Motivational Speaking Experience at IMPROVentures

As a motivational speaker, Milo's keynotes are a great fit for groups from 20-500. The stories are fun and inspirational and there's a large section in the middle where even a large audience gets to play a few games with the people around them...right from their seats.

Milo's best featured work deals with our relationship with risk and how our mindset can stand in the way of going with the flow and adapting. He uses the improv games to help attendees see this side of themselves...while they're having fun!

We even have arnprogram where a duo or trio of improvisers come and perform ten improv games that prove ten business points -- like on sales or management orrnteamwork -- creating a fresh show each time that also hits home with its message.Just a few of the organizations Milo has spoken to:

Wellpoint/BlueCross
Minolta
Southwest Airlines
Hilton Hotels
Wells Fargo
Meeting Professionals Int'l
Kaiser Permanente
Project Management Institute
Association of Women In Science
Amer. Soc. of Training and Development

Team Building with Improv - Experience at IMPROVentures

TEAMprovising is our most interactive program where your group is led through a variety of games for 1 to 6 hours as a team building event that also enhances creativity, communication, and commitment. Best for groups from 8 to 30 people, but larger options can be considered. Sometimes, the best choice for larger groups is to blend a keynote with teambuilding in an lengthened version of Milo's most popular speech: `You Gotta Fail...To Succeed!`
