E MBODY T HIS ! A PPLYING I MPROVISATION TO INSTIGATE CHANGE Ellen Feldman Ornato & Jenny Drescher Founding Partners [www.theboldercompany.com] We talk a lot about change. We tell people how they should be. But what types of learning stick? What does it look like when individuals are truly embodying leadership qualities that make change possible? The best organizations have cultures where individuals take ownership and feel comfortable asking for support. They listen fully, recognize the contributions of all players and dare to take risks (and possibly fail). Join us to learn how immersive applied improvisation programs change behaviors. Bolder, more generous team members behave courageously, with curiosity and levity. These behaviors set up the organization to close more sales, retain employees, attract top talent, and overcome challenges with greater ease and collaboration. Founders Ellen Feldman Ornato & Jenny Drescher have a combined 30+ years of facilitation experience and have been making mischief emboldening others since 2015.

G LOBAL C OLLABORATION FOR P OSITIVE C HANGE : W HOLE S CALE P RINCIPLES & B EST P RACTICES Al Blixt J.D. & Paul Tolchinsky, Ph.D. [www.wholescalechange.com/founders] The Purpose of Whole-Scale Change TM is the creation of change in organisations, networks and communities that requires the active involvement and commitment of multiple stakeholders in order to be long lasting, effective and successful. Using microcosms representing the entire range of levels, functions, geography and ideas in an organisation, Whole-Scale processes provide a way of working with the whole system to create and sustain system change. Find out how these processes can enable a critical mass of the organisation to create a new culture in the moment that models what the organisation can look like and becomes the vehicle for powerful change in the whole system. Al Blixt has 20 years experience in Whole-Scale Change in addition to working as an attorney, university professor, and advertising & marketing executive and extensive experience working with colleges and universities to mobilize entire campuses to increase retention and graduation rates. Paul Tolchinsky is a internationally known consultant, author, speaker, lecturer, managing and facilitating large system change efforts. His work is featured in Large Group Interventions (Bunker and Alban, 1997), and The Change Handbook.
