Explore how the performance art of Improv Theater
works and how it can have a powerful impact on
your important personal & business interactions.
In these challenging times we are all dealing
with the unexpected, looking for ways to stay
in control and how to stay balanced in an unbalanced
world. By sharing the very same techniques used
by talented performers from the entertainment
world like “Second City” and TV’s “Whose Line
is it Anyway” this session offers new and powerful
insight into the way each of us embraces and
processes every challenge we encounter.
Our featured speaker, Izzy Gesell, MS Ed, CSP,
will help us explore how the performance art of
Improv Theater works and how it can be a powerful
skill applicable to both personal & business
interactions. Come learn how to use humorous & memorable
techniques to help you stretch our own comfort
zone. Izzy just did this session at PCMA in Dallas
and had everyone fully engaged, inspired, and totally
prepared for the next time when you have to think
on your feet. Click here for

The skills that make Improv Theater players successful
are the same ones that make us all successful.
Highly effective individuals and improvisers are
both able to respond positively to new realities,
are driven to achieve desired outcomes and can
cooperatively resolve conflict and reach agreement.
They generate new ideas, incorporate changes quickly
and easily and communicate constructively, consistently
and proactively. Of course, creating this powerful
and effective person is not a simple task. It requires
flexibility, creativity and spontaneity.
This highly
interactive (using volunteers only!!) and practical
program will let you experience how Improv works,
why it is so powerful at facilitating self-development
and organizational effectiveness and how to you
can incorporate these techniques into both your
personal and professional life. Plus, you will
have fun!
Learning Objectives:
1.Learn how to diffuse the feelings of fear, risk,
and change to become more comfortable with uncertainty.
2.Develop your confidence and maintain effectiveness in situations requiring
spontaneous response.
3. Understand how to keep a dialogue going while trying to resolve conflicts.
