Come join Anja Bourup, Christian Dam, and the rest of Team IMPROV at the Innovation Roundtable® Summit in Copenhagen, and experience an IMPROV session with a large group of strangers. We guarantee—you’ll love it! 😀
“Be curious, not judgmental." This simple yet profound quote by Walt Whitman is at the core of personal growth and successful collaboration. At IMPROV Communication, we believe this mindset is essential—not only in improvisation but in how we approach work, relationships, and life itself. In an IMPROV Communication workshop session, we train to suspend judgment—of both ourselves and others. Rather than jumping to conclusions or dismissing ideas, we embrace curiosity. We ask, "What if?" and explore possibilities. This creates space for creativity, innovation, and most importantly, psychological safety. When we shift from judgment to curiosity, we build deeper connections, listen more attentively, and gain new perspectives. That’s why our workshops focus on this as one of our 'Five Guiding Principles of IMPROV'. It’s about embracing the unknown with openness, where true collaboration and trust flourish. At the Innovation Roundtable® Summit in Copenhagen, 600 top-level leaders and corporate innovators from 250 global companies gather for three days. My bet? These 600 clever minds are more curious than judgmental—making it one of the year's most exciting events for me. Even so, I sense a certain uneasiness when people join our IMPROV sessions at the end of the two first summit days. Many have never experienced an applied improvisation workshop before. But the surprise of unexpected learning, the energy boost, and the emotional connection to a group of strangers? It’s as rewarding for us as it is for the participants. After doing sessions in the last three years and with up to 120 participants each year, word is spreading—we’re no longer the IR summit’s best-kept secret. And I can’t wait to get started in a few weeks! Imagine what your team could achieve if curiosity, not judgment, became the norm. How would meetings change? How would collaboration evolve? At IMPROV Communication, this is the mindset we foster. Join Anja Bourup, the IMPROV team and me in one of our three sessions at the Innovation Roundtable® Summit in Copenhagen, 5-7 November. If you can’t make it, reach out, and let’s explore how your team can experience the power of an IMPROV workshop. Curiosity opens doors; judgment closes them. Let’s keep those doors open. #psycholigicalsafety #becurious #InnovationRoundtable #IRsummit2024 #innovation #appliedimprovisation #improv
