Professional Development Training

Our professional development training packages can be customized to suit your needs. Whether it’s a series of coaching sessions for small groups of 6-8 junior staffers, a presentation to 50 executives at an employee retreat, or a webinar with an audience of 500, we develop a training that works for you. Our founder’s improvisational comedy background informs how we approach professional development. Spoiler alert: it’s fun.

What Does Professional Development Training Include?

If you work with us for Professional Development Training, here are some examples of what that might include:

Public Speaking

Yes, we can help your employees conquer what studies say is the most common fear in the world: public speaking. We’ll use low-pressure, improv-informed techniques backed by science to help them gain confidence.

Client Communication

Sometimes it feels like the nuances of client communication take a lifetime to learn. We’ll teach the tried and true approaches learned from relationships with hundreds of clients. Will there be improv? You bet.

Perfect Your Elevator Pitch

We teach a workshop called “How to Sound Like a Human In Your Elevator Pitch” that helps you clearly, succinctly say what it is you do here—no matter how much you despise networking.

Empowering Your Junior Staff

If you’re running a business, there’s not a lot of time to mentor your junior staff into the independent team members you need. We’ll teach them the skills they need to take charge and let you breathe.

How It Works

Every Professional Development Training Client is different, but here’s (generally) what you can expect when you get started with us.

Step 1

We do a quick meeting or call to determine your organizational needs, goals, and priorities.

Step 2

We design an improv-informed training that works for you, and schedule any sessions needed.

Step 3

We conduct the training, whether as a one-off session or a series.

Step 4

Your employees feel more comfortable, confident, and connected in an increasingly disconnected, disconcerting world.

Soft skills don’t have to be hard to learn.
