People in a circle learn improv for a corporate environment.

Improvisation utilizes the same skills that the most successful employees and employers embrace in a professional environment. Successful improvisers must learn to work together in a group to build something creative together. In a world where we’re so often used to hearing “no,” improv is based on a foundation of “Yes!”

Frequently Asked Questions

What is corporate improv training and how can it help my team?

Imagine a world where your employees can think on their feet, communicate effectively, and laugh together while doing it! Corporate improv training involves using the art of improvisation to enhance communication skills, boost teamwork, and develop soft skills in a light-hearted yet impactful way. So, if your team is tired of the same old training workshops, consider this high-energy approach to learning!

Can you explain what happens in an improv workshop?

Of course we can! In an improv workshop, participants dive into a world of spontaneity, laughter, and, dare we say, magic! Expect a series of fun and engaging improv games designed to break down barriers, ignite creativity, and foster effective communication. Think of it as a rollercoaster ride for your brain, where everyone gets to share their thoughts freely! The best part? You leave with newfound skills that will help build a more cohesive corporate team.

How does improv training differ from traditional corporate training?

While traditional corporate training often involves PowerPoint slides and dry lectures, improv training is all about experiential learning. It puts participants in real-time situations that require quick thinking and adaptability. Instead of memorizing facts, your team will be engaging in authentic interactions, honing their presentation skills and sharpening their communication skills in a way that feels natural and enjoyable.

Is improv for business suitable for all types of companies?

Absolutely! Whether you’re a tech startup, a law firm, or a circus (okay, maybe not a circus), improv for business has something to offer everyone. It’s all about enhancing your team’s ability to adapt and communicate. Plus, let’s face it, everyone can benefit from a little laughter at work. So, bring your sense of humor and your open mind, and let’s get to work!

What kind of outcomes can I expect from corporate improv training workshops?

While we can’t guarantee you’ll all become professional comedians, we do promise to get your team outside its comfort zone in a safe, fun environment facilitated by a professional teacher who will cater the workshop to your group’s specific needs.
