Experiential training to transform the way your team connects and collaborates.

An organization filled with smart, talented, and motivated people is everyone’s dream. But you can’t stop there. To truly take an organization to the next level, your smart and talented individuals all have to work as a team – and therein lies the rub. Fear of change, anxiety surrounding speaking up or sharing new ideas, and resistance to vulnerability hinder our best efforts toward growth time and time again.

For the last 15 years, Matt Horgan has transformed how thousands of teams across the US connect, communicate, and collaborate using his experiential and empathetic improv-based programs. Designed to directly address and explode common fears surrounding change and failure, Matt will have your team connecting, laughing, and creating like never before.

Matt can give your people/organization valuable tools and experience with:

  • Team building

  • Purposeful, mindful connection and communication

  • Unlocking the creativity of groups and individuals

  • Fearless public speaking

  • How to roll with constant change

  • Role playing for true-to-life practice with leadership, sales, and client service

Umm, how does improv connect in any way with business?

An extremely reasonable question. Most people’s introduction to improv comes from popular TV comedies like Whose Line Is It, Anyway?, but at its heart improv is a collaborative art form that prizes support and teamwork over individual efforts. “All of us are stronger than one of us” is the mantra that best describes this inclusive, non-hierarchical approach to work. As an improviser of 30 years, I can tell you from long experience that the two most important skills for onstage success are:

  • To be an engaging, present, and mindful communicator with the people we are working with

  • To be a positive, supportive teammate who puts group success above personal interests

These two skills are extremely valuable on any team. That’s why the large array of improv games and exercises that improvisers drill to sharpen their communication and collaboration can do the same for your team … and it won’t even feel like “work.” The most frequent piece of feedback I get from my programs is, “I knew it would be unique and fun, but I had no idea it would be so applicable!”
