Founder Thomas Maple, a psychologist, has designed for Maple Human Development an improv training workshop that is very valuable for increasing the effectiveness of your organization's team by improving your team's COMMUNICATION, CHEMISTRY, & CREATIVITY.
COMMUNICATION
Improv work improves team communication that increases understanding and decreases errors.
This occurs because the improv work helps each team member to:
1. Examine one’s own communication style and realize what adjustments one can make to communicate information and ideas more effectively; and
2. Create a habit of paying attention to teammates’ communications and listening for understanding.
CHEMISTRY
Improv work improves team chemistry that increases cohesion and decreases conflicts.
This occurs because the improv work helps each team member to:
1. Discover that spirited collaboration yields greater results than individual work does; and
2. Build a sense of trust in one’s teammates, who also have come to appreciate the value of collaboration.
CREATIVITY
Improv work improves team creativity that increases spontaneity and decreases inhibitions.
This occurs because the improv work helps each team member to:
1. Experience successes with some of the thoughts that one puts into action; and
2. Appreciate the value of teammates’ ideas.
At your office or at your retreat site, Dr. Maple leads the improvisation workshop along with performers from the Tom’s Foolery troupe. They introduce your team to the concepts of improvisation and demonstrate certain improv games. They then coach
your team members in those games and give them time to practice the games in small groups. At the workshop's conclusion,
Dr. Maple leads your team in a discussion of the insights and skills that they have acquired.
