Improv@Work
I've been fortunate to work with some of the biggest tech companies in the United States over the last 17 years, providing improv based workshops for their employees. Now this often happened before it was trendy to change your name. I have worked with Google, Twitter, Facebook, Microsoft, IBM, and TikTok, along with a slew of innovative tech startups looking to improve the overall camaraderie, collaboration and communication skills of their employees.
The wonderful energy of innovation, ambition and values driven Life in Palo Alto has been a pleasure to visit and to send fantastic instructors to. It is such a pleasure in fact, that more than one of my favorite instructors asks about upcoming workshops in the city routinely. While the city is great, so is the experience of the workshops.
Sure, improv can be used for team building and it's often used to develop soft skills but many clients don't think to use it to focus on Innovation skill sets such as agility, creativity and staying in the moment. I was fortunate to work with a number of teams at Facebook over a decade ago that we're looking to develop just such skills. What is so rewarding about such workshops is not only the skill development but also the wonderful time participants (and the instructors) have in the exercises themselves.
I learned that when working with Facebook and I also learned tech professionals in particular enjoy these workshops. So I always innovation or agility workshops when I receive inquiries from Palo Alto. Especially if it is coming from a tech based company or start up.
When you're working on staying in the moment, or creativity, or innovation you get to pull out some of improv's classic exercises like ABC Bodies, Pass The Face and the Growing and Shrinking Machine. These exercises are classics because they are guaranteed to get you laughing!
Thanks to The Radical Agreement Project's large network of top-tier improv instructors we can provide fantastic improv based workshops and shows in Palo Alto and the surrounding area at your company's convenience. I think you'll find the art form matches well with the culture at your Palo Alto firm.
