The song “I’m an Open Road” by Canada’s Paul Brandt illustrates our unique approach to learning. It was created in front of 40 Sound Collaboration Group students in one of our In Studio Experience training sessions at Nashville’s famed Ocean Way Recording Studio. Students watched the collaboration of the studio team as the song came together. The group then participated in a targeted debrief addressing the teamwork skills they witnessed and how their observations applied to their circumstances.
WE’RE RELENTLESS LEARNERS
We dive deep into the science and literature surrounding relationships, collaboration, communication, and teamwork. We have invested thousands of hours reading, studying, and attending educational forums that address the behavioral processes and cognitive states that affect how people collaborate with one another. Please click here for a partial list of the literature, studies and resources that have contributed to our learning curriculum.
We supplement traditional learning by interviewing a broad spectrum of successful people on our Insight with Gordon Mote Podcast. On Insight, Gordon chats with a variety of individuals, including authors, musicians, astronauts, and business leaders. He digs in to how they collaborate with others to make big things happen.
We have combined our unique backgrounds with studious research and have designed training experiences that will equip you with valuable behavioral insights and tools to enhance your collaboration skills and relationships.
