what do previous clients say?

In this tough economy, our publishing company was struggling, and as a result morale was at a low. At the one day Held2Gether workshop, we learned greater skills about teamwork, our team solidified and our productivity level soared.
- Plaegian Alexander, Managing Editor, Public Culture Journal

Held2Gether presented an improv workshop at a couplesʼ retreat for Relationship Solutions. Participants responded with enthusiasm to Darrenʼs lively and clear leadership, focusing on the couplesʼ relationships in the exercises he presented. Couples were able to see the foibles and humor in their issues and improve their communication while having lots of fun.

I hired Held2Gether to teach a workshop at the Substance Abuse Foundation of Long Beach with recovering addicts. These people were going through a difficult time. Held2Gether got them laughing, listening and learning how to stay in the moment, while tackling great challenges. I canʼt recommend them enough.

got creativity?

While IQ scores have risen steadily in the United States, creativity has been on the decline since 1990, which is troubling from a number of perspectives. First, creativity has replaced productivity as the central driver of national performance, which means countries lacking creativity will not be globally competitive. And second, studies have defined creativity as the number one leadership competency of the future, which means companies lacking creativity... well, you get the idea. Creativity is hugely important in today's global marketplace, and if your employees aren't as creative as they could be, your bottom line will suffer.

Believe it or not, creativity can be taught - to anyone, at any age. And improv skills are key instruments for retraining the brain's mechanisms for creativity, in a fun, supportive environment that builds morale, teamwork and camaraderie at the same time.
