Improv for business, taught by people who've done it for decades.
Workshops, coaching, keynotes and shows for teams that want to listen better, think faster and work together like they mean it. You'll laugh too.
That part isn't optional.
Our instructors trained and taught at UCB and Second City. We work anywhere in the US, in person or virtual.
A core belief in improv and why improvisers aren't held back by perfectionism or the fear of failure.
Infused throughout our work.
Pick what fits your group.
Not sure which one you need? Tell us about your team and we'll point you to the right one. (Plenty of clients mix two. A keynote in the morning and workshops in the afternoon is a popular day.)
Communication, collaboration, agility, listening and confidence training, built on a foundation of team building fun. Every exercise is a game first and a lesson second, so your people practice skills kinetically, instead of nodding through slides.
Best for: training days, leadership retreats, teams that need to communicate better
The only fun one. Improv games that get coworkers laughing, loosen up the room and help people actually get to know each other. Nobody gets singled out but everyone has a great time building unforgettable memories.
Improv was made for objections. Our founder was a top ad salesperson at The New York Times, so this is sales training your reps will actually use on their next call.
Best for: sales kickoffs, new rep onboarding, client facing teams

Executive coaching, built on improv
Most executive coaching is a lot of talking about talking. Ours is actual practice. Along with strategizing, reflection, and guidance our executive coaching program allows you to rehearse the hard moments with a coach who reacts like a real colleague. This unique approach uses repetition to truly sharpen your interpersonal skills while reducing the performance anxiety that comes with leadership.
In person in New York City and Washington, DC. Virtual anywhere else.
Executive Presence Coaching
For the moments that count: board meetings, investor pitches, the all hands where everyone's watching. Learn to hold a room without performing for it.
Executive Communication Coaching
Most communication coaching is about talking. Ours starts with listening. Read the room, connect fast and respond to what's actually happening instead of what you planned.
There Are No Mistakes
For leaders who rehearse every sentence and still feel unready. Improv's first rule, applied to how you decide, recover and lead when the plan falls apart.
