Speak Up, Stand Out: Communication Tools to Grow Your Career

Your supervisor asks for your input on a project direction. A colleague raises a challenging question in a meeting. Someone asks you to take the lead on a new initiative. In moments like these, uncertainty can feel like a barrier โ€” but it doesn’t have to be. Through engaging group activities and pair exercises, you’ll discover how core improv principles like “embrace the unknown” and “bring a brick” can transform workplace challenges into opportunities. You’ll explore mindsets and techniques that help you move ideas forward with confidence, speak up for what you need, and show up like a leader, from any seat. You won’t be performing or be put on the spot โ€” just be open to play!

Together weโ€™ll practice:

–ย  Moving forward even when you donโ€™t have all the answers

–ย  Speaking up and contributing ideas with confidence

–ย  Strategies for building trust through authentic workplace interactions

–ย  Applying new skills and mindsets to your specific scenarios
