Building Stronger Teams Using Improvisation

Workshop

Location: The Fawcett Event Center

The popular TV show, “Who’s Line Is It Anyway” is a form of improvisation.  Did you know that the core principles of improvisation are the same core principles in efficient, effective, and productive teams?  This is an interactive, high-energy workshop that will introduce and reinforce these core principles into your team. 

The skills needed in effective improvisation are the same skills that are used in building successful teams.  Improvisation is based on the principles of: trust, respect, support, adaptation, listening, and communication.

Through trust and teamwork, businesses can achieve remarkable results. The question many managers and owners are challenged with today is how to develop and foster a team environment that leads to organizational productivity and profitability. “Building Stronger Teams by Using Improvisation,” is a high-energy and interactive workshop that will help your team learn how humor and improvisation can lead to success and ultimately a more productive and profitable business.
