Our speaker:
Jody Wood has been a professional actor for almost 30 years and has worked in every aspect of the show business industry from Improv Troupes to Theater, Film, Television, and Radio. You may have seen him on CSI Miami, The West Wing, ER, among many others or during his four season run as Detective Danby on David E Kelly’s Boston Public. He has also been in numerous films such as LA Confidential, Rules of Engagement, and Halloween. The very root of his work has always been improvisation in one form or another. About 15 years ago as he worked with Improv Comedy and Theater Troupes he began to see how the skills and techniques he developed and practiced could serve the corporate and organizational world in a very positive way. He developed his idea by working with numerous companies in those first few years on product launches, annual sales meetings, strategy sessions and the like, all while refining and proving its effectiveness. He then began creating workshops and seminars built on these improvisational techniques as a rapid, fun, and effective way to transform teamwork, creativity, communication, and innovation in the workplace. There is no doubt that improvisational theater and the world of business and organizations are absolutely made for each other, thus his business, “Play for Success” was born. Since then his business has grown to help leaders and teams in Fortune 500 companies, universities, and privately held businesses transform the way they communicate and collaborate.
