A key part of successful leadership in any area is improvisation -- being present, listening, adapting, agreeing, and acting. Richard and William bring this to life in a rare, insightful, and impactful experience for all. One of the exercises highlighted the tension between ambiguity/chaos and control/direction -- and how leaders can navigate these circumstances on behalf of all involved.

Unique" is probably the wrong word for it... Custom and profound are definitely apt descriptions. We did this over 5 sessions in a highly interactive and provocative way. I learned a lot from the workshops and HIGHLY suggest everyone take them.

The Agility Group provided our top producers with a safe space to explore new skills it will certainly be remembered for years to come. I highly recommend exploring improv to help in your business and interpersonal life, and the Agility Group was the perfect mix of Professional and Comedic to make that connection happen.

A speaker's fee typically covers the keynote presentation, a pre-event planning call, and standard customization. Travel expenses are usually billed separately.

What are the standard policies for speaker travel and expenses?
