The Trainers

Milo Shapiro

Milo Shapiro walked away from his B.S. in Computer Science and fifteen years in I. T. to pursue his passion:  applying improvisation to business practices and personal devel-opment.  On his last day, a co-worker asked, “Who’s going to make it fun to work here now?” 


Milo began studying improvisation in 1990 and began teaching the art in 1993, traveling in the US and Canada to continue his own improvisation education and teaching skills.   He served six years as the business manager of the comedy troupe TheatreSports.  As CEO of IMPROVentures  (www.IMPROVentures.com), Milo conducts various business programs including teambuilding, speaking skills classes/coaching, motivational keynoting, and entertainment programs. 

 

Milo’s client list includes Pfizer, Sempra Energy,
Wellpoint/BlueCross, the U.S. Dep’t of Defense,  the U.S. Marine CorpsKodak, Minolta, Computer Sciences Corporation
, and many non-profit organizations.  Testimonial letters from these and other companies are on his website.  He was invited to speak in 2003 for the international convention of the American Society of Training and Development.

 

This particular class draws extensively from his training program, “TEAMprovising” which is designed to create a higher sense of team connectedness while also improving communication and innovation.  Through the fun of

improvisation games conducted in a safe environment, staff recognize and correct areas where they may need improvement, such as:
 

Accepting each other’s ideas

Building on what others offer          

Communicating clearly         

Developing rapport
