Improvisational Leadership for Disaster

Throughout history, people have improvised their way through uncertain times, including during disasters. In this interactive class, participants will learn how intentional improvisational practice can strengthen individual and community preparedness.

Grounded in research and real stories, Improvisational Leadership for CERT is designed as a fun exploration that also provides a framework of how to think about supporting our communities when systems fail.

This course will provide participants with interactive exercises to develop and better understand the skills leaders can use in emergency situations. No previous improv experience needed. Shy people welcome.

You will:

• Use improvisation to practice adaptive leadership skills
• Use creativity, communication, and collaboration to navigate the unexpected.
• Discover how anyone—not just “official leaders”—can step up when their community needs them most.
