Leadership Without a Script

An MP4 Leadership Series Workshop
Facilitated by Lisa David Olson

Every leader eventually finds themselves in conversations they couldn’t prepare for. 

 

A difficult employee, an unexpected customer question, a networking event, a presentation that goes sideways, a team conflict. 

 

Leadership happens without a script.

 

Improv teaches practical communication skills that help you stay present, listen more effectively, and respond with confidence when there isn’t a script.

 

While improv is known for comedy, a growing body of research shows it can also improve communication, confidence, collaboration and overall well-being.

 

Whether you're leading a business, managing a team, building relationships, or simply looking to become a more confident communicator, this workshop offers practical skills you can use immediately.


 

Recommended for:
Business Owners/Leaders, Entrepreneurs, Managers & Team Leaders, Project Managers and anyone who regularly communicates without a script.


 

Class Description: 

Great leaders don't memorize better answers. They become better listeners, adapt more quickly, and build trust faster.

Through practical improv exercises, you'll develop communication skills that transfer directly to leadership, networking, customer conversations, presentations, and everyday interactions.

 

Choose your own adventure:  Participate fully or simply observe and learn. There is no pressure to perform, and you’ll still walk away with practical tools and ideas.

Be curious and ready to explore a fresh way to enhance communication, unleash your creative side, and grab ideas to reignite your workplace, friend group, or family events! 

 

This class provides a humorous - yet solid – foundation for enhanced communication, with practical techniques to thrive in unscripted situations.
