About Us
ROI: Richard Oberbruner Improv facilitates Employee Engagement Training sessions (EET™) that enhance camaraderie, productivity and profitability.
My target companies are small (10 to 100 employees), or medium (100 to 300 employees) within the customer service sector. My ideal group size - for maximum effect - is 20 employees. I also present at larger association and non-profit conferences.
Again, I believe the most competitive companies in the marketplace are the most cooperative in the workplace.™

My presentation, “Isn’t It All Just Improv, Anyway?” had 75 to 80 participants. It was well-attended and, judging by the laughter and applause, well-liked.
I reinforced the 5 Elements of Improv
• Trust
• Communication
• Acceptance
• Building
• Spontaneity
which also happen to be the 5 elements of a healthy, thriving workplace. Participants took with them techniques that can improve morale and productivity in their workplace.

In a federally funded program governed by the Workforce Investment Act (WIA), I motivated hundreds of job seekers to organize their efforts and promote themselves effectively to employers.

I liked the interactive nature/chance to collaborate with staff across departments.
I liked the camaraderie. Also it's important for all of us to have a sense of where the company is headed even if we aren’t policy or procedure makers, The time flew by because it was filled with engagement and energy.
