!mprov at work has expanded!

We have a new training and facilitation called Being in the Moment - Mind Tools for Self Management It is possible to become more responsive and less reactive, and focus attention on constructive action and not inadvertently turn situations or people into “a problem”. Being in the Moment applies very old thinking, for new times. It’s an easy, learn-able way to save time and energy by being more ‘present’, more responsive and more in control. Imagine what that’d help anyone do better!

Ever wonder how an improv or film team gets their act together quickly under pressure? Does your team work under deadlines? Is collaboration key to your success? What about creativity and collaboration?

Develop specific actions and move your team to higher levels of performance. Do more of what is working and less of what is not. We’ll help you figure that out and provide a lively and engaging forum that changes your team from the inside out.

Our team building programs are customized to fit your time frame, budget and level of challenge. On the fun side of team building, our experience and creativity honed in the performing arts provides a lively and unique approach to team building. On the more serious side of team work, we use a wide range of current knowledge, best practices and direct action based facilitated approaches to help your team do ‘better team work’.

Your team is unique and we understand that.

So what does ‘better team work’ mean to you?

• Be focused on solutions
• Involve the whole team
• Demonstrate Leadership
• Focus more on action and next steps, less on theory
• Give clarity to goals
• Get to the root of the solutions faster
• Customized: your Team, your Goals, your Actions

The new marketing messages has to be as “beneficial to the consumer as the product or service being marketed: it has to ‘dazzle their senses, touch their hearts, and stimulate their minds’.”

Creating positive and engaging learning experiences means thinking differently and using methods that enable collaboration, creativity and specific results.



!mprov at work collaborates directly with people to uncover the solutions that are likely to work for them instead of using overly complicated or merely academic models or theories. Solutions and learning is incredibly dynamic for our students and is based on the actual contexts that they are in.

This lively and engaging forum changes your team from the inside out.

Turn your group into a high performing team

• Do you have a trust issue in your team?
• Are you avoiding conflict?
• Do you wonder ‘who is accountable for what’?
• Could your team perform better and have more fun?

An improvisational based workshop

• Are you comfortable and poised in front of groups?
• Do you suffer from fear when presenting?
• Would you like to be more ‘light on your feet’?

Some of the Organizations we work with:

We as coaches and facilitators of are charged with getting the teams we are working with to where they want to go. How do you get teams to open up and get to the challenging task of remaking themselves into the team they wanted to be?

There is the situation, like the ‘economy’, and then there is what you tell yourself about it. As far as your own resilience, creativity and ability to find solutions is concerned, it is the stories that you tell yourself that helps or hinders you, not the situation itself.

One of the key skills an improviser uses, on or off stage is their awareness of their own thinking. They know how to be in-the-moment. This being in the moment is not a ‘just follow every thought at random’ state of being, it is a state of complete and total alertness.

After a team workshop I recently delivered, the manager of the team said to me "those we're really good action steps, but I don't thing anyone will do them". I was stunned. We spent a whole day figuring out what they could do to achieve the goals they set out for themselves (not my goals, but their goals - this was pure facilitation) and they won't do them?

Taking an improv course or having professionals come directly to your company builds confidence. The people I know who have taken improvisational theatre or comedy courses have a new found confidence in front of others. They don't take mistakes that seriously and have found the ability to move on sooner.

A client of !mprov at work's wants to emphasize the point that internal customers are just as important as the end customer. Consider how someone's output is always someone else's input. The work that you get came from someone else in your organization, or perhaps from a group or team that your organization is partnering with. You are the internal customer for this person or group. You transform that work, add value to it and it (your output) becomes someone else's input. This someone else is your internal customer.

Let’s talk a little about change. Don’t make a big deal out of change. It’s happening all the time anyway. Most of the business of change is attitudinal. First, give yourself permission to adapt. So you didn’t do it right. So what? You learn your lessons and you move on. See change as important but not serious. Don’t make change into a personal issue or problem. If you can do something about something than do that. If you cannot do something now, don’t make it into a problem.
