Event Overview
Whether you’re an entrepreneur, corporate leader, creative professional, sales person, or any other kind of human being, your ability to connect with others and communicate effectively is critical to your success.
Improvisation is one of the best tools for teaching the communication skills that are so important for the modern business person. These include: confidence and public speaking, moving conversations toward agreement, leadership, flexibility and resilience, change management, teamwork & collaboration, storytelling, networking, finding common ground, and much more.
In this fun and interactive workshop, you will learn the fundamental principles of improvisation and how you can apply them to create, communicate, and collaborate more effectively in your business today.
If the word "improv" makes you nervous, don't worry — improvisation actually has nothing to do with being funny, clever, or witty! Instead, it is all about listening carefully, reacting honestly, supporting the ideas of others, and leveraging the power of a group to create something fresh and unique. Show up with a desire to learn and a willingness to take a risk.
