Communicating With Curiosity
An improv-based workshop that transforms the way your team listens, speaks, and connects.
Why communicate with curiosity?
Most people believe they’re good listeners. Indeed, many companies have “curiosity” as a company value.
But the truth is that most of us listen to respond, not to understand. We’re already forming our next point while someone else is still talking. We prioritise being right over being open. And without realising it, we create environments where people hold back, ideas get lost, and collaboration stalls.
This workshop addresses that – practically, and in a way that sticks.
This workshop works well for any team where communication and listening could be improved. It’s particularly valuable for:
- Teams that talk a lot but don’t always hear each other
- Organisations going through change, where clarity and trust matter more than ever
- Leaders who want to model better listening from the top
- Early-career professionals building communication habits that will last
“It made me realise that I overestimated my listening skills and challenged how open I am to accepting other people’s ideas. ”
What does the workshop cover?
This is a hands-on, interactive session built around improvisation-based exercises. Participants work through a series of practical exercises that expose the habits getting in the way of real communication, and replace them with better ones.
The focus is on deep active listening: staying present, postponing judgement, and building on what others bring rather than waiting for your turn to speak. By practising the “yes... and” principle – the cornerstone of improv – participants learn to create momentum in conversation rather than closing them down.
It’s not about being funny. Nobody needs to perform. The session is designed to feel engaging and energising, not exposing.
What will participants learn?
How do we deliver training?
We believe in learning through doing, not watching. The exercises in this workshop are rooted in the principles of long-form improvisation – the same techniques that professional performers use to create something from nothing, together, in real time.
In a workplace context, those principles become practical tools. The learning is actually felt in the room, meaning it tends to stick.
Central to everything we do is creating an Idea-Friendly Environment: a space where speaking up feels safe, creative risk-taking is encouraged, and ideas are built on rather than shut down.
