1:00 - 3:00 PM
This is a Two-Hour Remote Interactive Presentation with Pam Victor, President, Happier Valley Comedy. We ask you attend live with access to video/microphone.
Shhhhh! Don't tell anyone this secret: In this remote interactive presentation, professional improviser Pam Victor shares the exclusive collaboration superpower that allows improvisers to create comedy out of thin air, so you can use these trade secrets for building stronger collaboration, communication, and resilience at work. This presentation provides easily applicable techniques for quieting the inner critic to build more confidence and adaptability. You'll receive fun, hands-on experience with why we overuse "no" to restrict progress, and how we can get to a "yes" mindset in order to move forward together with more positivity and creativity. Through humorous stories and impactful exercises, you learn how to use improv superpowers to improve brainstorming, flexibility with change, team empowerment, and creative problem solving. Participants also receive links to instructional demonstrations of improv games to play online or in-person with young patrons, families, and friends.

Money Smart MI initiative is once again providing free copies of this year's book to libraries across Michigan for use in money-themed story time events during the month of April, 2021. These events will probably look a little different this year; they might zoom, or be live on facebook, or part of a grab-and-go project, but we can't wait to see how you use this wonderful resource!  Our 2021 Michigan Money Smart Kids Read book is (drumroll please...)
