We’ve delivered 100’s of talks on how to improve performance and shift culture with improv, story and play-based learning.
Our talks are highly interactive and experiential, and we’re proud to get people laughing, chatting, moving and making powerful discoveries for themselves.
We won’t make ourselves the sage on the stage.
Talking is good: doing is better. We share simple ideas, personal stories and fun, activities that spark conversations and change.
Our favourite topics are radical co-operation, outrageous openness and putting imagination to work, and we’ll work with you to land it perfectly with your audience.
We talk about a few things but improv features highly – it’s creative practice whose time has come.
It’s not about what you do when you’ve run out of options- it’s what you do to create better options and make better choices.
It can become the go to approach for bringing the highest levels of presence, expertise and intelligence into the moment. The US Marines know this and it’s captured in their unofficial slogan: Improvise, Adapt, Overcome. In this talk we will explore how the craft of improvisation leads to better performance in the workplace and underpins the fulfilment of profound shared purpose.
We’re running out of time to address some of the major challenges on humanity’s plate.
We need a more fluid approach, in line with the generative and regenerative patterns of interaction in the natural and living world.
Surprisingly, the ability to improvise well in everyday life is one of the hidden keys to this revolution in the way we connect, influence and create. Using improv-based, fun, interactive activities as a social technology we’ll demonstrate what’s possible when you connect people, tech and nature in fluid networks. It’s a nature-based strategy for transformation.
Being fully present in the moment allows us to access the highest levels of social, emotional and creative intelligence.
It’s an ability we use to great effect in many parts of our lives: with our friends, family, pets and favourite activities.
But the stresses and pressures in the workplace mean that we don’t always show up with calm, centred presence in everyday life that means we’re ready to respond ito what’s happening with intelligence anytime, anywhere. In this talk we’ll reclaim the value of improvising in the workplace – bringing to life the principles and skills improvisers use to step boldly into the unknown.
Generative teamwork – how the best teams go beyond the norm
Humour in meetings – using laughter to connect, reframe and let go
Idea-friendly workplaces – openness, diversity and belonging
Group flow – playing at the edge of human performance
How to adapt – three simple ideas that create momentum
