SUMMARY:Stand-Up Meetings Workshop
LOCATION:Comedy Plex Comedy Club: 1128 Lake Street (Lower Level) Oak Park\,
  Il. 60301
DESCRIPTION:A two-hour workshop on using humor and the principles of stand-
 up for business communications Stand-up comedy is more than just laughs\, 
 it’s a powerful tool for connection\, confidence\, and communication. Th
 at’s why we’re offering this two-hour workshop for professionals who w
 ant to bring a little comedy into the conference room. Whether you lead me
 etings\, give presentations\, manage a team\, or just want to feel more at
  ease speaking in front of people\, this class is for you. Have you ever b
 ombed an interview? Had a difficult time talking to your boss or someone y
 ou managed? Felt like you lost the room during a presentation? Stand-up co
 medians deal with that every time they hit the mic\; and they’ve learned
  tools to keep the audience with them. Now you can learn those same skills
 . This class will show you how to use humor to connect\, how to read the r
 oom\, and how to bounce back from feedback like a pro. You’ll build conf
 idence\, boost your communication skills\, and have fun while doing it. Yo
 u don’t need to be funny\, just open to trying something new. By the end
 \, you’ll walk away with tools you can use at work (and maybe even at an
  open mic). Plus\, you'll get to network with like-minded professionals. A
