Ready for some creative thinking AND a good laugh? They go hand in hand!
Please join us for an enlightening and light-hearted podcast with Peter Margaritis. Peter is also known as “The Accidental Accountant.” He is a CPA, author, podcast host, world renowned speaker and “Chief EDUtainment Officer.” Listen in to learn how you can incorporate improv with your business. It is especially useful when you need to get the creative ideas from your team out on the table AND tighten up those bonds while working remotely.
Behind the scenes note:
After Peter and I recorded the podcast, he told me he was pivoting to facilitating virtual improv conversations with teams. He said something like… “I’d be happy to do one for your team if you’d like.” To which I responded… “What are you doing next Monday?”
Peter joined our virtual team conference for about 45 minutes and led us through a lively, fun and funny lesson on improv. His segment of our meeting was hands down the winner of the day. We laughed and learned. Mostly we learned about good communication and about building an environment where people can share their best ideas…ideas that can be built upon to create new opportunities. I highly recommend Peter’s virtual sessions!
