Zach led an engaging and fun improv workshop at our quarterly team retreat, helping everyone relax, laugh, and connect in new ways.

Zachary's leadership training session based on the art of improv is fantastic! It was an amazing experience for the students -- highly engaging, dynamic, and, most importantly, impactful. I am confident that it will help them become better communicators and leaders going forward.
They explored the effect on the motivation of others that comes from responding to their input with "yes, and!" rather than "no" or "yes, but..."; the importance of self-confidence in inspiring confidence in others; the importance of setting your partners up for success; the vital role of adaptability and "rolling with the punches" of the uncertainties of life and leadership; and more. All essential skills for today’s business leaders.
Beyond the laughter and fun, though, our students gained valuable insights. Zachary's workshop taught them to trust their instincts, embrace uncertainty, and communicate more effectively. These lessons will undoubtedly enhance their self-confidence, presentation abilities, and leadership skills.

Zach has helped me overcome my initial fears of speaking in public. I am so grateful for the creative methods that he taught me which I am able to use before delivering any meeting to external stakeholders. For so many years throughout my career I've tended to shy away from being the one to present or speak up, but because of Zach's 1:1 training, now I feel more confident and calm.
