We’re not a regular partner, we’re a cool partner, Los Angeles…

  • Offers steady outside perspective, which can get through to teams often times more than if it came internally.

  • Is not a one-size-fits-all (or even one-size-fits-most) program. We use a customized approach to address specific issues or patterns within your team. You’ll have a 1:1 sales call and consult call to discuss exactly what’s going on and what we can do to help.

  • Is informed by years of experience working with small businesses to Fortune 500 companies. This really isn’t our first rodeo.

  • Is typically a 1-2 year time commitment, but we’re flexible and can determine what fits your team’s needs the best.

 

3 Ways We Can Work Together

Best Business Improv Classes and Improv Workshops in Los Angeles

CULTURE
JUMPSTART

1-time event Think of this as a conversation starter. It will not change the trajectory of culture, but it will kick-start that change. The Culture Jumpstart gives the team a new dynamic and infuses positive energy into the environment.

    • Short-term one-off events (workshops or keynotes) at team offsites or virtually for a very specific group objective.

    • Our workshops are about as hands-on as it gets. Your team will be up and moving, throwing themselves right into the learning, and pausing to digest the activities in conversational debriefs.

    • Our keynotes, on the flip side, are more of a motivational experience to give you food for thought–but it’s up to you to put it on the plate and eat. Lol, we had to.

    • New teams

    • Teams that feel stuck and need somewhere to start

    • Kickoff events

    • Celebratory team offsites

    • Conferences
