Develop and practice an improv mindset to strengthen your interpersonal toolkit so you can lead with agility, spontaneity, and creativity.

Agility. Spontaneity. Creativity. The most effective and dynamic leaders need all three. But learning how to respond to unscripted situations and unexpected business challenges is rarely part of your leadership training — until now. This Stanford Intensive live online program combines cutting-edge research in social psychology and improv techniques to help you find and flex your creative muscles and grow as a business leader. By developing an improv mindset, you’ll be more open to solving challenges in new ways, sharing your authentic self, and leading with both confidence and empathy.
