blues Brothers'. Find out more about this venture by reading a Press release for one of the university events. The project has many transferable lessons for leaders, entrepreneurs, project managers and people trying to make new things happen at work. Look at the World tour page for more details of this Herculian adventure. To find out more about this unusual man, look at some of John Otway's most notorious failures.
