BUSINESS INTERCULTURAL PERFORMANCE in BUCHAREST Act 1: Setting up the Stage

Moving business is about moving poeple, opening their eyes on other experiences to capture useful secrets from successful Entrepreneurs. It is about moving successful Entrepreneurs to make them present their success, their business processes in an open and creative way.

So here we are, the Yannick Kraemer Group, developing  70 hairdessing salons in France, China, Turkey, represented by Yannick the CEO, Thierry, Laure, Jean Luc, Yagmur,
Patrice Kucharz the "psy" and myself...

Today is setting-up the stage, casting the models, rehearsing the improvisation to get the momentum and evacuate the stress. None of the team members have ever performed an improvisation on Quality Service Rules in a Salon (could have been any retail shop). None are real actors although every day at the salon they perform with clients in front of other clients, in front of mirrors

Never before the team has performed as a team: from China are meeting the others for the first time

The pressure is rising, the client L'Oréal is demanding,

Business Secrets in Bucharest: Coaching meets Improvisation Technics

D-day minus 3 days, there I am coaching 5 hairdressers and managers...

We are all focusing on our target: performing a genuine Improvisation to deliver the Secrets of Quality Standards in a Retail Shop in the Luis Kraemer group, an Hairdressing Group that has created human links between France, China, Turkey, Canada...

The "Stage", the L'Oréal Academy in Bucharest...The audience, Romanian hairdressing Entrepreneurs.

Getting the message through, not using classical Conference methods is going to be the key...Getting a "troop" of salon managers to perform on stage and respect the frame, the goal of the presentation... It's all about:

  • What do we want the audience to understand? to remember? to talk back in their businesses?
  • How to get to that goal? How to build the group performance?
  • How to put each member of the team in a winning mood to perform a role?

Easy? Not easy

The funny feeling about it is that each one is already performing a genuine role in the real life, in the salon, with a very demanding audience the clients that pinpoint all the errors of casting and work performance in the place.

The tension is rising as we get closer to taking off for Bucharest...Last rehearsal on Sunday: smiles, eye contact, encouragements... we are on our way for an intercultural experience that motivates each and everyone of us.

To be followed

IMPROVISATION IS NOT JUST ABOUT IMPROVISING

Is there a link between Theatrical Methods and Management Relations & Communication in a team ?
Take some snapshots at a few interesting links to stay Open minded and move positively on this: Improvisation is about Active Listening to get into the scenari of the play and propose a correct » answer » (attitude & sentence) to the actors you are playing with Being ready for the unexpected & taking the « proposal » of the other in a positive way, so as to build a rapor and then make the play move in a common direction.
Building understanding for the spectators like building understanding for the team around us: that is a key idea to always have in mind: « how do the others see my communication? It is about mastering key moments of misunderstanding and getting a player back into the « game »: remotivating the player Learning improvisation is fun, it is energy consuming: you feel good, you get your ideas straight, you can pull your act together…
Really worth trying A troop of Dans, Americans, Canadians, Germans, English & Kiwis, "THE IMPROFESSIONALS" give you the keys to master improvisation both live on stage, but also in trainings
