KEYNOTE TOPICS

  • Collaboration: Three facilitators will lead participants through fun, simple experiences with tools from one of the most collaborative of all art forms—improvisational theater. Our performers will teach the basics of improv collaboration to your audience and guide you through applying these new skills to your real-world collaboration challenges. These skills can be used with both internal and external partners. On Your Feet’s energetic, interactive keynotes leave audiences excited about new collaborative possibilities!
  • Storytelling for Brands: You can have the greatest product or proposal in the world, but to get buy-in, it’s essential to connect with people’s emotions. No medium can touch both emotion and intellect better than Story, which happens to be improvisers’ main product! On Your Feet teams of trained improvisers can teach you tools from the world of improv to quickly create and deliver stories that keep audiences engaged and entertained. These interactive keynotes allow your audience to play with their new skills and even apply them to real-world use cases!
  • Bringing your Content to Life: On Your Feet’s ensemble of trained improvisers can bring many initiatives and scenarios to life, making even serious business content entertaining. Rather than launching your next program with an epic PowerPoint, On Your Feet can bring your content to life through a series of brief scenarios to spark the conversation and learning you’re after. These scenarios often involve in-depth audience participation, possibly keeping them more engaged than they would be for a 97-slide deck!
  • Creativity and Innovation: Improvisers know plenty about on-the-spot innovation and creativity. On Your Feet can teach the creativity building blocks of improv to audiences of any size. Then, OYF facilitator-improvisers will help you apply this creativity to your real problem-solving challenges. After an hour of laughter and learning, your audience will walk out of this experience with fresh ideas for your business—and new skills to generate even more!

If you have a keynote topic in mind that’s not listed here, On Your Feet customizes keynotes on an even wider range of subjects. Additionally, On Your Feet can provide other services for your event, such as emceeing, facilitating networking opportunities, providing energizing opportunities, and creating an improvised recap of your entire event in 15 minutes!
