Joe presented to our leadership team in June and provided the right balance of fun and energy in a short amount of time. Seeing others laugh and smile was contagious and allowed for ongoing discussions that day and several days to follow! The activities were simple yet meaningful in making a connection to having fun at work and coaching.

Learning to integrate improv into everyday life is refreshing! It encourages different perspectives and unleashes playfulness. Learning to laugh at oneself alongside others dismantles barriers to building more genuine connections.

Our team was a little skeptical about Improv, but yes, and came out with many positive takeaways. We really enjoyed the pace, not-too-frenetic and not-too-slow-to-be-boring. Reflections between activities really helped deepen team learning. Overall a very positive experience. I would strongly recommend for building trust and improving communication with your team.

Joe is ready for whatever the moment brings...we explored the serious, we celebrated the ridiculous. Working with Joe, I have learned that improv is a gateway to community-building, flexibility, and creativity. Through improv games I have gained greater self awareness, which has enhanced my relationships with my students, clients, and family. Joe is a compassionate and insightful coach. I highly recommend working with him.

Community is so important. Joe’s gifts are many and the energy he inspired in the workshop I attended....this is what our workplaces and the world need.

Joe listened to why we wanted a workshop, and then tailored a program to US. I participated in one of the 4 groups we set-up and I thought that it was really great. Taking fun interactive activities and tying them back to the workplace in a meaningful manner. Highly Recommend!

After working with Joe, we’ve noticed our staff is a bit more flexible and appreciative of each other. Highly Recommend!

It was a fun and safe environment to learn and experiment with failing forward. Joe would be great in targeted P.D. for education and in public speaking for students.

In just a short time of working with Joe, I see that by taking risk and not being afraid to fail can actually help me succeed further in life.

I came to the workshop with no ideas of what would take place, and the exercises we did helped reinforce how multi-tasking can affect productivity and how easily our minds can be reprogrammed. I look forward to working with Joe much more in the future; he has a lot to offer!

Great opportunity to get the wheels spinning about positive ways to harness the creativity of a collective group. So many ways the simple tools Joe introduced to us can be applied in our professional and personal lives. Fun and productive time!

Joe has helped me find my voice as a business owner and comedian. I’ve hired him as a coach for creative business meetings and to move me to the next level as a stand-up comic and improviser. Joe is a lifelong educator and his approach is careful and methodical. He gives helpful feedback and keeps his clients accountable to the risks they need to take to grow as creatives. Joe’s work is multidisciplinary and applies to achieving impact in both the business and theater worlds.
