More often individuals are interacting with people from within their own workplace, other organizations and communities. There is value and strength in being able to easily transition and adapt to each new interaction.
Our Teaming Program is designed using improvisation as a teaching tool for collaboration/working with others constructively and with fun!

Learning to create communities versus teams; building in networking theory and social capital makes this versatile program valuable for both professional and personal lives.
