Specialties
IMPROVentures features four different areas and a bonus:
(1) Interactive motivational keynote speeches like "We Gotta Fail...To Succeed!":
Keynotes so interactive that they can almost qualify as a teambuilder, too. In an hour program, typically Milo speaks for 30 minutes, gets all playing in their seats for 20-25, and then does a wrap-up.
(2) TEAMprovising™, our teamwork/communication course using improv games.
It's teambuilding, but much more! Using fun exercises & games from improvisation, TEAMprovising™ classes from IMPROVentures brings focus to teamwork, communication skills and initiative. Discover places in our interaction where we fail to build on the ideas of others, get caught in pre-conceived notions, and miss the opportunity to contribute all while everyone is laughing together.
(3) Public Speaking Coaching
Milo Shapiro has worked with hundreds of people on public speaking skills and the fear of speaking in presentations to improve their ability to be Prepared, Polished, and Powerful in any speech they.
(4) Improv entertainment keynotes with a business message
Two or three improvisers prove 10 business points in ten improv games, making up everything with ideas from the audience. The messages hit home through the laughter.
(4-1/2) Professional Simon Sez - for Adults!
Wake up the whole room with an unexpected throwback to our childhood in a learning lesson about how we listen and how we do what we THINK we're being asked to do.
History
Established in 2000.
After 15 years in I.T. while performing improv comedy at night and on weekends, Milo Shapiro took a huge leap of faith to create TEAMprovising, the first of IMPROVentures' offerings. He drew from the many games he knew, blending them with the knowledge he had drawn as a businessman and project manager, creating a San Diego team building event that has been hired nationwide.
People kept telling Milo he needed to speak to larger groups than the 10-30 he had been. His deeply involvement with the National Speakers Association since 2002 led to him entertaining and stimulating audiences with the hugely interactive motivational speech "We Gotta Fail...To Succeed!" , as hired by Qualcomm, Minolta, Wellpoint/BlueCross, and more.
As attendees approached Milo for help with their speaking, he launched his third division "Public Dynamics" in 2004, where he has helped hundreds to become prepared, polished, & powerful when they speak. Author of "Public Speaking: Get A's, Not Zzzzzz's!"
