Music Team Building. Teamwork at its best
Fostering courageous leadership and thriving teams
We help create courageous leaders and thriving teams. We do this by supporting your leaders and teams to tackle the big challenges organisations face in the 21st century: Constant change, stress and burnout, toxic culture, and workforce disengagement - to name just a few.
We have connected the collaborative elements of a 'jam' session, with learning opportunities to support your organisation to the courage to lead effectively in challenging times building courage and resilience and commitment to a shared purpose.
We call it ‘Leadership Jam'.
Whether you want to build a cohesive and high-functioning leadership team, or build trust and connection between your leaders and the people they lead, the Leadership Jam is designed to deliver a shared sense of purpose, effective collaboration and the resilience to tackle whatever challenges your organisation needs to tackle.
Why a Leadership Jam?
What is a Leadership Jam?
Set aside half a day at your next training or conference day for this purposeful 4hr jam experience brought to you by Dene Menzel of Brand Jam and Leadership and Organisational Development Expert, Maria Brett.
Your experience begins with a deep dive into the leadership theme that is most relevant and important to your current organisational challenges and goals.
From feedback gathered during a leadership workship on your selected leadership theme, your group then works with our music and songwriting team to translate key messages emerging from the workship into lyrics and music. The output will be a powerful anthem that is learned and performed together to create deep personal connections and a shared commitment to your purpose and goals.
We then wrap up the experience with a group planning session to explore how the learning and inspiration can be applied to tackle your challenges and move forward with clarity, purpose, energy and commitment.

Maria Brett
Managing Director, Action Advisory
Hi, I’m Maria Brett and I’m inspired by the opportunity to help leaders and teams to find and work at their growing edge, and to follow their unique growth journeys. I am optimistic about making a difference to the people I work with, and helping them increase their impact in the world.
At the age of 28, after a major life upheaval, I went in search of meaning. This took me to mediation and a 25-year exploration of mindfulness. I went on to campaign for causes close to my heart - the environment and human rights - and to work as a mental health professional and a CEO, becoming an influential leader in the non-profit sector for more than 20 years. Most recently, I was CEO of a Professional Association where I achieved substantial growth and built a purpose-driven culture based on ethics, resilience and service.
I have integrated a lifetime of learning about mindfulness, resilience and leadership, and my own personal growth journey, to design programs to help leaders and teams to grow, both personally and professionally.
Maria Brett is a leadership and organisational development expert who creates courageous leaders, thriving teams and purposeful organisations. With more than 20 years’ experience leading non-profit organisations, and a background in psychotherapy, Maria is uniquely skilled to help leaders and teams to grow, both personally and professionally.
