Whether on stage or in the office, people love to feel good
about working together. Many of the techniques and skills that are used and
developed in improv comedy are directly applicable in the business world.
According to Harvard Business Online, “Working on improvisational techniques can
improve communication skills in four areas: listening to others, building on the
work of others, being honest with your team, and accepting the team's work.”
Take your team to new levels with my unique approach to teambuilding. Using the
principles of improv comedy, your teams will learn creative problem solving,
create group trust and communicate more effectively. Virtually every business
function - team building, design and development, sales, marketing, change
management, organizational development, or customer service - can be enhanced by
improv's compelling innovative tools and principles.
Workshops begin with an explanation of basic principles which lead to successful
comedy improvisation and how these principles relate directly to successful
business interactions. I then involve the participants in improvised games
designed to highlight key corporate values and get your employees working
together with a group mind. By working in teams, we eliminate the fear of the
individual and focus instead on harnessing the energy and excitement of the
group. All of the workshops are highly interactive, low pressure, and lots of
fun. When people are having fun, they're relaxed. When they're relaxed, they're
listening and communicating, and that's when the real teambuilding takes place.
