Your Team is in Good Hands
Because great facilitation begins with understanding people.
Hi, I’m Jordan.
I’ve spent my career exploring one question: What helps people connect, contribute, and do their best work together?
That question has taken me through psychology, music, business leadership, education, and nearly two decades of leading groups in clinical, educational, and professional settings. At first glance, those chapters might seem unrelated. To me, they’ve always been connected.
Today, Beatwell brings those experiences together to help professional communities become more connected, more capable, and more in-rhythm.
The Beatwell Story
Beatwell began in 2009 during my master’s program in Clinical Psychology, when I was asked to research a stress-reduction approach. I’d spent my life experiencing the power of rhythm. I knew music could change how people felt. I knew communities around the world had used drumming for healing and connection for thousands of years.
What I wanted to know was whether science supported what I’d experienced. It did. Discovering the evidence behind group drumming changed the direction of my career. I traveled the country to study with leaders in the field and dedicated my graduate education to exploring the intersection of psychology, rhythm, and human connection.
Beginning with my clinical internship, rhythm became my primary therapeutic modality. Over the next decade, I facilitated more than 1,000 groups in medical settings, universities, workplaces, conferences, and private practice. No matter the setting, I kept noticing the same thing.
People rarely change because someone gives them better information. They change because they share an experience. One that helps them feel more connected to themselves, to one another, and to the work they’re here to do.
Why I Work with Professional Communities
For years, I loved bringing Beatwell into businesses. But I also knew there was a perspective I didn’t yet have. I’d never worked inside one. That changed in 2017 when I joined Ring of Honor Wrestling as Brand and Communications leader within a Fortune 500 media company.
For the first time, I experienced organizational life from the inside: leading teams, collaborating across departments, producing live events and television, navigating competing priorities, and contributing to a culture that affected people every day.
The work was a dream come true. It also strengthened my conviction that organizations perform at their best when people feel connected, valued, and trusted. That’s why this work has evolved.
Today, my work is focused on professional communities. It’s where my experience, curiosity, and enthusiasm naturally converge.
Experience & Credentials
My work brings together psychology, music, business leadership, and over two decades of facilitating group experiences. While these paths may seem unrelated, they’ve all led to the same place: helping people connect, communicate, and create together.
Mental Health
As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC), I’ve spent more than a decade integrating rhythmic music-making into clinical practice. I’ve facilitated individual and group psychotherapy, trained clinicians, presented at professional conferences, and consulted with healthcare organizations. Since 2009, I’ve led more than 1,000 group experiences designed to strengthen connection, emotional well-being, communication, and resilience.
Business Leadership
In 2017, I joined Ring of Honor Wrestling as Brand and Communications leader within a Fortune 500 media company. Working across departments, I managed teams, collaborated with executives, and helped shape the fan experience through live events, television, digital media, and marketing. One career highlight was helping to produce and lead communications for Ring of Honor’s sold-out Madison Square Garden event, an experience that reinforced my belief that culture is built one interaction at a time.
Music & Performance
I’ve been a performing musician, teaching artist, and facilitator for more than 20 years. I’ve toured nationally, released music through record labels, and shared stages with artists including Jack Antonoff, Future Islands, and The All-American Rejects. Music taught me that successful groups depend as much on listening as they do on leading, a lesson I bring into every Beatwell experience.
Speaking & Community
Whether facilitating a workshop, delivering a keynote, or hosting a podcast, my work has always centered on building community. My podcasts have reached listeners in more than 160 countries and helped introduce thousands of people to conversations about mindfulness, creativity, work, and well-being by meeting people where they already were. It’s the same philosophy I bring into every Beatwell workshop: meaningful change begins with meaningful connection.
What I’ve Come to Believe
I believe people do their best work when they feel more connected: to themselves, to one another, and to the work they’re here to do.
I believe shared experiences change people in ways information alone rarely can.
I believe meaningful work and playfulness belong together. In fact, I think we’ve accepted a lot of unnecessary boredom as the price of being professional. I don’t buy that.
I believe people can feel the difference between something that’s simply delivered and something that’s thoughtfully designed. Intention matters.
I believe the drum is just a tool. I’ve found rhythm to be one of the fastest and most effective ways to help people meaningfully connect.
Most of all, I believe investing in the humanity of your people isn’t separate from organizational success. It’s foundational to it.
Let’s Create Something Meaningful.
Every organization has its own culture, challenges, and strengths. That’s why every Beatwell experience is facilitated for the people in the room and the outcomes that matter most.
If you think Beatwell could be a good fit for your team, conference, or leadership retreat, I’d love to learn more about your people and explore what we can create together.
