  • Creative Improv Workshop: Have Fun While Learning All the Ways Improv Can Add Value to Your Life
    Description:
    Join us for a playful hour of improv exercises and ensemble-building—no experience needed! Through simple, energizing exercises, we’ll explore the power of heightened listening, trust-building, and the magic of saying “yes…and” to ideas on and off stage. Improv invites us to embrace the courage to fail, try again, and figure it out as we go—all while making our scene partners the star! Nick Maccarone is an actor, writer, filmmaker, producer, instructor, and the Co-Director of the BFA Acting Program at the School of Theatre at Florida State. He recently completed his feature film, Sonny Boy, which is currently being screened at film festivals across the United States. He is pursuing a master’s degree in the School of International Affairs at FSU.

Annual Events

Live Well Leon offers an annual Walking Challenge that also includes additional challenges within the Challenge to improve various areas of well-being, such as eating more fruits and veggies, getting more sleep, drinking more water, etc. Live Well Leon provides fitness watches to anyone that doesn’t have a fitness tracker to monitor their steps. Prizes are awarded by drawing the names of teams who have completed the Challenge, as well as those who started the Challenge but couldn’t finish it. (Life does get in the way of our intentions sometimes but making an effort counts!)

Each fall, the non-profit, Working Well, whose mission is to help improve the well-being of our community’s workforce, hosts their annual Corporate Cup Challenge. This Challenge encourages teams from local business and government organizations to get outside, do some team building and have fun! Teams of four compete, with one team member biking, one running, one paddling and one doing strength and endurance exercises. Only one team can take the coveted Corporate Cup back to their office for the year, but plaques are also awarded for the All Male, All Female and Co-Ed teams and the best individual efforts in each leg. Plus, there is a Spirit Trophy given to the organization that brings the most co-workers, family and friends to cheer their teams on. Live Well Leon is always looking for teams to participate in this fun event!

Each November, Leon County holds its Annual Awards Breakfast. Live Well Leon created the Well-Being Awards to honor the Leon County employee who has made the most improvement in each of the four areas of well-being our program focuses on. Employees can apply themselves or be nominated. The winners include:

  • The Lego Award for Community Well-Being
  • The Ladder Award for Career Well-Being
  • The Champion Award for Physical Well-Being
  • The Butterfly Award for Social Well-Being

The annual Live Well Leon Souper Bowl Cookoff started in 2013. The week before the annual Sunday Super Bowl, employees sign up to bring either a soup, stew, bisque or chili for the Cookoff. The employees rank all entrees and then a panel of three “celebrity” judges, decide which of the top five ranks 1st, 2nd, and 3rd! The judging was so archaic to begin with, that in year five, Mark Early, the Supervisor of Elections, who was a judge, offered for his office to create a special ballot just for the judging and even had a couple of his employees bring an official voting machine the day of the event for us to enter our ballots. The top three winners get a $75/$50/$25 gift card.
