Inspirational Sponsor:
The Capital District Women’s Employment & Resource Center (WERC) is excited to bring a timely, creative and interactive program to WERC’s constellation and community! Kat Koppett, a 25-year improv veteran, actress, author and founder of Koppett., will guide us through a fun and inspirational program where she will share improv and storytelling techniques to build resilience for individuals and collectively in the workplace.
Resilience is not something to be acquired, but rather skills and mindsets that must be practiced, muscles that must be exercised. Drawing from improvisational theatre and beyond, let us celebrate failure and spontaneity; accept all offers with “Yes, and”; and make others feel good and supported! Let us practice and exercise the muscles that we need to build our own resilience and inspire those around us to do the same.
This program will focus on collective as well as individual resilience, covering topics such as:
- Accepting and surfing uncertainty
- Managing negative self-talk
- Exercising spontaneity and accessing creativity
- Being present and focusing on the one next thing
- Focusing on your partner and supporting the “scene” you are in.
Please join us as a sponsor and help us bring this fun, inspiring and positive program to our community and provide vital support to our programs and students. The Capital District Women’s Employment & Resource Center (WERC) remains essential to the success of women in our community reentering the workforce. Our mission has remained strong over the last year and has grown while unemployment has soared. Now, more than ever, women in our community need our services and support. WERC is in a unique position to offer them solutions for becoming gainfully employed and making a positive impact on the community’s economy.
Please save the date and share this with your team, leadership, family, and friends. This program will be a game changer for individuals and teams. Come build our own resilience and inspire those around us to do the same!
