in real life and online

His unique ability to present ideas and shift perspectives through sonic illustration and musical co-creation activates, elevates and educates in ways that words alone cannot.
TESTIMONIALS
Jurgis is the closest thing to a musical magician and atmospheric alchemist I’ve ever encountered. He's in a league of his own with musical co-creation that brings people together on an emotional, social & conscious level. It’s true art in its purest, most joyous form and leaves you with a dopamine hit so high you wonder if you’re tripping!

The community quickie left us speechless. Jurgis enchanted us with his musical abilities and engaging communication. It’s an exceptional for an artist to not only perform but also involve the audience to become part of the musical spectacle. In today’s context of pandemic worries, his music and sense of humour was completely reviving..

No one is immune to Jurgis’s participative music; not even EU bureaucrats. High officials and famous faces spontaneously engaged in music and dance in January 2020 at the Berlyamont. It was something unique, fun and colourful. Community Culture Quickie strengthened the feeling of a shared purpose, connection and ownership at the launch of the #EuropeanGreenDeal.

Jurgis’ extraordinary energy is so contagious it transcends even digital distance! For UNFINISHED’s first online edition, he made our community vibrate all together once again by opening and closing our festival with his signature punch. His music and his words proved essential in turning our worldwide-spread participants into a unified community.

The Quickies for BFI have been immensely activating and valuable during this strange digital era. Jurgis’s mix of participative music balances the rational; it helped activate a different part of our minds and connect to one another. I highly recommend it for events, team-buildings, and generally making the world a more fun and engaging space.!

Jurgis is truly one of a kind maestro, musician, crowd-engager, inspiring empowerment coach in-disguise. I’ve spent 20 years curating exclusive events with some of the world’s leading talent, and I've never seen anyone so effortlessly capture the attention of a room and align disparate focus into a unified frequency and collective movement of joy & celebration.

Thank you for the great emotion during our company's celebration. Together with you, we enjoyed fun moments when differences between nations and languages disappear, and only joy and a sense of community remain. It was energetic, cheerful, and just so good!

Jurgis brought fun, laughter and joy to our online UPPSTART event. He has the unique gift of getting any audience to participate and engage. Within minutes he had people dancing on their chairs! The Quickie hit the perfect balance of being deep and thought provoking, but highly entertaining at the same time.

Jurgis DID is a present-day magician. His music has magnetism, this rare ability to help you feel one with the people around and tap into your inner self at the same time. His performance at our Transparency School was truly special.

Choosing Jurgis DID as our opening act for our HIMSS European Conference 2023 was one of our best decisions this year. He set the tone for an uplifting and energised event, bringing his inspirational message of community and connection to a conference focused on healthcare innovation, digital health and policy, with his attentive preparation ensuring he fulfilled beyond our expectations. He was a resounding success and brought a keynote theatre full of healthcare ministers and global health innovation leaders to their feet dancing! No doubt we will be calling on Jurgis again, as our audience have requested him to return!
HIMSS
It has been our pleasure to work with Jurgis and his team since the initial meeting. The theme of our event was introduction of new corporate behaviors and Jurgis' part perfectly blended into overall flow. Jurgis has sincerely interacted with the audience discussing about values, behaviors and sustainability through a very profound mix of science, music, business practice, life examples and common sense... and all spiced with fun, positive energy and laughter! We are already looking forwards to working with Jurgis again.

PROFESSIONAL SPEAKING
Through musical co-creation Jurgis offers an immersive and experiential approach to enlightening individuals, businesses and organisations.
Community, culture, and coherently aligned values are increasingly attributed to the success and resilience of teams and organisations.
A CREATIVE WAY TO EDUCATE ON:
values, emotional needs, and engagement
empathy and human connection
community and organisational culture
trust, openness, ownership, participation
sustainability, innovation, entrepreneurship
TOPICS:
01
COLLECTIVE VALUES
“Values 4 Value” is an entertaining mix of music, comedic story-telling, and solid academic research on how our personal and collective beliefs align coherently to unlock or hinder potential in any organisation.
02
Community Culture
"Culture" is our collective operating system. Music can teach us how to hack it. Music is an accurate metaphor for a beautifully flowing social unit. Also, it is an effective way to invoke, access and experience all the things that make it flow beautifully.
03
Engagement
"From Spectate to Participate" is a cocktail of live music, powerful ideas, and creative interaction that inverts the role of on an audience and demonstrates the dynamics and rewards of going from 'safe and passive' to 'hands-on and engaged’.
04
SHIFTING CULTURE BY PLAYING TRIBE
"Exceptional musical togetherness" is an effective way of explaining things that are better "felt" than "understood". Last summer OFI had me for fun. They had so much of it, they invited me back in the fall to educate on culture; how it is built and shifted.
05
UPGRADING HUMANITY FOR THE AGE OF AI
An experiential taste of how we have been building tribes and aggregating human technology for hundreds of thousands of years. The original internet was community; the first network was coordinated humanity. This collective super-power is not only an asset within any organization, but also a source of emotional well-being for those who are part of it.
06
TECHNOLOGY AND HUMANITY FOR CLIMATE ACTION
How to make the most of technology through community-driven enthusiasm and innovation. Many of the solutions needed to address the climate crisis require true technological ingenuity but also a strong human element; trust, creativity, connection and lots of empathy.
07
WE ALL SPEAK "HUMAN"
“Human” is not just a kind of being, it is also a language. "Human" is an empathetic code through which we invoke, transmit and receive complex emotional messages. Basic primal programming makes intimate connection possible despite verbal barriers and other cultural obstacles.
08
BUILDING TRUST
An edutaining talk on the importance of looking beyond personal beliefs in order to work together to pursue shared visions; understanding trust, and how to see beyond our differences.
09
CONNECTION
“This is Connection” is an interaction that uses music to facilitate a conversation on emotional needs, what creates a sense of togetherness and belonging and why it matters so. An experience where we learn to use the most important muscle of all – the heart.
COMMUNITY ACTIVATION
AN EFFECTIVE WAY TO UPGRADE CULTURE:
“break the ice” or strengthen connections
nudge teams to explore collective creativity
seed topics or address behaviours / issues
motivate / activate teams facing adversity
kickstart transformation, prime processes
hosting & MC
Music is a fantastic space holder that gives a sense of rhythm and harmony to any gathering; it works like vaseline and glue at the same time. Jurgis’s uncanny ability to improvise, adapt music on the fly and match moods with sound works particularly well for online meetings.
RETREATS & WORKSHOPS
For a deeper exploration at the intersection of leadership, creativity, and community. Full-day experiences designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of how we weave culture and cement cohesive social units through a mix of experiential learning, academic insight, practical applications, and transformational fun.
