Feel the Rhythm and Not the Blues
When you're in your groove and feeling groovy, life is good. But then "life happens," and what are you going to do? You can
either get stuck in the blues, or manage your own morale and get back in your groove again. Through songs, stories and a
review of some skills to help you be more congruent and resilient, you'll have fun finding ways to deal with the blues and
create more harmony and rhythm in your own life, and in your relationships with others.

Communication is the one thing we do every day. We communicate at home with family and friends, and we communicate

to help make us better communicators, and, a better team.
