Corporate Team Building, Leadership, & Sales Challenges ALL 100% SOLVED by Improv’s Terry Withers!

The Radical Agreement Project, the brainchild of veteran improviser Terry Withers, has launched an exciting challenge to the world’s workers:  Come forth with your most daunting, most tenacious, most overwhelming workplace problems, and we will solve them all using improv comedy!

Believe it or not, there are skeptics in the world regarding the useful application of improv comedy exercises within the workplace.  In order to prove these skeptics wrong, The Radical Agreement Project has launched The Improv Workplace Challenge!  This bold and reckless program promises to use improv comedy exercises to resolve even the most challenging workplace issues!

Improv doubters, skeptics, killjoys, and sadsacks, are all invited to share the most daunting and persistent workplace challenges (problems) they’ve encountered.   Examples might include:

1) I worked for a company with many locations in the same county and we kept sending new hires to the wrong location for their first day.

2) Nobody at my company understands our shared internal document management platform.

3) People are willing to come back into the office following a government-mandated shutdown but are strongly resistant to maintaining our old dress code.

(and of course, the ubiquitous)

4) I have a really difficult co-worker….

The thorniest challenges will be selected and then fully SOLVED using a tried and true improv comedy technique.  Instead of using actors, Learning & Development / HR professionals trained in the application of improv comedy by The Radical Agreement Project will perform the improv exercises that will solve the problems.  The results will be recorded and released as a web series late this Spring.

Challenge submissions are due no later than 4/10/21 and can be submitted online here:

Any parties interested in performing in the videos may also volunteer their acting talents.  All participation is 100% FREE!

Will the application of improv comedy prove victorious in this impossibly ambitious challenge?  The world waits with bated breath for the answer.  Regardless, the video project is sure to provide some good laughs and some great insights into the nature of collaboration, communication, and problem-solving.

Asked about the project, founder Terry Withers remarked, “It is just another fun way to bring people together using improv during this challenging time.  You know, we offer free improv for the workplace training sessions over Zoom maybe three to five times a week. But it can get stale approaching improv the same way day in and day out.  So this will provide a fresh look at how to use improvi collaboratively, particularly as it relates to problem solving.  I think it is going to be a metric ton of fun!”

About The Radical Agreement Project

Launched by long-time improv comedy teacher & performer Terry Withers, The Radical Agreement Project is a free, low-time-commitment, Learning and Development laboratory with a focus on exploring and sharing the training applications of improv comedy exercises in the workplace.

This is primarily accomplished through frequent but brief virtual learning sessions of 15-30 minutes in duration. Each session introduces and teaches a simple improv comedy exercise with applications to critical business skills. Take away materials detailing key applications are provided so that participants can easily take what they’ve learned back to their teams and run the exercises there.

The project is open to all professionals who work in a Learning & Development or managerial capacity across all industries and has a secondary goal of serving as a networking hub between contemporaries who would otherwise not have the opportunity to interact.

Oh! And we always try to make sure that the workshops provide a few laughs.

Go figure.
