Are you profit-driven or people-driven? Is it possible to be both? By combining your leadership skills with a genuine authenticity that reflects your core values, you create a workplace that’s open and human. When people feel like they can be themselves and be honest in their feelings it naturally leads to more creative, collaborative teams. Being authentic improves your well-being, strengthens your relationships and breaks down barriers of communication. Everybody Up will teach you how to open up, let your guard down, step out of your comfort zone and lean into authenticity. By using the tools of Applied Improv, we have designed a series of entertaining, low pressure exercises that emphasize removing masks and putting trust in being the real you. Improv encourages positive collaboration, improves employee morale and interjects energy and enthusiasm among its participants. The workplace today can use more leaders willing to be themselves. By using the tools of Applied Improv, you can build teams based on mutual respect, loyalty and a positivity that is reflected in your bottom line.
Building teams that are strong and united is one of the most important investments you’ll ever make. When teams share a common vision, they are more productive and relaxed, the quality of work improves, relationships thrive and you’ll see a lower turnover as well as decreased absenteeism, all components that affect your bottom line. Our exercises focus on communication, building trust, mitigating conflict, supporting colleagues and accepting and building on each other’s suggestions. Effective team building means more engaged employees. Let us motivate and empower your team to create a positive workplace culture. We’ll get your people on their feet playing, having fun and learning what it means to be part of a team.
First impressions are built not only by how we present our physical selves, but by verbal and nonverbal skills as well. Your tone, expression, gestures and body language can speak volumes over what is said out loud. In fact, one popular study (hyperlink) stated when it comes to determining our likability, body language accounts for 93% of communication while the remaining 7% are words. Everybody Up! uses traditional and nontraditional approaches to teach you how to read others’ body language and be aware of your own; practice empathy and use emotions within context; think on your feet in any type of situation that demands communicating, practice active listening and help you and your team become more relatable and approachable. Our experiential learning techniques are invaluable resulting in increased productivity and work performance, employee loyalty, greater revenue and fewer workplace conflicts.
