Barb Klansnic, Julie Huffaker and Laura Faye Smith are back at PCS’ GreenHouse School of Theater to offer Portland business professionals a unique opportunity. Barb, Julie and Laura teach our popular three course Art of Business sequence including classes on how best to manage conflict, improve communication, and polish presentation skills. These classes utilize performance techniques, improvisation, and basic acting excercises to help anyone through those daily “performances” in the office. Here’s what students from such businesses as Nike, Comcast, OHSU, American Express, Intel and KeyBank had to say.

“Julie, Barb and Laura were really great at making everyone feel at ease. No judgments. They encouraged us to try, to fail, to learn, to succeed.”
“I have come away with several concrete ideas to “shake up” poor communication patterns in my immediate work environment.”

“Instructors were great and well prepared. I would definitely take classes with them again and would recommend them highly.”

“These classes helped me work outside of the box. I was totally out of my comfort zone & it was great.”

“I know that training like this helps get people out of their boxes, stimulates creative flow, and can help everybody in the workplace.”

Check out Barb Klansnic, Julie Huffaker, and Laura Faye’s outstanding biographies, and a detailed description of courses in “The Art of Conflict”, “The Art of Communication”, and “The Art of Presentations” here.
