The Leadership Improv Lab

Real leaders think on their feet. They know how to show up, listen deeply, and respond to what’s happening in the moment — without a script. That’s exactly what improv teaches.

But this isn’t just about being funny or performing. This is about presence.

It’s about authenticity and confidence in the face of chaos.
It’s about practicing leadership in a way that’s real, messy, and deeply human.

What to Expect in the Leadership Improv Lab:

  • Grounded Presence – Get out of your head and into the moment. Practice being fully present when everything around you feels uncertain.

  • Real-Time Problem Solving – Learn to pivot and adjust when the unexpected happens — and it will.

  • Listening and Emotional Awareness – Build empathy and connection through active listening, responding to what’s actually being said (not just what you expect to hear).

  • Creative Risk-Taking – Embrace discomfort and take risks without overthinking, because leadership isn’t about being perfect — it’s about being present.

Why Improv for Leaders?

Leadership isn’t about memorizing the right lines. It’s about being able to adapt, adjust, and engage with your people in real time. Improv teaches you to:

  • Think on your feet in high-pressure situations

  • Read the room and respond authentically

  • Collaborate under pressure and trust your instincts

  • Turn mistakes into momentum instead of spiraling into self-doubt

What You Won’t Get Here:

❌ PowerPoint slides
❌ Boring lectures
❌ Stiff role-plays that feel more corporate than human

Who Should Attend?

  • Leaders who want to build trust and authenticity in their teams

  • Frontline managers who need to stay calm under pressure

  • High performers who want to get out of their heads and into real-time connection

  • Anyone tired of being stuck in “perfection mode” and ready to lead with presence

Ready to Dive In?

Join us for a Leadership Improv Lab and practice the kind of leadership that can’t be faked.

👉 Sign up for the next session that happens every other Wednesday at Electric Works Forum in Fort Wayne, IN.

Or bring us in to your organization for some interactive team building focused on a specific shared goal or outcome. Contact us about this!

We can’t promise you won’t feel a little awkward — that’s the point. Let’s get comfortable with discomfort together. You might even laugh and enjoy yourself a little. (No improv experience necessary.)

See you in the circle.
