    This is a great and fun class! The instructor was very engaging and addressed our needs for coming to this class. My only critique is that this class should be at least a 5 weeks course since it takes time to cement and practice what we have learned. I had a lot of helpful take aways!

    Jill is amazing!! The class really helped me come out of my shell and made me more aware of how my inner dialogue affected my interactions with people on a daily basis. I highly recommend this course--I can't wait to take level 2!!

    I greatly enjoyed this three-week improv course for professionals. This is not a course specifically designed to teach public speaking or presentation skills. And it's not a course in comedy improv. This is a course in which you play different games to train your brain to accept/respond to unexpected situations, embrace uncertainty/failure and communicate in a truly collaborative way. That being said, the games enabled a lot of funny moments, and the instructor ensured the classroom was a safe space, with no right or wrong script for any particular game. Highly recommend this course if you are looking to find ways to communicate more effectively in your personal or professional life, whether in private or public conversations.

    I'm an intensely shy person and the teacher was so welcoming and level set every expectation. I felt so comfortable and excited about the tools provided, I lost my self-consciousness. That was the whole point of the program. It was fun and helped me gain more confidence. It definitely sparked my creativity! I highly recommend to everyone.
