Improv for Business Skills: For Women Only
w/ Diana Brown, Shirley Chan, and Jill Eickmann
Too assertive, and you’re labelled as bossy. Too accommodating, and you get passed over for projects and promotions. What’s a modern gal to do? Change the world by changing your circumstances!
Learn how to apply fundamental improv skills to your business life. “Yes, and” those big opportunities! Build your career brick by brick (and discover the right path for YOU in doing so). Three seasoned professionals from the worlds of stage and high-speed startups will guide you in navigating the business world on your own terms.
This class is open only to female-identified participants. We welcome male allies at all other workshops in this series!
