As a Training or L&D professional, you rarely get to stick to the script. Questions come out of nowhere, the room shifts, and the plan changes. The best facilitators and communicators stay confident and keep the audience engaged anyway.
Join us for an energizing evening with Will Dennis, Founder & Chief Catalyst, Unscripted Productions, who will show how the principles of improv can sharpen the way you communicate, facilitate, and connect with learners.
You’ll walk away with practical ways to:
-
Listen more actively and respond with purpose
-
Stay calm and flexible when things don’t go as planned
-
Build rapport and trust quickly with any audience
-
Bring more energy and presence to your training sessions
Whether you’re a seasoned trainer or new to L&D, you’ll leave with ideas you can use in your next workshop, meeting, or presentation. No improv experience needed.
Come ready to learn, laugh, and meet other talent development professionals in our chapter.
