Improv on the Beach, Melbourne, Dec 19th

Johnnie Moore

I’m Johnnie Moore, and I help people work better together

I had a great Skype call with Tony Goodson this morning. We’re going to organise an Improv on the Beach session when I visit Melbourne in December. It will be on Monday 19 December 6pm to 8pm (and meal to follow) at Ellwood Beach. We’ll be running some of our favourite improv activities, with a smattering of debriefs about how they are relevant to creating lively organisations and brands. If you’re interested in joining us, email Tony or me.
