GPPCMA November Educational Meeting

Practiced Spontaneity: Cultivating the Leader Within

Please join us on November 17th, 2010 for a special presentation by Izzy Gesell MS Ed, CSP, this year’s PCMA Best in Class Speaker. Izzy is an "organizational alchemist." He is the author of Playing Along: Group Learning Activities Borrowed from Improvisation Theater. Izzy was one of the first to bring the concepts of Improv Theater into the business world. He has also contributed to the International Association of Facilitator's Handbook and Humor Me, a compilation by America's most prominent humorists. Izzy’s presentation, Practiced Spontaneity: Cultivating the Leader Within, speaks to meeting professional's need to be nimble, confident and creative in order to personally thrive while inspiring others. Interestingly, the same is true of improv theater performers. In fact, the skills that make improvisers so successful are the same ones that make non-performers successful. The good news is that these skills are applicable and available to us. By understanding and practicing the concepts and structures, participants will understand how to develop the powerful personal qualities of presence, acceptance and trust within themselves.

Enjoy an hour of self discovery while learning new skills for effective human interaction through a journey in improv. We are honored to have Kati Quigley, Chairman of the Board, PCMA, join us for this program.
