I genuinely love helping teams rediscover how to enjoy working together.
Using Applied Improv — which adapts improvisational principles into practical workplace tools — I teach skills like deep listening, adaptability, collaborative problem-solving, and building on each other’s ideas instead of shutting them down. Yes, there’s laughter (and quite a bit of it), but there’s also neuroscience behind why it works. Humor lowers stress, increases retention, and strengthens trust.
This isn’t about turning your team into performers. It’s about helping people feel safer contributing, more confident speaking up, and more connected to each other.
Ideal for: Leadership retreats, HR initiatives, culture-building workshops, conference breakouts.
Outcome: Teams communicate more openly, collaborate more fluidly, and leave with tools they can use immediately.
I believe creativity is not a luxury — it’s oxygen.
As a lifelong cartoonist, illustrator, and animator, I’ve seen how creative thinking unlocks clarity. When people draw ideas, sketch concepts, or reframe problems visually, something shifts. Walls come down. Energy rises. Solutions appear.
Too many professionals quietly believe they’re “not creative.” I love proving them wrong.
This work helps teams think differently, communicate more clearly, and reconnect with curiosity — which is often the first casualty of stress and routine.
Ideal for: Innovation sessions, strategic planning days, creative departments, cross-functional team workshops.
Outcome: Teams leave with renewed creative confidence and practical tools for generating ideas and communicating them visually.
Improvisation teaches something powerful: you don’t control what happens next — you control how you respond.
That principle has shaped my life as an entrepreneur, facilitator, and human being.
In this work, I focus on helping leaders become more adaptable, more present, and less reactive when plans shift (because they always do). We explore listening without defensiveness, responding instead of reacting, and building on ideas rather than blocking them.
Adaptability isn’t chaos. It’s a skill. And it can be learned.
Ideal for: Manager development programs, executive retreats, change initiatives, growth-stage teams.
Outcome: Leaders gain practical frameworks for navigating uncertainty with steadiness and clarity.
Caregiving is one of the most human experiences we go through — and one of the least talked about in professional settings.
I’ve walked alongside my mother, both of my in-laws, and a close friend as part of their care teams. I’ve developed and facilitated workshops for dementia caregivers, and I continue this work as co-founder of Yes AND Care, where we combine empathy, improvisational tools, and practical communication strategies to support people navigating cognitive change and those dedicated to giving them they care they need.
This isn’t abstract to me. It’s lived.
When I work with healthcare organizations, caregiver groups, or workplaces supporting employees balancing career and caregiving, the conversation becomes real — grounded in compassion, clarity, and resilience.
Ideal for: Healthcare organizations, senior service providers, HR teams, caregiver support groups, senior communities.
Outcome: Participants feel seen, equipped with communication tools, and less alone in navigating caregiving realities.
This is one of my favorite intersections.
Across many faith traditions — and across secular philosophy as well — you’ll find common themes: listening deeply, responding generously, embracing humility, extending grace, building community.
Improvisation trains those same muscles.
I’ve developed and taught a course called Our Improvisational God and led many workshops for churches, seminaries, retreats, and learning communities exploring how improv principles illuminate spiritual growth and shared humanity. My approach is thoughtful, inclusive, and intentionally welcoming — focused not on doctrine or politics, but on the relational wisdom that traditions hold in common.
This work isn’t about ideology. It’s about becoming more attentive, compassionate, and responsive to one another.
Ideal for: Church retreats, interfaith gatherings, seminaries, campus ministries, faith-adjacent leadership programs.
Outcome: Participants deepen their understanding of connection, humility, and collaborative living across differences.
