Gee gives fun business perspective

Saint Mary’s welcomed workshop facilitator, improv actress and alum Sarah Gee to campus on November 1 to discuss “How to Survive and Prepare for the Business World in Today’s Economy.”

Gee, a 1995 graduate, has a unique background — serving as both a senior facilitator of MJ Learning, a full-service management training company, as well as a long-time improv actress with The Second City of Chicago (through which she has worked with Martin Short, Tina Fey and Eric Idle).

She is also the co-author of “Business Improv,” a book that blends experiential learning and the improvisation activities practiced in the world of theatre into a collection of activities designed to get people engaged, and to help them overcome the many obstacles and barriers that get in the way of creative problem-solving discussions.

The public presentation was sponsored by the Saint Mary’s Business Office.
