The Second City was proud to present an interactive keynote at the 44th Hostage Negotiation Seminar in Baltimore, MD. We led the audience through a variety of improvisational exercises that provided practice in being #agile in the moment, deep listening skills, and #collaborative storytelling. We are grateful to have had the chance to work with these dedicated professionals.? Kelly Leonard, Tyler Dean Kempf, Ash "Tree" Branch

?? Improv meets real-world impact! ?? The Second City is more than just the home of world-class comedy—it’s a powerhouse of research-backed methodology designed to transform human behavior and team dynamics in ways that drive real, meaningful change and impact.
Really looking forward to reporting back on this. We're delivering a keynote after lunch about using improvisation to practice the skills you need in any sort of negotiation. In a few weeks, I'll be posting a podcast with our partners at the University of Chicago Crime Lab about similar work we just started doing with them. Last time I worked in Baltimore, it was staging a city-centric show at Center Stage. That feels like a lifetime ago. #improvisation #negotiation

Rockwell Automation’s EDGE Sales Training Program is here in Milwaukee with The Second City Training to enhance skills in listening, communication, and teamwork (and maybe to find the next Tina Fey of Rockwell ??). #lifeatRok #improv #secondcity

On this week’s episode, Kelly welcomes back historian Martha Jones to discuss her new book, "The Trouble of Color: An American Family Memoir." Through deep research and personal storytelling, Jones explores the silences in the historical record and the tension between official documents and family memory. Who gets to define our history—the archives or the people who lived it? “So much of the historical record was written with silence.” Through research, Jones grapples with who decides what stories get told. Tune in for a powerful conversation on ancestry, identity, and the ways we come to know ourselves across generations. #history #race #family? https://lnkd.in/gXrNw2Zt

A Masterclass in Comedy & Resilience ?? Martin Short has spent 75 years making us laugh, but behind the comedy is a story of resilience. He lost his brother when he was 12, his parents by the time he was 20, his wife of 30 years to cancer, and nearly let fear stop him from pursuing his career. Instead, he took the leap at—and became a legend. His formula? Chase your #dreams. Surround yourself with the right people. Don’t let fear win. And always, always find joy. A true #comedy #icon, on and off the stage. https://archive.ph/8Py6B

On this week’s episode, Kelly connects with professor, author, and improviser Dannagal Young to explore the intersection of political media, satire, and psychology. From the divide between outrage and irony to the surprising connection between science and improv, this conversation unpacks how we make sense of the world. “We—all of us—are wrong about lots of things...Confident humility is a corrective lens.” Tune in for a fascinating discussion on media, misinformation, and the power of creative truth-seeking. #comedy #improv #disinformation? https://lnkd.in/gzbBiNJ5

Leadership is an Improvisational Art ?? Ronald Heifetz,??founder of the?Harvard's Center for Public Leadership ?is among the world’s foremost authorities on the practice and teaching of leadership.?He is also the co-author of 'Leadership on the Line: Staying Alive Through the Dangers of Change', where he writes?:? "A plan is no more than today’s best guess.” "Leadership is an improvisational art. You may have an overarching vision, clear values, and a strategic plan, but what you actually do from moment to moment cannot be scripted." Yet, many leaders worry about their teams’ ability to?#adapt, pivot, and embrace #change —without equipping them with the training to do so. That’s where?The Second City?comes in. Through improv-based learning, we help teams think on their feet, collaborate seamlessly, and navigate uncertainty with confidence. Let’s connect and explore how we can help take your talent to the next level. ???Contact us https://lnkd.in/eHc9CUdY #Leadership #Improv #Adaptability
