Celia Schaefer created IRL Workshop. She is passionate about sharing highly effective and learnable communication skills and strategies with organizations who value a collaborative and productive community culture.
“After working as a facilitator and leader on over 40 communication workshops over a span of more than ten years, I saw an opportunity to bring a new focus to the art of teaching communication skills through improvisation.
“Inspired by my training as an actor and improviser, I adapted selected exercises from those disciplines into a new program of workshops that give participants concrete experience and insight in communication challenges and solutions that can increase their effectiveness as team members, leaders and innovators.
“The workshops are highly participatory, ensuring the techniques will translate beyond classroom time into useful skills in each participant’s work life.
“And the “special sauce”? I create a uniquely collaborative, supportive and fun atmosphere, where colleagues can take risks, expand their abilities and create new practices for communication success.”
