The Middle Way offers more than just fun, interactive improv games for companies and teams. Our improv workshops are designed to teach skills for work and life. We use improv techniques to help employees thrive in work, relationships, and overall well-being. By combining improv with behavioral science principles and practices such as mindfulness, cognitive flexibility, and growth mindset, employees walk away feeling energized, refreshed, and more confident and connected to one another.

Some of the benefits of our improv workshops with companies include:

For the Team:

• Enhanced listening skills.

• Improved communication and psychological safety by learning to “yes and” experiences and ideas.

• Enhanced flexibility and ability to respond to change and uncertainty.

• Increased creativity by creating space for things to emerge out of “the unknown.”

• Enhanced resiliency by learning to turn “mistakes” and “setbacks” into “gifts.”

For Individuals:

• Greater focus and mindful awareness.

• Strengthened self-compassion by practicing kindness when “messing up” or “failing.”

• Skills to manage anxiety and tolerate uncertainty.

• Greater courage and confidence by taking risks in a safe and supportive atmosphere.

• Development of a “growth mindset.”
