Corporate Workshops

I use my experience as a professional improviser to direct communications and leadership workshops for a variety of organizations, including Cossette, Jackman Reinvents, Hino Motors, Magna, The Ontario Ministry of Energy, Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment, Campfire Circle and The Ontario AIDS Network.Using improvisational exercises, teams learn crucial skills for listening, risk-taking, leadership, and the power of saying YES. My approach is unique in its ability to impart these lessons in a way that’s kinetic and fun, leaving teams with renewed trust, increased confidence, and the tools to lead a culture of risk-taking, openness and intentional communication.
