Why Improv?

  • Elevate Collaboration, Communication, and Leadership

    At ImprovMindset™, 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.

  • 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.

  • Motivation and Leadership

    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.

  • "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."

    Program Support Manager, WA State ESD

  • "​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."

    Microsoft Project Manager - Exchange Team

  • "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."
