Which songs will you use this year for your annual sales meeting or for your corporate pep rally?
Songs for Meetings. Last year, I blogged about a colleague who said you could never go wrong with picking a current Country Music Album title as the theme for your corporate meeting. Well, I think this year's nominees for the 40th annual CMA Awards (Country Music Association) may very well prove him wrong. Here are the nominees for best albums:
- Hillbilly Deluxe
- Me and My Gang
- Precious Memories
- The Road and the Radio
- Time Well Wasted
While a few of these might work for a specific industry (Hillbilly Deluxe for a bread company? The Road and the Radio for a satellite network? Precious Memories for a card company?), I think that corporations might want to pass on the whole country music album theme this year.
"Time Well Wasted" -- it doesn't sound too terribly uplifting or motivational.
However, the 2006 CMS nominees for best singles have some definite possibilities as inspirational songs for meetings. Here are the 2006 nominees:
- Believe
- Better Life
- Jesus Take the Wheel
- Summertime
- When I Get Where I'm Going
Now that's more like it! Believe, Better Life, and When I Get Where I'm Going have definite possibilities.
Caveat: I am not a big country music fan, so I have no idea if the lyrics or tunes are even remotely appropriate. I'm definitely judging theses song by title alone!
