We teach the skills people need to form smoothly-functioning teams that can communicate and innovate in remarkable new ways. Our workshops focus on three areas:
Creativity
- Where do ideas come from? Can even silly things become
great ideas? What is innovation? How does judgment kill
creativity? Our techniques and exercises help people unlock
parts of their imagination that have been held hostage for
years.
Teamwork - Our simulations, exercises and techniques
help everyone trust, relax, open up, reduce fear, build
on ideas, not judge, cooperate, solve problems, put ego
aside, work towards a common goal, and have a lot of fun.
(Pretty great...and it works!)
Communication - Explore body language, awareness,
listening, spontaneity, status, brainstorming, relationships,
eye contact, and playfulness. The more people understand
how to communicate, the more they'll understand each other
on new levels while collaborating.
What
Our Clients Say
"I recommend BATS training to any organization that wants
to have creative people that cooperate and cooperative people
that create, assuming they can stand the fun." - Randy
Nelson, Dean of Pixar University, Pixar Animation Studios
"It was a very successful program. [The BATS trainers]
energized the group. Their exercises brought us together
as clinicians in ways we had not experienced before."
- Dr. Scott Abramson, Kaiser Permanente Medical Group,
Hayward, California
"BATS Improv provided SAP with a great team building
session! The team building exercises were listed as one
of highlights at our 2 1/2 day off-site meeting. [Your trainers]
were professional, funny, and encouraging. The group laughed
a lot and learned how to communicate better." - Marie
Goodell, SAP
"[BATS] exceeded our expectations. It was nothing but enjoyable
for everyone." - Foote Cone & Belding
"I
wanted to let you know how completely amazed and delighted
our entire office was with Friday's training sessions. Everyone
had an wonderful time, we learned a lot, and we got
to know each other really well, which was the primary
goal of our day. There have been many many comments about
what a great teacher Diane
is, and how people truly enjoyed the day (and they want
to know when we can do it again). Thank you for helping
us set it up, and thank you for your hard work in making
it all happen" - Paula Jenkins,
