Constant Exploration

“If Christopher Columbus had an advisory committee he would probably still be at the dock.” — Arthur Goldberg

As a relatively young entrepreneur I was often told that I just could NOT do things a different way, that I was disrupting the status quo and there were rules ZW needed to understand. At great risk, almost as often as I was told no, I decided to chart my own course and found that the world was NOT flat, business could happen a different way, and that disrupting the status quo did not actually hurt anyone.

Although my #Hustle has not been without difficulty (READ: Not nearly as difficult as crossing the Atlantic in 1492. Scurvy?! — No thanks), New opportunities for DSI are being “discovered” Every Single Day, and I am now able to more fully support my community, my clients and my business partners.

You Should Try Improv At Work

Zach Ward and DSI Comedy Theater have been offering workshops to corporate clients all across the country for over a decade, introducing comedy concepts to help organizations develop a competitive edge.

Intensive on-your-toes comedy training can be a boon to business. – News & Observer

In the era of Who Moved My Cheese? 2.0 we are experiencing a ‘Rat Race’ with more and more complicated mazes with much less satisfying payoffs once we stop running… IF we ever even stop running to look around. Do you want to work more effectively and HAVE FUN while you do it?

Who answered ‘No’? — That’s what I thought. Nobody.

Comedy techniques help people think on their feet, create new ideas effortlessly, actively listen to others, and work productively as leaders and team players. Improv and comedy workshops can help you learn to read any audience and coach you to develop professional flexibility, making it easier for you to accomodate clients, customers, satisfy management, support peers, and manage conflicts in the workplace.

Interested? You should be. You need to be. So what can you do?
