NYC Meet Up #19 - Improv for Well-being
As L&D leaders we need to care for ourselves in order to help others grow. The best way to do that is through lightness and laughter.
Improv comedy is about seeking truth in the moment, not about being funny (though that can be a delightful outcome). In this playful workshop you’ll explore improv’s core principles to reduce stress, foster joyful connections, and lead with bravery.
Participants will:
Leverage movement to break out of the analytical mind
Create something out of nothing with others
Deepen self-awareness through presencing and reflection exercises
Follow the fear…find the fun.
