Create Authentic Professional Relationships Using Acting Technique

In today's business world you must be known, liked, and trusted by your clients, customers, and peers in order to maximize success. This is true whether you are networking in person, or delivering content on camera!

When trying to build professional relationships, we are too often "in our head," censoring our own thoughts and impulses for fear of standing out or making ourselves too vulnerable. We hide our true selves, thinking that we must conform to a certain archetype in order to do business.

Join me as I teach you an adaptation of the Meisner technique, an approach to acting based on the practices of American teacher and actor, Sanford Meisner. You will learn how to develop your instincts, observation skills, and responsiveness in any business or personal setting. Meisner believed that if an actor could “get out of his head,” he or she would bring a new layer of realism to their performance. You can apply the same principles to your daily life as well as your on-camera marketing efforts!

On Saturday, February 26th, you will experience an interactive, engaging workshop filled with exercises designed to strengthen your powers of observation and get you out of your head during key interactions. We will start to break down barriers that can dampen real human connections.

• Three-hour class fits conveniently into your schedule
• How to show up as your authentic self in any interaction to speed up the relationship-building process
• A safe environment where team members feel comfortable being themselves
• How to lead no matter what role you're in
• Improv exercises help you build a strong on-camera presence
• Bonus presentation! Intelligent Office owner Richard Rheme will speak about leadership and give us a glimpse into the facility to start us off!

This class will require you to participate in exercises that will be out of your comfort zone and may elicit unexpected responses in you or others. This is GOOD!
