Workshop Information


Keynote and Emcee: Milo Shapiro ~ 'STARS'

Location: Student Center   
     
After 12 years of computer programming and system analysis for S.D.G.& E. and Sempra, Milo took a huge leap into the world of performing, teaching, and keynoting based around the art of IMPROVISATION.
      Walking away from the security of Sempra was by far the most difficult choice of his life, he says, but he'd had too many people telling him that he was missing his true calling: his passion for improvisation. Upon venturing out, he first created the teambuilding and communication course "TEAMprovising" using improvisation to teach concepts of listening and building upon the ideas of others...while everyone has fun in the process.
Milo will discuss the importance of personal and professional development and announce the kick-off of the new S.T.A.R.S. (Staff Training and Readiness Seminars) staff development program designed by  your classified peers; representing Cuyamaca, Grossmont & the District Offices.
