I will be leading this month's program at the Capitol Creativity Network. If you will be around the Washington, DC area on August 13th, feel free to join us. Here is the write-up:
Improv for Leaders
Applying the Principles & Practices of Improvisational Theater in Work
Presented by Michelle James, CEO of The Center for Creative Emergence & Performer with Precipice Improv
Today's world requires leaders and entrepreneurs to work within ambiguity and uncertainty and still confidently move forward - just like improvisers. Effective leaders and improvisers both have to make spur of the moment decisions, synthesize information, incorporate new information, make others look good, innovate, make relevant connections and serve the good of the whole...often on the spot!
Improv-based learning helps people break patterns in order to respond in new ways. Improv takes us into the present moment where new possibilities open up. In this light-hearted, fun and energizing workshop, you will experience the principles and practices of improvisational theater to enhance your leadership performance by getting past the inner critic, risking in a safe space, and going from either/or to yes and thinking. No improv experience is necessary. Improvisational skills help enhance core leadership competencies such as:
> Thinking on Your feet while under pressure
> Adapting as new information and situations emerge
> Resourcefulness - using the unexpected as opportunity
> Resilience - bouncing back quickly after "failures" or dead ends
> Ours thinking - team thinking in terms of WE
When: Wednesday, August 13 ~ 7:00-9:30pm
Where: Cleveland Park Club House ~ Washington, DC
Registration: $20 at the door
