Special for 2021:
How to People Again
A special program for 2021, as we get back to interacting with people in person, in large groups or small interactions. We know the last year and a half has been difficult, and many people wonder how to interact with people in person again. Let us help take the awkward out of your first get-togethers back together - applied improv concepts and experiential learning mixed with gamification creates a program perfect for the opening event of first-conferences-back or your first all-hands meeting or orientation back from the quarantine.
Train the Trainer
Want to empower your internal training staff to develop experiential, gamified programming that continues to imbue your workplace with additional joy and learning? We have a couple of programs that can help with that! Available both in-person for your staff and occasionally available for individual registration as a workshop, we offer:
-
Train the Trainer: Applied Improv
-
Train the Trainer: The Big Process Board Game
Staff Development
Looking for some internal staff development options? We can help with a variety of things, from orienting new managers to their new roles and responsibilities, to team building, networking skills, and public speaking.
One of our programs is Applied Comedy, which is an intensive 1-2 day program, depending on your needs, utilizing and imparting the skills learned from improv and stand-up comedy using experiential learning, teamwork, and laughter! Attendees will learn how to decrease fear to become more confident communicators and more comfortable and creative in their jobs.
Or, maybe, you have a topic that you need training on for your team and don't know how to tackle it? We can help with that too! We utilize engaging programming that attendees will remember and utilize later to cover all kinds of topics. Contact us today to let us know what's on your mind, and we will work with you to determine how we can best help.
Leadership Development
Providing unique leadership development programs that are engaging, interactive, and memorable, these programs help clarify and develop individual and team leadership skills.
Programs are available in 3-session, full-day, and short half-day programs depending on your needs and goals.
View From The Inside
A whole team program, View From the Inside provides a snapshot of where your teammates are right now in regards to their work, communication, and interpersonal preferences and strengths in an interactive, engaging, and fun program. This program gives leadership and management the opportunity to get the pulse on the team from the inside, right now, and starts discussions about where internal growth opportunities might need development, while staff learn about themselves and their teammates, together.
Consulting Services
One program or one meeting may not feel enough -- maybe your company or organization needs some help figuring out what it needs?
We can help with that, too.
We will: come in, look at your processes and procedures, and talk to your team members, managers, and leadership.
Depending on your needs, we can assist then with streamlining processes, design and deliver specialized programming, and help come up with a plan to make your workplace a happier place to be from top to bottom. Or, if you'd like, we can simply provide a written summary of what we see.
Facilitation
Bringing the team / board / group together to discuss and make decisions on complex things?
