About this Event
In professional life, the moments that matter most rarely come with a script.
A tough question during a meeting. An unexpected objection from a client. An introduction at a networking event. A conversation that suddenly becomes uncomfortable.
In these moments, communication isn’t about having the perfect answer. It’s about how you respond.
In this interactive session, actor and communication coach Brian Lafontaine shares practical improvisation-based tools to help professionals:
· Think clearly under pressure
· Respond instead of react
· Listen more effectively
· Build stronger, more collaborative conversations
· Communicate with greater clarity and confidence
Drawing from over 30 years of experience performing in high-pressure environments, Brian translates core improv principles into immediately applicable skills for everyday professional situations.
This session is not about being funny or performing.
It’s about presence.
Participants will leave with practical tools they can use in networking conversations, meetings, presentations, client interactions, and leadership moments, especially when things don’t go according to plan.
