2. In a completely different vein, the power of improvisation in life and business.

- My business (IMPROVentures) includes improv-based teambuilding called TEAMprovising
- Through the games, we get to focus on listening skills, building upon the ideas of others, non-verbal communication, and much more.
- It’s about more than fun and teamwork. There’s a lot of personal breakthroughs in areas around where we stop ourselves because we’re afraid of being judged or wrong or even demeaned. Yet, in playing it safe, we undermine the change for breakthroughs, mentoring, and celebration − of both outcome and spirit
- 30+ years of improv on stage including 14 years and es and other organizations.
- Dozens of motivational speeches where I get the whole audience playing in pairs.
- Groups experiencing my improv work: Pfizer, Qualcomm, The US Navy, Southwest Airlines, and many more with testimonials on my website
- Learn the whole interesting story about how an I.T. guy transformed into a solopreneur doing all of the above on my “About” page on www.MiloShapiro.com .

As a guest, I share useful, actionable information with your guests; I get the line between a talk show guest and being a shameless plugger. So long as my books and websites are mentioned at least twice, and people are invited to join my mailing list, and that it’s clear that I’m available both locally in San Diego and via Zoom everywhere, I’m done plugging. 😉
Beyond that, it’s all sharing usable info with them.

Best way to contact me? Call me old school, but email by far suits me best to start: improv@IMPROVentures.com
Then, lets find a time for a call or Zoom to really talk! Thanks!
