Improv is a spoonful of sugar — it’s fun, and it teaches real business skills fast.
Unscrewed Theater is bringing master improv teacher Scotty Watson to Tucson and we’re offering a one-evening workshop on using improv tailored to business and sales.
The benefits of improv for business include:
- Increased Adaptability & Resilience: Improv trains individuals to feel comfortable with uncertainty, enabling teams to pivot faster in response to unexpected changes.
- Stronger Collaboration & Trust: By reducing the fear of failure, improv creates a safe space that encourages risk-taking and fosters a more supportive, cohesive team culture.
- Boosted Creativity & Innovation: Improv can help employees break out of conventional, routine thinking to generate new, unconventional solutions to business problems.
- Improved Presentation & Sales Skills: Techniques from improv can help professionals think on their feet, handle client objections, and tell more compelling stories.
In this workshop, you’ll practice (not just talk about) how to:
- Think more creatively
- Stay present with clients & collaborators
- Handle curveballs with positive action
- Create sharper messaging & content
- Improve listening, trust, and team agility.
