Your day will never go the way that you planned, so let’s learn to think on our feet in a highly effective, interactive and fun way, through improvisation!

The number one rule in improvisation is to actively listen in the moment, say “Yes!” to our teammate’s ideas and then take it one step further and build upon that idea with them. In everyday conversations, and especially while engaged in conflict or collaboration we are often thinking about what we are going to say next, rather than listening to what our teammate is bringing to the table. Even when we do listen, if the idea or situation is uncomfortable, we immediately say, “No!” and reason why it won’t work. This not only decreases our effectiveness; we also end up missing out on potentially innovative ideas.

In this interactive workshop, we will use these principles to experiment with strategies that can be used in your everyday life for dealing with the unexpected in a positive, creative and collaborative way.

Expect to walk away with:
-Ways to deal with the unexpected in a positive, collaborative and creative way.
-Enhanced active listening skills.
-How to communicate and collaborate in a more productive way, by learning to say “yes” to, or at least listen to and more seriously consider, uncomfortable and possibly innovative ideas.
