After studying at Oxford, Robert worked in a number of London best and most colourfully named advertising agencies before leaving to travel the world.
He ended up in Spain, from where he never quite made it home. A serendipitous meeting (in Portland, Oregon) gave him away to make work into play (and play into work). The result was On Your Feet, which uses ideas and methods derived from improv theatre to help people work together better.
Robert Poynton is an Associate Fellow of Oxford University’s Saïd Business School where he contributes, using improvisation, to a number of executive leadership programmes.
