Treat your office to much needed laughter while developing creativity, critical thinking, public speaking, listening, focus, self confidence and more. We work with corporate groups every week to develop team building, leadership, sales and service skills. Playing these games puts into the muscle memory that which 1000s of books and lectures merely discuss.
Framing the play time!
From early on we learn best from play and story. Think of Improv as Sesame Street for adults. We simply play. We have a few governing principals to focus that play.
- OUR #1 RULE: HAVE FUN but never at another’s expense.
- IMPROV #1 RULE YES AND… = PSYCHOLOGICAL SAFETY Psychological Safety is the #1 factor in team success. For a team to succeed ALL must have some agency. It’s not enough for me to value my team, as a leader, but my team needs to FEEL valued. We create a safe space for ALL to play, free of judgement, free of offensive humor etc.
- #1 SKILL IN COMEDY: LISTENING! Listening with your eyes. Listening with the willingness to change. We cannot truly support, trouble shoot, sell or serve without listening. Listening is the #1 factor in leadership.
After a brief welcome, introducing the above concepts, we form a circle and play a series of ice breakers and warm up games. In fact all we do is play games. Everything in Improv is a game, including he performance skits and songs from our professional show. The exact games played might vary per instructor, skill level of participants and/or over goal of the session. In any case, we play games that will be easy to play, but challenge participants in unique ways so as not to just seem silly.
