Effective, scalable, customized training to take your team to the next level.
So many teams have been asked to do more with less. As a result, crucial skills are often left out of training - skills that are integral to a cohesive team; skills that actually help avoid burnout, the half and sick day costs associated with burnout, and unnecessary turnover from low engagement.
Crucial team skills often overlooked include:
Strengthening communication - written, non-verbal, real time, and digital
Growing resilience and adaptability
Listening to and respecting each other
Leadership training, at any level - everyone needs to lead
As companies navigate the ongoing challenges from the pandemic, there is a vital need for connection and a gap that widens with each passing day - Remote teams don’t get to gather at the water cooler, pass each other in the hallways and don’t have informal exchanges of ideas.
We use Applied Improv.
While Improv is commonly associated with skilled performance, even comedy, we recognize those associations as outcomes. The path to get there? It’s a system that can be taught, practiced, and refined.
These are skills, tools and a culture that are rarely used in the “real world,” but have great value. It’s a highly-refined system of observing, connecting and responding:
Listening and Engaging in the Moment
Accepting our Differences (and our situation)
Supporting Each Other
Taking Competent Risks
Letting Go of Mistakes
Taking Action in the Face of Uncertainty
We customize and scale our training to fit each client’s needs.
It might be a half day for 10 people, or it might be multiple days across multiple locations.
We work in-person and with virtual teams via Zoom. (These are the best Zoom meetings you’ve ever had - guaranteed.)
We build a plan to meet your goals, using many exercises and activities. We’re ready to change the plan at any time if the reality of the situation calls for it - our own improv skills in action!
There’s ample time built in for reflection and connection.
And it’s fun. It can be serious, but it’s always fun - even for the folks you don’t expect to have fun.
Best of all, no one has to perform and no one gets put on the spot.
