YOU SAY MORE THAN YOU THINK
How to Use “The New Body Language” to Get What You Want

• Uncovering the mysteries of body language—how people communicate their thoughts and feelings without saying a word—is a powerful first step toward mastering any business and social situation. All successful people know that the ability to detect and react to the split-second signals that skim across people’s bodies hundreds of times each day is crucial to getting what they want in life.

• That’s why we need to move beyond the vacuum of disjointed, artificial body language to an approach based on YOU—your life, your history, your habits. An approach that builds your confidence from the outside in, one that keeps expanding your potential the longer you use it. However, most of all, an approach that makes sense in your world, that applies in all situations, that feels natural and easy to use—because it is.

• You’ll have the control and be able to change the dynamics of any interaction according to your own needs and desires.

• You’ll have the secret weapon—confidence borne of intuitive body language—that all successful people share.

• During this general session, you’ll learn to strengthen interpersonal relationships, become a stronger leader, manage your nerves better, and attain ambitious new goals.

IMPROV FOR LEADERS

How to use improvisation to increase collaboration, decrease agitation, and establish yourself as a more agile and effective leader.

Like life itself, work does not follow a ready-made script. You have to think and adapt as you go. In a word: improvise. The best, most dynamic, leaders do this as a matter of course. They use improvisation skills – often the same ones used by actors and comics — to be powerful communicators, selfless listeners, acute observers and agile promoters of teamwork and collaboration. And so can you!

In this fun and engaging interactive breakout session, participants will: learn tested improvisation techniques, engage in dynamic and structured improv games, and experience the thrill of breaking thru self imposed limitations. This play focused session will transcend our reliance on knowledge and experience by getting leaders comfortable thriving in the uncertainty of the moment.  

Specifically participants will:

• Learn the concept of “Yes And” and why it’s essential for fostering teamwork, and collaboration within your team.

• Understand how leading starts with listening and by fine-tuning engaged listening skills, we create more dynamic interactions.

• Think and act fast on your feet and use Improv to develop greater mental agility and flexibility to assist in creating open and powerful communication with colleagues.
Attendees will depart with an understanding of how the concepts of improvisation can put leaders in the position to excel in any situation. By the end of the session, they will see how you can deploy improvisation to enhance creativity, gain clarity, and increase self confidence. In an ever changing work environment, a leader’s success depends on the ability to think and act fast. The ability to improvise starts with being prepared to do so.
