What Happens When You Say “Yes, And…”?
Improv is the art of being OK with the unexpected. The same skills—flexibility, connection, and confidence — used by improv performers to create something from nothing can help us thrive in life, work, and especially networking.
At this month’s Networking & Neurodiversity Happy Hour, we’re partnering with Improv Chattanooga to explore how improv techniques can help you:
- Feel more confident in unfamiliar conversations
- Strengthen communication in professional and social spaces
- Use "yes, and…" to build rapport and navigate unexpected moments with ease
Whether you're looking for a job, growing your network, or simply stepping out socially, this event is for you.
What to Expect:
- Improv Activities led by seasoned performers from Improv Chattanooga
- A casual, welcoming environment designed to support neurodivergent professionals
- Partner tables from inclusive employers and community organizations
- Happy hour-style snacks and drinks
- Space to relax, connect, and be yourself
Who’s This For?
- Neurodivergent and neurotypical professionals
- Inclusive employers, community advocates, and allies
- Anyone interested in making authentic connections in a supportive setting
Come as you are. Play a little, connect a lot, and discover how improv can make networking feel a little less awkward—and a lot more fun.
- Want a resume review? Be sure to bring a digital or printed copy of your resume.
- Networking with employers and peers
- Light refreshments + board games by Game On Chattanooga for casual connections
