Attendees gain powerful skills to sharply improve communication, interpersonal skills, and establish a cohesive, exceptional workplace culture. Galen delivers his unique, compelling content in a dynamic, entertaining way that gets participants gut-laughing while enjoying this impactful, memorable experience.
The vehicle: Galen's intense passion for both improv and business excellence. The engine: His insatiable thirst to inspire, motivate, and bring out people's absolute best. The cargo: The mind-blowing insights and skills that improv offers to the corporate world. The destination: Engaging people and companies to enhance communication, build strong teams, increase employee engagement, positively embrace and navigate change, and benefit from a collaborative, positive workplace culture.
When he's not speaking or coaching teams, Galen expels his energy by performing improv, playing music and sports, and he runs a non-profit organization called 'Pass The Hat' that he founded. Galen lost his brother in a car accident when he was 18 years old and created Pass The Hat to provide financial relief to local families that are victims of similar tragic events.
Galen travels from Bellingham, Washington.
