PMI Central Iowa Chapter - Events Calendar

In this interactive session with Joe Van Hacke, we’ll explore how improvisational techniques can help project managers adapt to change, communicate more effectively, and foster team collaboration. Participants will engage in hands-on improv exercises designed to enhance listening, flexibility, and creative problem-solving. We’ll also discuss practical ways to apply these skills to real-world project challenges. Join us to discover how embracing improv can lead to more innovative and resilient project teams!
