ACTIVITY: Get a Meeting Off to a Jump Start

Instead of booking post-meeting entertainment, Marvelless Mark incorporates fun into the meetings themselves. His new program Jump Start consists of simple movement, chanting, or singing, and an exercise he calls "Rhythms in Business," where each participant receives two drumsticks to tap along to a set beat. Sessions cost $2,000 to $5,000 and run from five to 15 minutes, leaving attendees energized and alert for the scheduled speaker. Jump Start can be customized to include company slogans or sales concepts; the drumsticks can be customized with the company logo and used throughout conference sessions in place of applause. —Celeste Fraser Delgado
