Starting with just 4 kids in our first workshop, our kids’, family & outreach programs soon grew to an annual number of between 40 000  – 60 000 participants a year. We were not expecting that level of success so fast, but we were not surprised.

We built structure around key parts of our child education methods while leaving other key parts more free flowing. We continued to tweak & experiment with ways to best deliver the learning of science, communication & life skills to kids in the 4 – 16 year range. Fortunately, kids are far more receptive to trying new ways of learning. We named this style of teaching & learning we developed the Chaos & Mayhem Learning Style.

The natural next step for us was to infuse our Chaos & Mayhem Learning Style into our executive education programs & workshops. We decided to make even the driest of adult education topics fun & whacky, or simply not offer the workshop any more.

But we decided that we could not ignore the results we were seeing in real learning in the tens of thousands of kids for whom we ran half day, full day & custom developed corporate outreach programs. Maybe we got lucky – it  was a sound decision.

We then re-built each executive program from the ground up, using our Chaos & Mayhem Learning Style model. And every new workshop since then has been built using it. Like any outstanding way of doing something, the Chaos & Mayhem Learning Style evolves all the time. Sometimes daily. And always for the betterment of our clients.

And so, here we are now. Happily blending the science of fun, the fun of learning & learning that matters. Onward!

It all fascinates us to no end – every second of every day. We feel it’s much more than just stuff that we’re into. It’s a responsibility to our clients. Some of the best companies in the world trust us to be a crucial part of their corporate & professional development journey. It’s a responsibility we feel honored to accept.

It’s one thing to develop game changing learning systems, techniques and technologies. It’s a completely different thing to implement these breakthroughs into workshops & other learning experiences. It’s this marrying of what we call The 3D’s – Discovery, Design & Delivery that sets us apart. Every single workshop is an improved version of its previous version. It’s in our DNA to always ask ‘How can we make this better?’. If something works well, we waste no time in implementing it. Unique workshops, super fun learning games, results our clients can see immediately. That’s what makes us tick.

Some of the key methods we employ in all our workshops & learning experiences (many of which we have developed completely at Soundway) include:

Learning never stops. It happens everywhere and everyone has lots to contribute. Be open, curious, determined & honest about learning & teaching.

Develop learning experiences that have an immediate & positive impact on our students. Better preparing our clients for a perpetually evolving future is a privilege to be cherished.

Appreciate that the future is a moving target, and change is it’s fuel. Look beyond the ‘now’ and continue to craft learning experiences that remain relevant & ground breaking.

Challenge participants to dig deep and break down self-limiting barriers. The bounds of human potential are limited only by our mind.

None of us can go it alone. Seek ways to work together, grow together & play together.

It matters deeply what actions each of us take daily. Consciously do only that which will make our world a better place. The power of 6 billion first steps in the right direction cannot be overstated.

Decide to nurture a naturally growth oriented mindset, and strive always to remain so. Reach out to gently invite others to venture this journey of discovery & possibilities.
