IMPROV IN ANY CAREER
““Because of Dan’s presentation, the team is better prepared to grow existing business, build relationships, and have better confidence when speaking with their merchants.””
Improvisational comedy is the single best preparation for your 9-5 job. Period.
It's not about being funny. For many of us, work is trial by fire and any instruction manual is long gone. By repurposing conflicts as opportunities and by building up rather than breaking down, we completely change our approach to everyday communication and problem solving.
And it will restore hair growth and make you taller.
““Engaging, entertaining and informative. Outstanding session.””
