Sample of 2-6 Hour Educational Programs:

Improve through Improv

Life is not scripted, it's improv. This workshop focuses on teaching staff or students the elements of improv: Listen, Accept, Trust and Create Participants are given multiple opportunities to practice those principles. Direct applications to k-12 curriculum are strongly reinforced. Because of the spontaneity of improv, surprising and very funny things happen as participants explore their creativity and learn to trust their first impulse. Participants leave with a fistful of classroom activities, lower blood pressure and a rejuvenated attitude toward education which translates into a more cohesive and productive staff or student group.

Leadership through Laughter.

Quality leaders listen to themselves and others... accept themselves and others... and trust themselves and others. This workshop provides useable activities to identify and foster leadership skills in staff or students while laughing 'til milk shoots out your nose.

KNOWyourLEDGE

You're standing on a steep ledge not knowing what will happen next. That ledge may be a new program, a change in a process you knew by heart or any request from a principal or teacher that scares the living bee gee bees out of you. You can't change the steepness of the metaphoric ledge but you can change your perception of it. This workshop gives staff or students the tools to literally laugh in the face of the challenge of change.
