About this Event
About this event:
Change doesn’t knock before it walks in: a reorg, a new tool, a shifting deadline, an unhappy client. As a manager, you don’t get to opt out of it, you only get to decide how you (and your team) respond. In this session, built together with comedian Stacey Smith, you’ll learn the difference between bouncing back (surviving a setback) and bouncing forward (anti-fragility, getting better because of the disruption, not despite it).
During this 3-hour session, you’ll use improv and play to practice staying grounded when things go sideways. Spotting what’s actually in your control and turning a rough update into something your team can actually hear.
Our open enrollment sessions always consists of two elements:
- Models or tools to play with
- Practice with a training actor, this time: comedian Stacey Smith!!
There’ll be room for connection, conversation, and a croissant on the side 🥐.
Who Should Attend:
Our open enrollment sessions are ideal for first time managers/leads or those that are looking for proper training and a space to practice and exchange insights, especially if “there’s always change here” is a sentence you’re tired of hearing or find challenging.

The idea behind our Manager’s sessions:
Stepping into leadership for the first time is one of the biggest shifts in your career. Suddenly, success isn’t just about doing the work yourself, it’s about guiding, supporting, and empowering others to do theirs. That’s why we organize these Manager’s Sessions.
The concept is pretty simple: practice-based learning in small groups with an opportunity to connect with peers. Interactive & practical - leaving you with direct feedback & tools to directly apply at work.
We organize our Manager’s Sessions regularly, so follow our Eventbrite page (or LinkedIn) to get updated on the next one!
