OUR APPROACH
Team Development
"A company that plays together, stays together."
Improv-based team building that transforms how your people work together.
Improv-Based Team Building
Flanders Consulting leverages traditional consulting methods and improv-based team building to facilitate learning and spice up the monotonous, standard format of professional development, conferences, seminars, executive retreats, and staff training by providing interactive workshops, engaging keynote speakers, and entertainment for special events.
Improv is used by Fortune 500 companies for maximization of employee morale and team cohesion. It is an extremely effective teaching tool to help executives and employees develop highly desirable soft skills such as leadership, sales, motivation, public speaking, confidence, cooperation, and innovation.
Participants are inspired to step outside of their comfort zones and challenge old and ineffective paradigms while maximizing their contributions to the company.
Soft Skills Developed
World-Class Credentials
Our consultants are not only accomplished business professionals, but are also professionally trained improvisational actors who taught at, or have graduated from, the world-famous Second City Training Center in Chicago.
What Is Improv — and Why Does It Work?
Improvisational theater is the art of creating scenes, stories, and solutions in real time — without a script. In a corporate setting, improv is not about being funny. It is about building the mental agility and interpersonal trust that high-performing teams require.
The core principle of improv — "Yes, And" — teaches participants to accept what a colleague offers and build on it rather than block or redirect. This simple discipline rewires how teams communicate, problem-solve, and support one another under pressure. When practiced consistently, it breaks down silos, reduces defensiveness, and creates a culture where every voice is heard.
Social-Emotional Learning
Social-Emotional Learning Skills
Social-emotional learning (SEL) is the process through which people develop the self-awareness, emotional regulation, and interpersonal skills needed to navigate complex workplace relationships. Improv-based workshops are one of the most effective vehicles for SEL because they create low-stakes, high-engagement environments where participants practice these skills in real time — not in a workbook.
