"When the rhythm of your future changes, you need to find a better beat!" - Futurist Jim Carroll
Two unique minds. One unique mission. The unlikeliest of partnerships!
The story of the FutureBeat.Team is the inspiration for today's Daily Inspiration! I'm a corporate futurist guy outside of Toronto, Canada, with insight into the trends that define the future. Tom is the rockstar-drummer corporate team builder guy (ex of the 80s band Scritti Politti), based in London, England, with the proven skill of getting boring corporate events out of their boredom and into the energy.
As with so many millions around the world, Tom I met during Covid. I was busy building a virtual broadcast studio to support his keynote speaking activities online; Tom was busy doing the same thing in his home in the UK in order to provide virtual team-building programs. By happenstance, we found each other through an online support group for their virtual studio software. We bonded and found that we shared a similar mindset of opportunity, hope, and growth.
I wrote Tom's story into an entire chapter of my book, "Now What? Reinvention and the Role of Optimism in Finding Your Next Future." Then, when I had a keynote in London last fall, we got together and met in person, and in our conversations, kicked around a few ideas that led to this initiative. Visit the FutureBeat.Team Web site where we describe what we're up to.
The two of us could not be more different, and yet, perhaps so alike.

We spell out what our initiative - a prepackaged, ready to go half day event suitable for corporate offsite meetings - in the introduction to our initiative:
THE RHYTHM OF YOUR FUTURE IS GETTING FASTER.
IS YOUR TEAM READY TO DANCE TO IT?
Why not join the FutureBeat Team?
Join a select handful of organizations that have immersed themselves in, and even enjoyed, a unique half-day future-oriented team-building session with Global Futurist Jim Carroll and ex-Scritti Politti drummer and team-building expert Tom Morley.
These two individuals, working with their interlocking rhythms, power teams forward by aligning them with their inevitably faster future.
They create one 'master beat', so you are ready for what comes next. You leave with a new confidence in group creativity and a team of spontaneity.
And the next section tells our story:
Since they met, it has been the goal of Futurist Jim Carroll and Rock Star Activator Tom Morley to change the way organizations and teams realize the opportunities of tomorrow.
They will inspire your team to align to the realities of tomorrow, today! They will help you to establish your new beat for a faster future through a customized, unique, half-day leadership workshop like none other!
In essence, two unique minds with one unique mission.
A UNIQUE HALF-DAY WORKSHOP
AN UNFORGETTABLE FUTURE-TEAM RHYTHM
Future trends. Creativity. Innovation. Team building.
It all comes together in a powerful, information-rich session that will leave your team inspired, excited, and aligned to a new future with unparalleled opportunity
What we are offering up is something quite unique:
...with a full half-day agenda already prepared:
YOUR HALF DAY AGENDA
An interactive half-day program, with the following structure:
We always kick off with a high-energy, high-impact, fun, and motivational 'energy opener' with Tom.
We capture that energy with a highly customized, industry-specific trends keynote from globally recognized Futurist Jim Carroll.
It's followed by a pre-break 'energy burner' team-builder with Tom - guaranteed to get people up-out-of-their-seats, excited, and eager to move to the next steps!
Get moving! Post-break, we launch into a powerful motivational keynote from Tom on the 'rhythm of building a team.'
Keeping the rhythm going, we hit you with an interactive workshop with Jim and Tom, which will let you explore the barriers in the way of being 'future fit,' the attitudes that can hold you back, and the pathways that can move you forward.
It's a powerful 1/2 day session that will equip you with a new view of the future, an outline of the team rhythm you did not know you have, and an action plan to exercise your newfound beat!
with one key goal in mind:
TWO UNIQUE STYLES
ONE COMMON VISION
TO GIVE YOU THE GIFT OF YOUR FUTURE RHYTHM
And that, in a nutshell, is how you get to one of the unlikeliest potential partnerships ever launched.
The two of us could not be more different, and yet, perhaps so alike.
We both think that bringing together our unique skills - my view into the future, and his proven ability to bring some team-building energy into corporate events, make this a wonderful potential opportunity to bring some life into all those boring corporate off-site events and meetings that you go to.
Simply, bring some rhythm to your future by helping you find a better beat!
Futurist Jim Carroll has no musical talent whatsoever but did run the high-school radio station in his teens. He does recognize the potential for the unique collaborative thinking that drives artistry.
