Kristy West is a Certified Applied Improv Practitioner, Speaker, and Founder of BraveSpace. She has been performing, studying and teaching improv for almost two decades. Along with her improv experience, Kristy spent over 15 years in B2B Sales and Corporate Training. Today, she blends her unique experience in improvisational comedy, corporate sales, and training to help teams and individuals practice critical communication skills and team collaboration in a brave space using the methodology of improvisation. After spending many years witnessing first hand how work environments and teams can suffer when there is a lack of human connection, interpersonal skills, civility and collaboration, Kristy’s improv and professional life collided (in a good way). She developed a driving need to share the power of improvisation with the business world to help shift mindsets and cultures, and in 2009 she entered the world of Applied Improv, where she is now a Certified AI Practitioner Kristy’s work at BraveSpace is taking improv off the stage and into corp environments to help foster innovation, creativity, collaboration, new mindsets and a whole slew of critical communication skills needed in today’s ever evolving, tech driven, chaotic work climate.
