Events

Have you always wanted to try out improvisation in your everyday working life – but somehow the perfect opportunity has never presented itself? Then you’ve come to the right place! Come to the Zollhaus and let us inspire you on exactly the topics that concern you. Practical, action-oriented and fun.

The focus of this event: Status. When people come together, status is created. Who dominates? Who loses? Who gets respect? Who comes across as arrogant, insecure, determined or likeable? We show you how to recognize your status and deal with it consciously.
