Improve Communication While Laughing Out Loud with Your Team!
👍 For Executives Who Want to Train Creative Thinkers
📊 Improves Communication Skills and Humor
For decades, Improv schools have mastered ways to help actors and comedians think on their feet and improve communication and creativity. These same techniques also work fantastically in a boardroom and around the office.
If you’ve ever seen a Comedy Improv show or watched the TV show “Whose Line Is It Anyway?” you’ve seen just how magical this skill can be. Comedians are given ideas from the audience and, within seconds, use fantastic teamwork to create the entire skit from scratch — while the conversation is
occurring!
It isn’t magic, though. These actors train using specific communication techniques that
your team can also use. And our instructors
can teach your team these skills in as little as a couple of hours!

Customized Communication Skills Training that Builds Teamwork and Gets Your Group Laughing (at Each Other.)
Live comedy has always been a fantastic way to make people laugh. However, the communication skills involved in creating improv comedy events can also be used to increase creativity and improve brainstorming. In fact, the benefits of Improv are HUGE. If you have ever watched a comedy group do a live event, the communication and teamwork they use are almost magical. That is until you learn a few secrets to their success.
First, no single comedian can force his or her ideas on the other actors. If they do, the comedy flops. Instead, each participant takes the idea that the previous performer presented and builds on it. This same skill transfers over to the boardroom as well. When team members build on previous ideas, they create new breakthroughs. (They also create a fun and funny atmosphere around the office!)
If you’d like similar benefits for your group, Improv team building activities are perfect for you! You can give us content ideas to use during the event to make your team feel like they are having the most fun even while working.
Everyone gets to be a star and learns how to be a great supporting character. It’s a great mind-bending shared experience that brings teams together and teaches participants how to support one another with enthusiasm and joy.
