Rhythm Effect
Our Services
The foundation of our services is built around the fact that with both the mind and body active it is possible to happily absorb much more than if the intellect alone is engaged.
RHYTHM EFFECT staff partner your organisation to ensure our service delivery aligns with your needs and goals.
Services range from ten-minute sessions to half-day and multiple-day formats. These include:
- Conference Events
- Team Building/Team Development
- Leadership Development
- Creative/Innovative Thinking
- Stress Management
NOTE: While RHYTHM EFFECT utilises a combination of drums and gentle movement, our programs are not about a person's rhythmical or musical ability. Our programs focus on teamwork, leadership and the achievement of goals (while having fun).

Team Building / Team Development:
Do you feel you have great individuals but want them to be a great team? or Do you want a balanced, high-energy team?
If "Yes" to either then team development is for you!
It is all too common to feel you have the right mix of expertise and people but still feel frustrated that they are not high performing. Using the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) you can foster effectiveness and understanding within your team and form the framework for achieving high performance.
High performing teams result in market share as well as satisfied ongoing customers and clients.
The MBTI is a powerful tool used to measure and describe people's preferences for how they like to receive information, make decisions and orient their work lives. This feedback will help improve team processes and performance and facilitate improved motivation and job satisfaction.
Personalised information given to each team member focuses on ways to:
- Enhance communication
- Enhance decision-making
- Manage change effectively
- Manage conflict effectively
Team information considers:
- Leadership strengths
- Interpersonal skills
- Team building / development tips
- Management styles

Results such as:
- Market share

Creative / Innovative Thinking:
When was the last time you had a great idea?
AND when was the last time you had a great idea which you turned into tangible results for your business?
If it has been too long between drinks you need to develop your team competence in innovation and adaptability.
Too often people say: "Oh, I'm not creative" or are full of great ideas but can't make them result in tangible business outcomes. These tired thought patterns (also known as creative blocks) limit what your team and business can achieve.
RHYTHM EFFECT can turn these thought patterns around by taking your team through the five stages of the creative act, leaving participants with tools which can be applied in the workplace on a day-to-day basis to promote innovation and adaptability.
Teams with competence for innovation and adaptability:
- Seek out fresh ideas from a wide variety of sources
- Entertain original solutions to problems
- Generate new ideas
- Take fresh perspectives and risks in their thinking
- Smoothly handle multiple demands, shifting priorities, and rapid change
- Adapt their responses and tactics to fit fluid circumstances
- Are flexible in how they see events
Five stages of the creative act
- Preparation
Immerse yourself in the problem or idea. Gather a broad range of data and information. - Incubation
Information and possibilities simmer on a mental back-burner. Let the mind play: use tools such as daydreaming, free associating, brainstorming, forced association, thinking hats and mind mapping to generate & harvest ideas. - Illumination
The "Aha!" moment. - Execution
Getting the idea enacted. - Review
Monitor the business impact. Monitor market needs/drivers. Have a mind ready to innovate and adapt again.
Let's get together and be creative!
