Improv is a great tool to help with public speaking, working together as a team, and creating a workplace that functions and flows. Improv is also a fun way to get your creative juices flowing or to spend the time learning a new skill that is multi-faceted in it's applications.
It has been said ‘life imitates art.” In the case of improvisation, life is art. Improvisational actors are observers and experts in creating and building on information that is presented to them. That is what makes this form of comedy so exciting. These same skills are of tremendous value to those of us who deal with conflict.
Timothy Mahar studied improvisation with the Second City Comedy Troupes in Toronto and Chicago. He received his Master's degree in Public Administration and Certificate of Advanced Study in Conflict Resolution from the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs at Syracuse University.
Tim has performed improv for over 30 years in addition to hosting and acting on several television programs and movies, along with radio. He has experience as a facilitator and presenter. He has presented and held workshops for various organizations on the topic of creative conflict and crisis management. In addition he has held high level positions as Assistant Dean, and Executive Director at both Syracuse and Cornell Universities.
