Professional Development that Sticks.
Fun and effective learning with zero performing (or trust falls)
How has CSz worked with businesses?
We empower and equip participants with the different tools and frameworks of improv.
We teach the essential, yet often overlooked or discarded, communication and collaboration skills that will consistently improve the quality of your work, home, and social relationships.
Through the experiential learning process, participants can leverage these skills to grow professionally in their role and in the workplace.
Worldwide, CSz has delivered successful training to employees in every known industry, from network executives to nuns, from lawyers to lumberjacks to high-tech engineers; from Fortune 500 companies to local organizations, and non-profits.
What is Applied Improv?
Applied Improv draws learning outcomes and lessons from improv and utilizes them for non-theatrical or non-performance application. There’s no performing and participants learn by doing, through a series of exercises, reflections, and improv-based games.
