Hideout at Work

First: Setting the Stage for Fun
The first element of Hideout training is dedicated to creating a playful learning environment, diffusing any anxiety, skepticism, or nervousness that folks bring into a training setting.

Next: Taking Managed Risks
Once everyone is laughing and enjoying each other, we nudge participants out of their comfort zone, giving them hands-on opportunities to step into the unknown and try on the slightly uncomfortable. Along the way we work through all the weird feelings people have around “failure” and celebrate their successes.

Finally: Getting to “Yes And”
We us all this connection and vulnerability to
collaborate with greater success! When our default
response is to say YES to our partner’s ideas AND add our enthusiasm to build the momentum,
the results are incredibly effective and create
good feelings all around!

There are core SKILLS from improvisational theater,
surprisingly simple and shockingly effective
“meta-tools” that YOU can use in any collaborative, high-performing work environment to:

• Have fun (and make sure everyone else is
having fun as well)
• Get loose (and support healthy risk-taking)
• Say “Yes And” (to generate connection,
trust, and results)

And we do it all through low-pressure games and playful interactions that give everyone a chance to not just absorb these transformational ideas
but really experience them in action.
