Bringing the timeless wisdom of an Indigenous culture to the Western Boardroom.
At a time when employee engagement and talent retention is at an all time low THE SOUL OF BUSINESS is a unique interactive keynote conceived and given by Doug Manuel that leads audiences to a renewed sense of vitality, purpose and passion.
Taking a deep dive into the wisdom of West African indigenous culture, and with featured excerpts from Doug Manuel’s documentary 'Beats As One', this keynote explores the positive effects that these philosophies can have in our Western boardrooms.
This immersive experience allows participants to readdress common human values, explore their personal purpose, and to tie that to the purpose of their organization.
Infused with music, rhythm and incredible imagery, through personal reflection, small group sharing, and collective music making (body percussion – and performance enhancing exercises when delivered virtually), with immediately actionable take-aways, audiences bring engagement and collaboration to life in new and dynamic ways.
