What is the Meisner Technique? What sets Black Box corporate workshops apart?

The Meisner Technique is an acting method that is rooted in the ability to read human behavior. Our corporate training adapts this technique to strengthen emotional intelligence and teach business professionals to use the ability to read behavior in the workplace. From closing deals to maintaining the organizational health of your team, our training is applicable across industries.

Building from this foundation in Human Behavior, our trainees learn to own their voices, take risks, and tackle challenges creatively.

Our corporate training workshops range from half-day to full-week and are always customized to meet the specific needs of each team we work with. We can come to your office or we can host you in our space.
