Tina Fey once said, “Just say yes, and you’ll figure it out afterwards.” It’s a great motto for life, for leadership, and for this webinar.
For if you say YES to this webinar, whether you regularly lead training, are brand new to training, or are in a leadership role and want to better support your employees who oversee talent development, you will leave our time together confident and clear on how to use improv-inspired activities to develop people’s communication and leadership skills. Plus, you will compile a variety of activities you can easily integrate into existing face-to-face and virtual training.
Improv is a great way to develop your employees’ confidence, increase their ability to innovate, and heighten their communication (and listening) skills so they can speak up in meetings and on behalf of your organization. In this webinar, you will also explore common mistakes too many HR and talent development professionals unknowingly make when leading improv in a corporate setting so you can avoid them. You’ll also be poised to bring a “yes, and” attitude to the myriad challenges and constraints you are facing, particularly when it comes to engaging remote learners.
A former instructor of improv at The City University of New York (CUNY) and the founder and president of the Step into Your Moxie® communication and leadership development platform, executive and speaking coach, Alexia Vernon excels at showing HR and talent development professionals how to harness improv as an employee development tool. She’ll support you to develop the mindset and skill set to be able to walk into any room, conversation, or onto any stage and speak up for yourself, the ideas and issues that matter most to you, and call people to take action.
Alexia Vernon, dubbed a “Moxie Maven” by the White House Office of Engagement for her unique and effective approach to leadership development, is a Las Vegas-based keynote speaker and sought-after speaking, leadership, and executive coach and trainer to leaders, talent development professionals, and consultants who want to speak with unshakable presence, sell their ideas, navigate daring conversations, develop high-performing teams, and advance their thought leadership (as Alexia calls it, possess the ability to Step into Your Moxie®). Alexia has supported thousands of rising and established leaders through her Step into Your Moxie® corporate offerings, online training, live events, and masterminds.
