You’re stuck.
Meetings are a slog. Your team members are bored. Your organization struggles to try new things.
You want to break out of this pattern—to have more and better options—but you don’t know how.
Improv can help with that.
I highly recommend the Increasing Options: Improv for Organizations workshop for any unit in any organization that wants to do a team building activity or a retreat. It will help staff come together as a unit, and pick up valuable skills in collaboration and creativity plus have tons of fun in the process! This is a wonderful workshop for teams that primarily work remotely and lack an opportunity to develop shared experiences in the office to create informal connections.
Did I already say that this workshop was a lot of fun – let me say this again!
The Workshop
In “Increasing Options: Improv for Organizations,” you and your team will learn how to use the principles of improv to disrupt habitual thinking, improve collaboration, and spark creativity.
Over the course of three hours, you’ll explore:
- How the applying the concept of “Yes, And” can make your coworkers happier and your conversations smoother
- How to persuade and help others by listening deeply
- How to use spontaneity and play to generate breakthrough ideas—and inject a bit of fun into your work life
By the end of the workshop, you and your team will have a firm grounding in the basics of improv, giving you the skills you need to approach old problems in new ways—and discover remarkable solutions.
Myles’ expertise as a facilitator shone through in his ability to create a playful, judgment-free environment for the session, one in which participants were welcome to snowball ideas off of each other in collaborative exercises. I appreciated how Myles explicitly connected the dots between the selected activities and the life skills the exercises strengthened, such as active listening. We hope to work with Myles and JP Improv again in the future.
