Programs

HACKING THE ROCKSTAR ATTITUDE

The rockstar attitude can be summed up in five words: There are no small moments. Every detail is critical. Everything you do matters. The world’s greatest pop and rock artists share that attitude – something drummer MARK SCHULMAN learned first-hand after years of touring with acts like Cher, P!NK, Foreigner, Simple Minds, Stevie Nicks, and Billy Idol. Great performers in business are called rockstars, but true rockstars can teach the business world a lot about leadership, teamwork, resilience, engagement, and performing at the highest levels. Mark’s ultra high-energy presentation is where music, video, audience interaction, and the secrets of rockstar performance collide. He inspires audiences to hack the rockstar attitude to discover the joy and success that comes when they’re fully engaged – on purpose. It’s as simple as ABC: Attitude.Behavior.Consequences. Mark shows how creating that attitude shift – and viewing what you’re doing everyday as a performance – will literally change your life.

Mark tailors his talk to meet every group’s individual needs. Sample takeaways:

World class performance by rockstars is no accident; learn and apply their secrets.
Techniques to immediately shift your attitude to achieve better outcomes.
Bring rock ‘n’ roll confidence into your work and life.
A simple pre-show exercise rockstars use to amp up performance and engagement.

SONGWRITING WORKSHOP

It’s your turn…are you ready to ROCK? Mark breaks people into random groups and gives each group a package. The package contains lyrics to one of four famous songs. The goal is for each group to re-write the lyrics to the song they’ve been given, drawing on work and life experiences and incorporating as much humor and irony as they can muster. Each group then takes the stage to perform their creation, with the new lyrics on the big screen for all the other groups to see! The goal is to have as much fun as possible and learn something about teamwork, collaboration, innovation, creativity, and leadership in the process.

“The transformation is always astounding. You break into groups often times with people that you don’t know. The experience of creating something together pushes your comfort zone and brings out your best team-building, cooperation and communication skills. When you get to perform the song that YOU have created, it’s cathartic, joyful and you get to experience overwhelming support from an audience of your peers. This program is always a favorite. You will never see your associates the same way. You all literally become Rock Stars! You are creating a new sense of warmth and comradery that sticks- it’s indelible!”

Mark Schulman Reviews

“I’m the one that went out on a limb…and brought the idea of him speaking to my team. They watched the video but they still weren’t totally sold. I needed to vouch, and what I said is, ‘Trust me, this will be unbelievable.’

And then they said, “…but the problem is it’s going to be at 4:30 in the afternoon. Can this guy pull it off?!”

Well, he didn’t just pull it off, he blew them out of their seats! And the craziest part was there was a line of over 50 people who took some of the most fantastic pictures with Mark behind the drum set. You don’t do that unless the speaker has made a difference in your life.”

— ALLEGO

“It’s not easy to get a standing ovation from a corporate audience; Mark got two! Mark Schulman’s keynote address was truly a great success and made me, the event planner, look like a Rock Star!”

— Marketing Events Manager, Infor Global Solutions

Thanks for all of the effort you put into our presentation and the time you spent with us. I LOVE your energy!”

— Microsoft

“You were incredible and high energy with some great take–aways and reminders about business practices. It’s true that we get out of it, what we put into it. I remembered Attitude, Behavior, Consequence! Probably my favorite moment was the reminder that you might be performing on stage every night, we might be delivering some of the same sentiments to our customers every day, but for that concert goer and for our customers it may their first time, so it is so important for us to deliver
a great first impression!”

— Wyndham

“You were fantastic and really rocked the audience. You brought the rockstar attitude to us. It was inspiring with such a focus on attitude which really made a difference for us.”
