Are your engaging icebreakers met with crossed arms and raised eyebrows? You're not alone.
Many trainers and facilitators struggle with introducing playful, improv-based activities to the corporate world and many "bored rooms" 😄

You'll learn how to set clear expectations, use intentional language, frame your activities as experiments, and many more tactics to break down the barriers.

😊 ABOUT JAN
*****************
Jan is a recovering shy guy, a people-loving introvert and a deep connector.
He is on a mission to teach empathetic leaders how to design group experiences that spark engagement, increase trust and foster deep connections, so nobody feels left out.
He believes that gatherings without intentional structure inadvertently perpetuate patterns of oppression and it’s the responsibility of the leaders to ensure everyone feels seen and heard - especially the especially the quiet, shy and underrepresented folks.
He believes that you can warm up your meetings without cheesy icebreakers, build trust without trust falls and facilitate vulnerable conversations without participants feeling they’re in therapy.
He also believes everyone is fighting in a fight club we know nothing about. Because rule #1 of fight club is… we don’t talk about it. If leaders create a “brave” space where participants feel safe to be vulnerable together they’ll realize the most powerful thing as humans: I am not alone.
I hope you’ll join him on his mission to help people feel less alone and fuel the movement for deeper human connection.
His work has been featured on TEDx, CBC News, Breakfast TV, Cityline and HuffPost and he is currently building a community of facilitators that design the MAGICAL HUMAN MOMENTS online.
