2022.05.19_May Change Summit - Change Leadership... Improv Your Way to Success!

Description

I know what you’re thinking  . . . I’ve heard about those improv comedy shows but I’m not a comedian and have no desire to perform on stage. So why would I go to a session to learn about improv techniques? 

Well, here’s a little secret . . . improv comedy performers aren’t born with the skills needed to succeed in unscripted situations that demand innovative responses on the fly. They learn and practice techniques that make them appear naturally spontaneous and engaging. The good news is that with practice many of those same improv techniques can also be employed in the business world to improve performance and enable change. 

Join us to learn how to enhance communications, collaboration, creativity, and confidence in your change leadership. Come on, have some fun and improv your way to success! 

What you’ll take away:

• How to enhance communication
  
  
• How to enhance collaboration
  
  
• How to enhance creativity
  
  
• How to enhance your confidence as a change leader
