Long recognized for its power to enhance creativity, improvisation is increasingly acknowledged for its other off-stage attributes, including its ability to help change one’s mindset. In this fun, interactive, and engaging workshop we will explore the gifts of improvisation, discover what it means to have an improvisational mindset, learn tools and techniques to cultivate it, and experience how that mindset can be applied to life, work, and play.
Indeed, it is often the smallest mindset shifts that can bring the biggest results. Join us to explore how teeny transformations, applied to the everyday, can have profound changes and lasting results. You will leave with a tiny toolkit of everyday improv practices to help your hopes, dreams, and wishes for 2018 come alive. Unleash your improv superpowers.

Let Jeanne know!
All ages welcome
In 2012, Jeanne left her lucrative career in academia and heritage conservation to pursue an equally lucrative one in training, storytelling, performance, improvisation, and writing. She has told stories, produced, emceed, and done improv in all sorts of places, some sanctioned, some not. In 2014, while living in Hong Kong, she made it official and established a small company, Lamb Ink. She has since performed, presented, facilitated, and conducted workshops and trainings in North America, Europe, and Asia. Ms. Lambin's workshops have been described as "amazing," "powerful," and "great fun." A common thread through all her work has been the desire to connect individuals, groups, and organizations to people, causes, and things that they care about and give them the tools that they need to take meaningful action and inspire change. She is Vice President of the Applied Improvisation Network, a founding member of Improv for Humanity, and Instigator-in-Chief of The Quest: Improv for Transformation. She recently relocated back to Chicago.
