ASTD Improv Training

Four weeks from today, Darren, Viet and I will be presenting at the American Society for Training and Development International Conference and Exposition in Denver. Just the title of the darn conference is a mouthful. Literally tens of thousands of proposals are submitted each year, and we're super excited, a little nervous and incredibly proud to have been selected to present.

Our session, entitled Got Creativity?, is an interactive session demonstrating how improv training can help companies counteract the current downward spiral in creativity and innovation. We have fancy power point slides and a killer workbook to go along with the presentation. We're expecting around 300 people at our session, which is HUGE.

Anyway, my point is just this - ASTD, a hugely fancy and prestigious organization dedicated to on-the-job training, development and teaching, sees the benefit of improv training in the workplace. Which is, you know, what Held2gether does.

Just sayin'.
