- More about you: (Short Bio or any other details you'd like people to know)
- I first discovered the usefulness of Improv when I was on-stage in a local production of ‘The Rivals’ and my fellow actor completely forgot what he was supposed to say and do (“Goodbye” and leave).
I refined some of those skills working with the Murder We Wrote Murder Mystery group in the UK before heading west to the USA in ’99.
I did further refining work studying at the Conservatory of the Second City Training Centre, ComedySportz University and Improv Olympic training centre in Chicago.
I work as a corporate technical trainer and every time I go in front of a class full of programmers I offer thanks for my ability to ‘make it up as I go along’. I am a practitioner of Accelerated Learning methods and have a passion for quality training
I am also honored to serve in the leadership of this wondrous network. I spent a year as Board Secretary and chaired the Chicago 08 Conference

Back to 'School' - and a Stalker
Posted on August 13, 2009 at 7:30am 2 Comments 0 Likes
As my new job settles down and I'm not traveling anything like as much as I used to I decided to take the opportunity to go back to 'school'
After hearing Mick Napier chatting at the Chicago conference I decided to get some of his style of training so I signed up for classes at The Annoyance.
I'm sitting in the classroom with the dozen or so other newbies starting to introduce ourselves when someone walks in that I recognize.
It's Joey Greene.

Just wanted to reach out to a whole bunch of my pals on here and share with you all that I got a new gig in May.
I'm the training and development lead for a software company called Accero that sells HR and Payroll software.
IMPROVing Organizations still exists and who knows some day may be a vehicle for me to independantly persue the work I love. As for the moment there is a huge amount for me to to at Accero and you can be sure I'll be making a lot of it up as I go… Continue

But it's not ours.
It's the IAL and I've just delivered a session on using Improv for teambuilding. I enjoyed sharing our message with others and they were as accepting of the strengths and transformational power of our work as we could hope for.
And then there was the party where during the band breaks I got some people to play some games for everyone.
Now I know that people are more interested in when our own conference will be and…

Adrian Segar said… - Alan, thanks for the welcome! You can read more about my approach to unconference-style participant-driven events on my website: http://www.conferencesthatwork.com/. In a sentence, I'd describe what I do as a "structured unconference": a design that's more supportive than Open Space (i.e. introverts welcome). I've been running and facilitating conferences for thirty years, and my Conferences That Work design has been evolving during the last twenty. The website and my book have a lot more information…
