Improv-Based Communication


IMPROV-BASED COMMUNICATION:
LEADING WITH AGILITY


DEVELOP IMPROV-BASED COMMUNICATION SKILLS TO LEAD WITH INGENUITY, EMPATHY, AND
RESILIENCE.

Today’s leaders are challenged by the speed and volatility of organizational
change. Adaptability, creativity, and the ability to connect with diverse
stakeholders are integral to meeting the demands of evolving corporate
environments.  As industries continue to navigate unprecedented change, leaders
must be able to break down silos, foster innovation, listen with empathy, and
embrace the unexpected.

Being able to process on the fly, create space for others to contribute, and
learn from failure is a key indicator of your ability to lead effectively. In
short, today’s leaders must know how to improvise. By developing improv-based
communication skills, you’ll be prepared to solve problems creatively, confront
the unexpected with greater ease, present your best self, and inspire others to
do the same.

During two and a half days of interactive sessions, you’ll engage the
fundamentals of social psychology, behavioral science, and improvisational
theatre to become a more dynamic, nimble, and compelling leader. You’ll leave
with tools you can immediately use to generate ideas, model inclusivity, and
adapt to change. Working in small groups, you’ll participate in activities that
encourage role-playing and risk-taking. And you’ll practice in a risk-free
environment where you can gain actionable feedback.
