1. Introduction to Improv
Our first session is all about building a strong foundation. We believe this is an essential part of both improv and coaching. So we’ll look at how we can establish trust and safety with our clients, how we co-create the relationship, and we’ll do exercises that help us maintain presence.
2. Being Present
This session is all about being present, active listening, and co-creation. We’ll look at how we maintain presence and how we can create from it. We’ll play games that focus on active listening, which will also help us to be curious, manage our judgement, and stay in connection with our clients.
Peer Coaching Practice
Practise your improv coaching skills with your peers. You can schedule the coaching sessions at a time that works for you and your coaching partner.
3. Storytelling & Metaphors
Let’s make it more interesting! We’ll work with metaphors and storytelling, creating stories and images together. We’ll also look at the impact of the language we use and how we can choose our words to write our own life stories and create new perspectives.
Peer Coaching Practice
Practise your improv coaching skills with your peers. You can schedule the coaching sessions at a time that works for you and your coaching partner.
4. Completion & Celebration
Just like with coaching journeys, we’d like to close our Improv for Coaches with a celebration and look at how far we’ve come. There will also be time for questions and requests – we can play new games or go back to your favourite games and play them again. Improv games, just like coaching sessions, are never the same.
Improv for Trainers and Facilitators
To really get your message and course objectives across, it’s essential that you connect to your audience and your co-facilitator. Come play with us and learn how you can create impactful training sessions that respond to the needs of your audience, while also having lots of fun. Build your confidence to dance in the moment, connect with your co-facilitator, and create a little bit of magic in the training room.

What coaches say
Testimonials
Hi, I’m Su Mee
Coach. Trainer. Improviser.
I used to plan everything, including my coaching sessions. I’d get nervous if I didn’t know what topic or emotion a client would bring to a session, and I’d be stuck in trying to remember the tools and structures I learned in my coaching training. Until I found improv.
Improv taught me to really be in the moment, to dance with whatever is thrown my way, to listen, to connect, and to trust my intuition. And all this while being playful and having fun. I’ve poured all of this into my Improv for Coaches workshops and hope to bring that fun to you and your coaching too.
