Mark DeCarlo Biography

Best-Selling author and comedic Host/Emcee for Award Galas, National Sales Meetings, Motivational/Sales Leadership Junkets and his “IMPROV for BUSINESS” Leadership Development & Creative Group Dynamics team building workshops, three time Emmy Award winning comedian and TV personality [Seinfeld, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Travel Channel, Jimmy Neutron Boy Genius) Mark DeCarlo performs on-message Safe for Work comedy and teaches workshops to increase the value of a diverse work force by empowering team members to excel creatively through improvisational techniques and communication.

The word "Improv" inspires terror in the hearts of most corporate employees. But by utilizing the basics of this creative technique, organizations can maximize the creative potential of the diversity locked inside of every team member, avoid objective-thwarting judgment and negativity, and create more cohesive and productive work groups. And it's the most fun you'll ever have at a corporate meeting. When desired, the training concludes with a comedy show, performed by team members along side executives, respectfully lampooning every aspect of your diverse corporate culture and deepening their shared sense of purpose and commitment.

Too often, tasked with finding innovative ways to problem solve or create new assets, campaigns and products, work groups grind to a halt due to the corporate equivalent of writer's block. This is often the result of an antiquated hierarchy of Top-Down Management that fails to recognize and value diversity and input from junior or marginalized team members who are inhibited from voicing dissenting opinions or suggesting 'out there' new ideas for fear of rejection or ridicule.

By teaching the basics of non-judgemental IMPROVISATION for BUSINESS, DeCarlo is able to unleash a creative tsunami - coaxing great ideas - and a bunch of rotten ones - from team members who had previously not been utilized to their fullest potential.

"Green Hat" ideation, "Yes And" problem solving, creative product development and fun - and funny- role-playing are among the tools DeCarlo employs to transform underperforming individuals and groups into creative juggernauts who learn to thrive by trusting each other. These tools result in more engaged, nuanced communication and increased productivity that rewards and nurtures employees by developing future leaders from within, resulting in higher job satisfaction and creativity.

In DeCarlo’s CURATED BUSINESS TRAVEL talk, he explores how corporate travel has changed post-Covid and how organizations can extract maximum value by spending less, smarter.

Post-Covid, business travel is back, but its not the same. Emmy Award winning Travel Channel host and Amazon Best Selling Travel and Foodie Author DeCarlo demonstrates ways to combine productive business travel with interesting experiences that take the grind out of travel and put it back where it belongs - in your coffee cup.

Adding curated excursions and industry-aligned experiences to business travel enhance team member's enjoyment and productivity while out of the office. Mark outlines the basics of how to structure out-of-office time to maximize productivity, communication and loyalty.
