“Series 18 provided me with an opportunity to push myself and put trust in others to overcome some of my fears. Belaying down a cliff face forced me to put trust in my teammates as well as in myself. The different activities always provided me with experiences I had not previously been exposed to. Who would have thought shooting a machine gun or learning to get out of handcuffs could teach me how to be patient, stay calm and make sure to listen with a purpose. The Improv training is a skill I use daily in my work. Learning to listen with intention and not shut down others’ ideas is a great skill at every level.”
