Fostering Change Through Improvisation
Description
How does a leader create an environment that maximizes excitement, creativity and a positive
attitude, and minimizes the dampening effects of rigid resistance? How do you, as someone who has
to adapt to change, stay flexible, keep your perspective, and capitalize on the creative
opportunities that change can bring?
This half-day program builds the skills of the improviser (literally, "adapting to the unforeseen")
in leaders and team members. This visceral experience of adapting to change situations generates
support, a spirit of play, a sense of empathy for what it feels like to change, and most of all, an
excitement toward taking risks and achieving new results.
Methodology
To achieve these results, The Ariel Group employs theater-based, participative techniques,
combined with practice and personal coaching. Some of the workshop's activities include:
- Exercises that focus and build positive energy in dialogue
- Role playing to develop skills in overcoming fear of and resistance to change
- Unique methods for brainstorming that produce new results
- An experience that increases awareness of the impact of body language on group dynamics
- Practice at providing direction to a team that brings out the best ideas in all and promotes total participation
Program Outcomes
Participants will gain:
- Tools to create an environment where change is viewed positively as opportunity
- Talent for working quickly and creatively within limitations
- Openness to invite and employ different styles and perspectives in achieving change
- Ability to encourage risk-taking and nontraditional ideas and actions in groups
- Increased presence and charisma through dynamic use of voice, body language and humor
