Details
Wish you were more comfortable speaking in public? Trying to develop leadership skills? Interested in being more present and mindful in your life? Professionals ranging from scientists to business managers are using improv workshops to develop key skills. This workshop will use improvisation techniques and games to help participants improve their listening, empathy, and honest reaction. If you don’t think of yourself as a performer and don’t intend to ever step on stage there’s something in this discipline which can help you. Come, play, and learn to say yes!
Topic Area: General
