Kick off #Regatta2025 with an improv workshop designed to break the ice and get you in the mindset of connection! At Regatta, we know that relationships are the true currency, and this session sets the tone for authentic, meaningful interactions right from the start.

Through storytelling, role-playing, and playful exercises, you’ll tap into spontaneity, active listening, and collaboration—key ingredients for building real connections. No experience needed, just bring an open mind, jump in, and say "Yes, and..." to new people and new possibilities!

WHAT IS A CO-STORM? The CO-STORM™ is a think tank designed to be your personal board of directors for life and work.

The success of the CO-STORM relies in part on YOU. 

The concept behind the CO-STORM is about how much we’re able to see for each other that we don’t see for ourselves.

Fresh eyes see our blind spots and filters. They also mirror back to us what’s really going on. There’s a creative back and forth energy in getting outside your own head. A CO-STORMER’S insight can clarify what steps to take next, highlight your strengths, and make you pay attention to what should happen naturally.

WHAT THE SESSION LOOKS LIKE:
We start the session with an introduction to CO-STORMING, instructions, and an overview of our time together. Then we pair you off in groups of three or four. Your group will go off for a 90-minute CO-STORM session. During this session, each participant will have time for an introduction and a chance to discuss their most pressing pain point, project, or idea. Your CO-STORM partners will brainstorm with you on solutions. In the end, we will gather together and recap.

WHAT ARE THE RESULTS?
Bring your challenges, ideas, prototypes…or just an empty notebook, and get ready to take the next step.

You will get new perspectives and confidence to move forward with your project, which might mean ditching plans and go in a totally different direction. No matter the outcome, we guarantee you will already be taking steps in the right direction.

I truly believe we’ve got great energy going in our community you’re not going to find anywhere else…hitch a ride on that energy! - Melody Biringer
