ComedySportz: Professional Development Workshops and Shows
Since our first “improv business” workshop with Apple Computer in San Jose in 1989, Patrick Short and the ComedySportz team have helped many businesses across the US bring joy, playfulness real communication to their workplaces.
Trust, focus, listening, confidence, awareness and making the other person look good: these are the tools that our professional improvisers use onstage to make people laugh. These are the same vital tools companies use “offstage” with clients, coworkers, and customers to succeed as a business.
ComedySportz is experiential training at its best – the soft skills they don’t teach in most MBA programs. Our workshops are engaging, interactive, meaningful and entertaining. We showcase and analyze the elements that make improvisation successful, then provide empowering applications. Plus, our right-brained approach gives all attendees a memorable experience laughing as much as learning.
We offer small steps and big steps. Every program is customized to fit your objectives and your group – your group may be a large or small company, department, church, school, non-profit or association. Some of the areas we’ve covered are:
• Basic Team-Building, New Business Group, Post-Downsizing & Multiple Worksite Groups
• Managing Change, Risk-Taking
• Communications, Customer Service
• Design Thinking
• ComedySportz Shows are perfect for many corporate events and can be combined with our workshops.
• Your idea – bring us a challenge – we’ll construct a session or sessions that meet your issues head-on.
