  • Corporate Manager

    • Jul 2022 - Dec 2022

    The tools of improvisation don’t just exist for stage performers: they are equally essential in business contexts. The dynamic business environment requires leaders to observe what is happening in the moment, adapt on a dime, and create with whatever is at hand—precisely the same skills used by professional performers. Some of the workshops we've run have taught companies and groups:Listening skillsPublic speakingPresentation agility Adaptive storytelling Effective collaborationand Custom Built Scenario-Based Training to help groups work through challenging or common workplace moments before they have to apply them in the real world. We bring with us 40 years of experience making people laugh, the top instructors in Toronto, and the feel good of supporting a non-profit charity (and workshops can get you a tax receipt to boot!)We also do custom performances, so if you're looking towards holiday season entertainment, we've got you covered!I'd love to chat with you about what's on the horizon and see if we can create some fun and memorable experiences together!
