Milo's most booked program is

half keynote, half interaction...

In the first half, Milo's personal stories, historic tales, and challenging ideas,
lead us in looking at our personal relationship with
risk, change and even failure at times, so we can liberate ourselves to
let innovation thrive and capitalize on our brilliance.

About halfway in, Milo relates this all to improv, where nothing is ever certain! 
He then leads fun, easy improv activities your attendees play in their seats,
customizing the lessons, when appropriate, to the roles/industry of your audience.

Laughter quickly fills the room as your active participants recognize their own communication quirks that both hinder and help them succeed.    more ...

"The raves continue...the value of appropriately taken risk and dealing with the feelings around it."

"At a pretty early hour, you had my people laughing and tapping into creativity... ready to be at their best for the challenges of the conference."

The improv comedy show

designed to relate

valuable business lessons!

With titles like "Whose Line-Manager Is It Anyway?" & "Laugh In the Fast Lane", these entertaining duo presentations are as much a show as they are a keynote.

The IMPROVfessionals "top-ten" style lists are customized to the focus of the gathering.  We've been asked to entertain on ten points about:

  management and teamwork
  sales
  event planning
  social blunders (for a non-work party) 

Then, a life story and/or an improv game is performed by the duo  to make each of the ten points.

Attendees love that they get a live spontaneous comedy show; planners love that ten solid business lessons are memorable in format so funny that it can even work for a holiday party.     more...

"Four stars!...We wanted something funny, topical, and valuable and you fit the bill beautifully."

"...Fun, clear, and helpful while being thoroughly enjoyable"

Good listening skills

aren't just child's play!

Wake up the room with an interaction most attendees haven't tried in thirty years. 
And they'll discover that, not only have they not outgrown it, but they aren't a bit
better at it!  Listening is challenging...and in this case funny!

The concept is simple enough:  Do what Milo says only when he says Simon Says.  And if Milo does something different than what he says, again, do what he says.

Lightly competitive, this fun challenge engages the brain fully, especially when
Milo gets trickier as he goes...

"Inside of 15 minutes, those morning blahs were behind us and we had a large ballroom of alert conventioneers ready to hear [our client Flooring America's] important messages of the day.  "We were thrilled to see that they were more than on-board − they were trying hard to keep up and stay in the game.  When the last twenty or so took to the stage, everyone was enthralled, watching for a winner and finally cheering for the man who outlasted the rest."

 

Finalists get to test themselves
on stage, but even the
early-droppers gets to play
along in their minds,
calling out their peers,
with plenty of laughter.
