not your typical corporate consultants.

other (well-meaning) consultants:

✖ Talk "at" you instead of getting to the emotional roots of the underlying tensions crippling your productivity

✖ Facilitate fun challenges more reminiscent of summer camp shenanigans instead of enacting lasting, positive change

✖ Lead a good “talk”... but don’t give you the tools to put it into action after the training

our signature ImprovEQ method:

✔ Our programs are experiential, we quickly create a psychologically safe space to explore and understand team dynamics

✔ We focus on learning through playing games. Even when it feels like adult recess, it is purposeful learning based on brain science

✔ We expertly facilitate sessions to elicit actionable takeaways that are specific to each manager or team

why improv + emotional intelligence (EQ)?

Improv-based training games are a powerful tool for leaders to increase their emotional intelligence and develop better communication skills.

improvisation

Improv is a theatrical art-form where the characters, scenes, and dialogue are made up on the spot without pre-planning. Good improvisation is achieved by being in the moment, conquering fears and self-doubt, and working collaboratively in an accepting and supportive team environment.

These same skills are critical in our professional lives and pivotal in developing better leaders, highly functioning teams, and a workplace where creativity and innovation thrive.

Improv is actually a super fun and interactive way to gain some valuable soft-skills for business. Google, Southwest Airlines, Facebook, and FedEx are a few of the companies utilizing improv to train their staff. Even MBA programs across the country have incorporated improv into their teaching programs.

emotional intelligence

Often referred to as emotional quotient or EQ, emotional intelligence is one's ability to recognize emotions in oneself and others, manage emotional reactions, empathize, and communicate effectively.

Put simply, emotional intelligence is the way that you combine your thinking with your feelings in order to make quality decisions and build authentic relationships. Each team member's EQ is foundational to the functionality and success of the team as a whole.
