Engage, adapt & influence. Get the Improv Edge in business!
Training, team building, and keynote presentations that change how teams communicate.
Joe Hammer partners with forward-thinking organizations on interactive improv-based training and team-building workshops that build real skills in listening, collaboration, and adaptability under pressure. Some engagements open with Joe’s high-energy keynote presentation, a great way to set the tone at a conference, offsite, or leadership summit before the team moves into hands-on training. Others move right into Joe’s interactive training.
The Improv Edge keynote
Joe opens your conference, offsite, or leadership summit with a high-energy overview of today’s communication and the skills that make interactions more effective.
Interactive workshop
Joe’s hands-on team-building training in listening, adaptability, and collaborative communication, built around your team’s real challenges… and in a fun way!
Lasting team habits
Participants leave with practical communication tools they can use immediately: listening better, thinking faster, collaborating more effectively, and handling the unexpected with confidence.
Why Phoenix teams choose The Outcasters.
Led by improv director and communication coach Joe Hammer, our programs have already worked with Phoenix-area organizations like Banner Health and Banner MD Anderson Cancer Center. We understand the pace and pressure of Phoenix’s business community (healthcare, hospitality, tech, and professional services), and we build every session around your team’s actual challenges, not generic games.
Because business doesn’t come with a script. Every day, your team faces moments nobody rehearsed:
- A customer changes direction.
- A presentation goes sideways.
- A difficult conversation takes an unexpected turn.
- A team needs to solve a problem… now.
Your people can’t always prepare for what happens next… they need to know how to respond. Influential Interactions gives participants an engaging, hands-on way to practice exactly that!
Unlike comedians who are attempting improv corporate training, Joe has spent decades working in the professional speaking and business world. He understands the corporate landscape and knows how to turn improv principles into practical business skills.
Sessions run on-site at your Phoenix-area location or at our Scottsdale training center.
