Mastering Unscripted Moments: The Art of Improvised Conversation

Every interaction is an opportunity to lead through your words โ€” from a chance encounter in the hallway to an impromptu question at a board meeting, these unscripted moments are just as important as the ones you plan and practice for. Come learn tools and frameworks that will transform how you think about and handle these spontaneous conversations. Through playful activities and games from the world of theatrical improvisation (where every moment is unscripted), you’ll explore core mindsets like “yes, and” and “making your partner look brilliant” that will help you listen deeply, share your organization’s story effectively, and connect with others in ways that reflect your role as a community leader. You won’t be performing or be put on the spot โ€” just bring your curiosity and willingness to try something new!

Together weโ€™ll practice:

–ย  Ways of listening and connecting that will make other people feel truly heard

–ย  Frameworks for staying present and confident in unexpected conversations

–ย  Building compelling stories in the moment

–ย  Applying new skills and mindsets to your specific scenarios

Come a little early! Food will be available from 6:30pm
