Elevate Collaboration, Communication, and Leadership Through Improv
At Improv Mindset, we help teams break down barriers, build trust, and enhance communication—all while having fun! Using techniques from professional acting and improvisation, our interactive workshops provide a fresh, engaging approach to team building. Whether your team is in leadership, sales, customer service, or a creative field, our sessions create a dynamic environment that fosters adaptability, listening, and quick thinking.

Why Improv for Team Building?
Great teams thrive on trust, clear communication, and the ability to adapt. Improv training strengthens these skills by encouraging collaboration, active listening, and creative problem-solving in real time. Participants learn to embrace uncertainty, respond effectively under pressure, and support one another—key qualities of high-performing teams.

IMPROVMINDSET can help you use the skills of trained actors to motivate your employees and bring people into your vision to effectively LEAD. It doesn’t take years to master - the exercises and workshops are made to demystify the magic that makes people listen and connect to a vision or goal, and bring their full selves to work.

Reviews:
"Andrew masterfully Andrew masterfully addresses the common pitfalls we all face when it comes to truly listening. His storytelling draws you in, seamlessly weaving relatable examples with practical advice."

It was a completely fantastic adventure having Andrew facilitate a team building (half-day training) for a highly stressed but highly motivated and passionate team of 20. I was looking for a variety of items to be provided/addressed with the team and Andrew not only was able to successfully take all of my thoughts and concerns and turn it onto a delightfully engaging event. He was also able to re-kindle the fire in team members who at times have expressed feeling burned out."

In 10 years at Microsoft (and plenty of other places before that), I have never experienced a more effective session, and got universal positive feedback on anything of the sort. Most people endure “soft skills” training; in your case, they engaged, learned and all raved about it, as did I."

Andrew kept the energy feeling good and the pace worked well. Material was present in a fun way but also in a way that got people excited that they were learning useful skills to use in their everyday life."
