Mark Schulman Featured World-class drummer for PINK, Foreigner, Billy Idol, Beyonce', Cher & Author

Having worked and played with some of the most successful bands and artists in music history, including Pink, Foreigner, Billy Idol, Simple Minds, and Cher just to name a few, Mark truly understands the emotions, adjustments, and actions of successfully bringing a band or team of people together after a hiatus.  From the profound experience of meeting Cher for the first time at rehearsal, to recording drum tracks by himself in his own studio while collaborating remotely with musicians he couldn’t see or hear to some rough starting moments performing on the Billboard Music Awards with P!nk and the band after over two years apart, Mark brings you industry insights, performances, and engaging interactive experiences that will ignite your conference attendees to truly ROCK again! His acronym for R.O.C.K. – REIMAGINE, OPTIMIZE, CELEBRATE and KICK ASS* – reflects Mark’s ideas, backstage insights, interactive techniques, fiery energy, blistering performances, and powerful engagement, all of which produce definitive outcomes for your audience.

Key takeaways:

• Reimagine

Mark helps attendees realize collaboration with a new perspective through an emphasis on active listening, unique interactive ‘jamming’ and techniques for communicating like rockstars.

• Optimize

Mark not only demonstrates through stories and engagement how attendees can use their time together more efficiently but gives unique insights through his own experience how employees can collaborate and jam harder while working from home as well.

• Celebrate

As the audience’s ‘own personal rockstar’, Mark makes this keynote feel like a show through collaborative rhythmic processes, exciting video clips, drumming performances and celebratory activities. At the end Mark bestows the audience with their very own ‘band name’.

• Kick Ass [*May be adjusted to “Kick Off” for more conservative groups!]

Mark takes the audiences through a journey that literally raises everyone’s energy.  The show culminates with everyone jamming together.  The attendees leave with some Rock n roll swagger and methodologies that infuse greater comradery together at the conference and individually in the office or at home.

Mark’s high-energy, dynamic presentation, Hacking the Rockstar Attitude, can best be described as a Rock show disguised as a keynote. Mark uses three core principles during this kinetic and sensory-driven program – ABC: Attitude * Behavior * Consequences.  You can’t always control what happens to you – as evidenced by the global pandemic – but you can control your attitude, which drives your behavior, and your behaviors determine your consequences. Your audience will walk away with a blueprint for how to incorporate Rock & Roll philosophy, techniques, and swagger in order to overcome obstacles, drive performance, and energize their work and personal lives. Are you ready to rock?

Key takeaways: 

• Increase Individual and Team Performance

Through an invigorating, entertaining, and emotional experience, participants gain an understanding of how to immediately employ fundamental and powerful concepts that will elevate their professional and personal performance beyond what they thought possible.

• Manage Uncertainty like a Rockstar

Based on his interviews with world-class performers in all industries, Mark has synthesized the secrets to busting through fear, trepidation, and anxiety associated with any type of performance, presentation, pitch, or communication.

• Shift From “Have To” to “Get To” 

Participants learn how a shift in attitude and perspective can have a tremendous impact on the outcomes for their work and personal lives.

• The Rockers Collective is your own private Rock & Roll dream team. When these all-star musicians come together, a special musical alchemy is created, and the event becomes a “happening” rather than a performance. Add in our special ‘jam with the band’ component and multi-media backdrop and you have a supercharged and riveting show that your friends and colleagues will not soon forget. If one of our core Rockers is on tour (hey, when SPRINGSTEEN or P!NK call, we roll!), Rockers Collective has a variety of featured vocalists and instrumentalists from well-known acts who rotate into our lineups. There are a few options within the option that are priced on a case by case basis: 1) you can add a Guest Star such as Kelly Hanson, the current lead singer of Foreigner at an additional cost or 2) you add a “jam with the band” option that adds an interactive experience for designated attendees or 3) you can book Rockers Collective to support the Rock Band Adjunct Program with the Rockers participating with the groups and then serving as the house band as each team performs their songs. The band will have a travel buyout in most instances. 

• Experience the ‘Harnessing the Rhythm of Teams’ Keynote (above), with the addition of individualized ‘rock band’ breakout group sessions. Mark coaches each small group through entertaining and thought-provoking exercises; you’ll rewrite lyrics to famous songs and each ‘band’ will perform with their lyrics displayed for others to enjoy and support. Your team will learn to break through barriers that have held them back from reaching their true potential. Focus: Performance, Communication, Team Building, Peak Performance, Leadership, Entertainment. (2 Hours, Half Day and Full Day – awaiting pricing from Mark)

• If you’re in a leadership role, you better be ready to rock! Mark will jam onstage with C-Suite members following his keynote either on the presentation stage or as part of the evening party.  Imagine getting the chance to rock out to your favorite P!NK, Foreigner, or Billy Idol songs on stage with Mark! Your organization might have to create a new position: Chief Rockstar Officer. (Awaiting pricing from Mark)
