Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this public speaking class:

This intro class will begin to enhance your skills in public speaking, focused listening, responding, flexibility and specificity – leading to greater confidence and lower inhibitions when speaking or presenting.

Improvisation is not just something for actors and comedians. MBA Students are being asked to take improv classes. Why? The answer is the same reason why professionals and educators should be trained: the root is in communication. Even the basic improv principle of “yes, and” is the essential idea behind inquiry.

Improv is a life skill that builds confidence, enhances listening and responding skills and encourages collaboration. It is all about the moment, the right now – essential to good communication.

This is a lot like training for a marathon. You do not go to the gym once and then run thirteen miles. People can’t just walk into a classroom, boardroom or a gallery and start presenting. By training your brain, you are sharpening your skills.

    Good intro improv class. I wouldn't say there was anything about it geared towards professionals specifically, but still a good experience.

    I've never taken an improv class before and this was a great intro class. Dave made it fun, created a comfortable environment and laid out a solid foundation to improv. Thoroughly enjoyed the class and learned a lot! So much so that I'm considering taking more improv classes.

    The instructor was very personable and I liked how we worked our way up from individual exercises to partner exercises to group games, then to partner exercises in front of the group. I am typically shy, so I was nervous in the beginning, but the setting was comfortable.

    I had a lot of fun doing this class. This is as the title says is geared more for people not familiar with improv so its ok if your a beginner. If you do this quite frequently you may want to do a more advanced class.
