Where in business do you learn how to think on your feet, read your audience and provide support for your colleagues in the heat of the moment?

Leveraging my 30 years on HR at Disney and 40 years of stage and theatrical experience, I have created a workshop that builds an understanding of the foundational learning of basic improv principles and how to apply them to the workplace.

With a BA in Theatre, I have always had an interest in the business side of the arts. With that creative lens and focus on people, the skills that I learned in theatre have provided me with the ability to read others, adapt to any situation, and foster trusting relationships. Blending creativity with business acumen, I’ve honed skills on stage that I translate into application for the business world.

In this two-hour highly interactive session, participants will learn to increase their impact in the workplace by discovering the skills to improve their ability to read an audience, increase creativity, and help reduce fear and uncertainty in pivoting out of tight and uncomfortable situations. This session that can be customized for any team, group or organization wanting to enhance their teamwork and work effectively together and is most effective with teams of at least 5 people or up to hundreds.
