Improv Mindset: Craft Your 3-Sentence Strategy for Better Opportunities, Referrals & Relationships

with On Your Feet (OFY) led by Gary Hirsch

Join us for this afternoon event in partnership with Oregon ODN!

Improvisers create without the benefit of a script or plan. The ways they do this can be used offstage. In fact, when you act like an improviser, work gets better. Adding more improv skills helps you create, communicate, and collaborate at a higher level.

In This Session:

In this highly experiential (and joyful) Masterclass, you will learn the “advanced basics” of improvisation, ideas that can be applied immediately to your life and work. It helps you:

Respond constructively to whatever happens. Turn the unexpected into something you use, not something that stresses you out. Generate new ideas with ease and learn to build on the ideas of others. Enjoy the creative process even more.

register now to let us know you're coming!

Inspired by a wonderful seasonal gathering hosted by our sister network, the Triangle Organization Development Network (TODN), we decided it was time to bring that collaborative spirit home and give it our own Pacific Northwest spin.

Whether you are wrapping up the Group Facilitation Method Swap (see article above on Brian Kerr) and want to keep the energy going, or simply want to catch up with your local OD community, join us for a cozy evening of conversation and connection.

Hosted by PNODN Board Members Erin Peterschick and Alyssa Elliott, this no-host evening meetup is the perfect excuse to break out your favorite autumn layers and enjoy some dedicated downtime with fellow practitioners. We’ll be gathering at Altitude 15—a local spot in Olympia known for its comfy couches, Pacific Northwest ambiance, and excellent food and beverage menus.

Bring yourself, bring a colleague, and settle in for some great company. Let’s usher in the cozy season together!
