The KC Improv Co offers corporate training that helps organizations and individuals function better and achieve more. Our group includes multiple MBA graduates, attorneys, teachers, and other professionals who know how to translate performance-based skills into the corporate environment. We have worked with groups of university professors, insurance executives, and others.
By studying improv, we have found ways to develop the specific skills we need – skills that most people would love to improve, but don’t know how. Skills like listening, collaboration, teamwork, idea-building, and positivity. We base our work on principles we have learned from Second City, the UCB Theater in New York, and our professional lives.
We also lead team-building that is designed for fun, to unleash creativity, and to help people see their co-workers in a different, more fun light than they have ever seen them before. We use easy and simple games that loosen people up naturally, help them work cooperatively and creatively, and re-instill a sense of play that is too often lacking in the workplace.
Rates typically run $150 per hour per instructor plus travel and hotel. One instructor can work with 10 to 25 attendees effectively.
Tim Marks with [the KC Improv Co] led a group of our supervisors through an improv
training session. By bouncing imaginary balls, using “Yes, And” to continue a
conversation, and challenging the group to complete a task without words, Tim
showed all of us how to strengthen our listening skills, open up to new ideas
or ways to approach a task, and overall have a fun time no matter what is going
on. The skills learned in our session are being implemented in our offices around
the country. We wholeheartedly recommend Tim Marks for a corporate event, and
we are looking forward to bringing Tim back for our next meeting.
