Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: Looking for a more interactive and memorable experience for your next meeting, conference or event? ImprovTalk is unique because we combine the lessons of an improvisation trainer with the lessons of a former Major League Baseball Pitcher to teach team building, leadership and communication skills to corporations and associations in a fun and interactive way. ImprovTalk designs innovative keynotes and workshops that inject learning with energy, laughter and immediate results. You and your team or audience will EXPERIENCE new ways to… Listen at a high level (and understand why it’s hard!) Say “Yes, And” to build strong relationships Build trust in unexpected ways Collaborate and innovate improv style Use non-verbal communication more effectively Tap in to the improvisational part of the brain to build response-agility Build up your resilience muscles Find new ways to tell stories (easily!) It’s difficult to teach these skills in a classroom setting, but ImprovTalk gets everyone working together, creating a safe environment to explore new performance options. We love seeing people have fun and be engaged (they are NOT looking at their phones!), while actually learning to be better communicators, relationship builders and team players! We also love after our events when people come up to us and tell us about their "aha" moments. "I can't believe I stepped out of my comfort zone like that, and I didn't even realize it at first!" "I thought you had to be funny and witty to do this, but instead you taught me HOW to think on my feet and relax enough to let my sense of humor out."

I thoroughly enjoyed Ellen and Jim’s presentation on communication, thinking quickly on your feet, intentional listening, team building and Yes-And communication. Their approach is so unique and is really fun with the improv exercises. The stories that Jim shared from his baseball career really blended well with the issues we have in business. Ellen does a wonderful job with facilitating the entire room to engage in the activities that actually perfectly match up with Jim’s stories and lessons. It was a keynote and workshop all in one and it wasn’t boring! Plus, I am still using the skills I learned that day! I hope they come back!

Century College engaged Jim and Ellen with ImprovTalk as kenotes speakers for a staff development day. It was an excellent event, interactive and hitting the mark on the prinicpals we wanted to convey in the training experience. I'm not sure employees saw it as training as it was so much fun, but I know they learned alot about opening themselve up to new ways of interacting with our students. A true success, thank you!

Jim and Ellen truly did an incredible job. The sessions were amazing, interactive and truly helped people from all areas of the company learn to communicate and help each other. I highly recomend Jim and Ellen and the workshop they do to any company looking to increase communication, communication skills and team building.

Ellen and Jim's Improv workshop came to my Toastmaster clubs. They demonstrated the keys to Improv and how these skills can be used to improve your performance and relationships in any organization! In a word their workshop is OUTSTANDING! Their workshop instantly improves your active listening and team building skills with hands-on games that keeps the participants engaged! It benefited my clubs and it will benefit your organization as well!
