Description

Where in our education or work experience do we learn how to think on our feet, read our audience, and provide support for our colleagues in the heat of the moment?  In this two-hour highly interactive session, participants will learn how to increase their impact in the workplace by learning the rules of Improv and how to apply them in the business world.  This workshop is for anyone who wants to improve their ability to read an audience, increase creativity, and help reduce fear and uncertainty in pivoting out of tight and uncomfortable situations.

Participants will learn:

• A deeper understanding of the ‘soft’ skills needed in the workplace
• Skills to read an audience & adjust to meet the needs of that audience
• Tactics to feel more comfortable in ambiguous situations
• To articulate the role we each play in interacting with an audience
