WHY IMPROV WORKS
IMPROV WORKSHOPS are amazing tools to develop strong teams and leaders, replacing 1000s of books and lectures that merely discuss concepts, goals and techniques. Simply playing these games develops creativity, critical thinking, public speaking, self confidence, self awareness, listening, focus and more.
We use a version of these workshops to train team building, leadership, sales, customer service, conflict resolution, professional development for teachers, medical staff and more. Ideal for 5 to 30 participants, this workshop fits anywhere your team can stand in a circle including a small conference room or private home.
Our Guiding Principals
We start every educational workshop (and many of our murder mystery shows that require a bit of improv from the guests) with our three #1 concepts:
- Our #1 Rule HAVE FUN but never at another’s expense. Lead with a smile, and include everyone in your game. We create a fun safe space for all to play and thrive!
- #1 Rule in Improv YES AND…. Always say YES AND… follow up with words and actions to support the team. We focus on making oir team look amazing. We can let go of ego and insecurity because the whole team has our back. Ego & Insecurity destroys team, focus, sales, leadership, creativity and so much more.
- #1 Skill in Comedy: LISTENING Listen with your eyes. Listen with the willingness to change!
Improv 4 Leaders
Developing you listening, focus and confidence allows you to be come a leadership ninja. Serve your team’s. Don’t be a bad boss or mediocre manager. LEAD by example, give your team the tools they need to succeed and make your workspace a place where folks want to be.

Improv 4 Teams
The #1 Factor in Team Success is Psychological Safety. YES AND… Improv helps a team achieve this, training individual and team focus, communications and collaborations. We learn to trust each other and ourselves.
Improv 4 Sales
More and more, folks hate a sales script. We NEVER loved hard sales. With so many options, folks just leave when presented with old school used car sales tactics. Instead, treat your clients like their part of your team. LISTEN to their needs, YES AND… their wants. Learn to improvise off script so you can truly engage your clients.
Improv 4 Customer Service
The best marketing is great product and great service. Customer ser ice has to kead with a smile. If your service team e joys coming to work, they will enjoy providing great service. Great service is great sales. A great customer service experience is the difference between a bad YELP review and a lifetime loyal customer.
