Off Script: Elevating Your Leadership with Business Improv – A Virtual Workshop Series
The landscape of business is changing every single day. Growth tactics that once worked in the past have now become dinosaurs (When was the last time you closed a “whale” on the golf course, Barry?!) Strategic leaders increase revenue, retain top talent, and cultivate positive, respectful workplaces when they adopt an improvisational mindset. By doing so, they let go of control, have a playful curiosity, and are fully present. Strategic leaders also explore creative solutions in a psychologically-safe environment that allow previously-hidden opportunities to emerge – all the while making their teams feel valued and appreciated. (And no, this doesn’t mean that you’ll suddenly want to sing Kumbaya, move into a commune, and, God forbid, get rid of your smartphone that you sleep with every night, Barry!)
In this engaging, interactive six-week series, you will develop business improv skills to:
- Connect better with your clients, customers, and colleagues by building a foundation of respect, trust, and support
- Communicate with confidence and clarity by enhancing your ability to listen, focus, and adapt in the moment
- Collaborate more effectively using the “Yes, And” approach to leverage all available resources that will increase your bottom line
“This workshop was a game changer! Peter has an amazing way of bringing the power of Improv into a professional business setting that is fun, incredibly educational, and creates a positive impact, clarity, and influence in driving success both personally and professionally.”
— Roxanne Kaufman Elliot,
President & CEO, ProLaureate Ltd.
