Our High Performance workshops provide consulting services in improvisational learning and team development, working with executives, managers and human resource practitioners to enhance programs for their employee and organizational performance. We've collaborated with management to help re-organize teams; merge organizations and companies; brainstorm projects; enhance trainings; and participate in on- and off-site corporate events. Our activities break the ice, assess needs, and build energy for new and established groups.
- We help motivate people at work by making them feel capable, able to make quick decisions, recover from their mistakes, and prepare for the unexpected.
- We help employees accept and build upon each other's ideas, so they feel a part of their team, more creative, collaborative and experience less conflict.
- We help teams listen and observe, check for understanding and articulate their intentions, so that they can harvest more ideas, increase their understanding of each other and communicate more effectively.
- We help people relax in front of people, deal with power and status, project their voice and physical expression.
- And last but never least, we have fun and share humor, oftentimes seeing co-workers in a different light by discovering hidden talents and metaphors for working together.
