Corporate Team Building "Broadway" Themed Workshops — Open Jar Institute

Corporate Team Building Workshops (via Broadway!)

We offer a variety of fun leadership, team-building and skill-building workshops, perfect for every corporate need. These sessions are high-impact and fast-moving, yet meaningful experiences that stretch and builds community amongst your employees.

Built with lots of laughing and memory-building, each workshop theme is connected to showbiz and Broadway. The groups will learn through play and practice on the feet, building partnership connection, observation, creative decision-making, and no-shame risk-taking.

We build muscles of active listening  and the give-and-take skills crucial for trust, growth, social learning, problem-solving, resiliency,  rapport, and peer support. We prioritize understanding individuals’ needs and goals in any workshop. 

Partnering with BizProv and taught by Broadway professionals, these team-building workshops can be custom fit to groups of any size and taught in our studios in Times Square, at your company’s location or even travel nationally to your company retreat.

Pitch Perfect

Crafting Influence With The Power of Persuasion

Influencing others is a skill that can be learned—and we’ll teach your team the strategies that make it happen. Whether you're pitching a product, an idea, or a vision, how you present it can make all the difference. In this class, we take a deep dive into the principles of effective pitching and influencing, drawing on insights from experts like Marshall Ganz, David Rock, and Robert Cialdini.

Participants will practice key techniques such as stakeholder analysis, understanding “character strengths,” and using the SCARF model (status, certainty, autonomy, relatedness and fairness) to overcome barriers to influence.

With hands-on exercises and real-world case studies, your team will leave with actionable skills to inspire others, foster engagement, and get buy-in for their ideas, no matter the audience.

Mastering Difficult Conversations

Handling the Drama Like a Pro

No one enjoys a tough conversation, but everyone can learn how to handle them like a pro. This class teaches participants how to stay calm, collected, and strategic in the face of hostility, confusion, or high-stakes negotiations.

From active listening to reading your "scene partner" and understanding the power dynamics in play, your team will learn how to respond, not react. With techniques for de-escalation, assertiveness, and radical candor, participants will practice navigating tough conversations while maintaining control, setting boundaries, and keeping their cool under pressure.
