Improv is a brilliantly effective way to build confidence and develop skills. It’s not about trying to be funny or cracking a joke at the expense of a teammate - improv uses games as a way to learn and develop. And it works fast.
Nervous on stage and don't want to be? Perhaps you're a seasoned speaker and want to see how to add more humour to your delivery. Or maybe you even want to add a TEDx talk to your bucket list. What I cover;
The humour muscles we develop on stage help off stage too. I look at how to use humour at work to confidence and achieve career goals.
I run practical, highly engaged improv game sessions covering themes such as communication, leadership and resourcefulness. These are designed to get teams on the same page, tailored for groups of 10-20 attendees. Half-day and full-day sessions available.
I deliver comedy and presentation skills sessions that have improvisation at their core. These sessions use humour to unlock creativity and build confidence. They can be face-to-face, online or hybrid.
I help develop talk's so they are not just engaging, but also entertaining. We look at the art of timing and delivery, honing your ability to hold an audience in the palm of your hand. We explore your content, hone ideas and how to pace yourself effectively when presenting.
Delving into the power of storytelling and how to craft narratives that resonate with your particular audience, whether you're delivering a stand-up routine or a business presentation.
There's a focus on building confidence and stage presence. Providing techniques to overcome stage fright, command attention comfortably, and deal with wandering attention spans.
It's all about discovering yourself and being authentic. Together, we find your unique voice and style, ensuring your performances or presentations are genuine and memorable.
