We're Vic and Paul.

We help teams and individuals to connect, collaborate and thrive, using applied improv.

IMG_0295.jpeg

For teams to connect and ideate, rebuild trust or simply find ways to work better together.

 

You'll experience shared laughter, deep listening and stronger collaboration. This isn't trust falls and awkward games - it's energising, effective activities, tailored to support your team’s dynamics and challenges.

For entrepreneurs and business owners who crave clarity on what they offer, who they best serve and how to connect the two.


You'll work with others to refine your niche, understand your client base and develop a message that feels true to you and resonates with them, via our bespoke improv toolkit.

For individuals and teams preparing to present, pitch or persuade: learn to speak with clarity, confidence and impact without sounding scripted.

 

You'll gain tools to communicate with purpose, think fast and show up as your best self - whether leading meetings, pitching or delivering a keynote.

What Business Challenges Do You Face?

In business, there are constant bumps in the road. It's hard to maintain balance of all the elements and stay human; stay connected. Whether you're part of a larger organisation, an SME or you're a solopreneur, you'll likely face challenges that need more than a spreadsheet or a PowerPoint presentation to overcome them.

At IMPROV Inc., we specialise in creating the best space and interpersonal dynamics to explore your unique problems differently - and to find creative solutions that work long-term.

We tend to serve two separate types of client:

1. SME owners and solopreneurs who need clarity on what their business proposition is and to therefore reveal the most tantalising and 'sticky' offer for their target audience. We get them there via joyful group workshopping and instilling top-tier presentation skills.
 

2. Larger corporates who know that investment in exploring and nurturing their staff's soft skills*, wellbeing, creative output, team consciousness, flow and ongoing resilience serves the company and the business best, every time.
(*we call them 'essential skills').

Do you feel like you're a person described below?

👤 You work in a large organisation and want your team(s) to interact or ideate better because their dysfunction is hurting the company. 
👤 You're in the position of being regularly required to present to a group or an audience and you're painfully aware that your stage presence is under par.

👤 You have an SME and struggle to articulate your work clearly - and therefore, your perfect clients are hidden from you (and you from them).
 

We understand. And, crucially, we've identified the need to approach the above issues with a different set of skills. The usual approach of a team-leader lecture or a chat with a colleague just won't cut it.

 

We help you tackle the business bumps in the road using improv comedy. Yup: comedy.

Why Improvisation?

There's a lot of consultants and coaches out there who support businesses to fulfill their potential. Not many of those coaches explore the possibilities using performance-based strategies. At IMPROV Inc., we combine stage skills, leadership training and behavioural psychology to build confident, connected and mentally agile individuals and teams.

Emerging studies* prove that hands‑on, movement‑based activities engage critical brain areas like the motor cortex, cerebellum and mirror‑neuron networks leading to boosted memory, learning and engagement.

(*researchgate.net: Neuroscience of Kinaesthetic Learning, 2024)

What does this mean? That moving around and interacting with others often makes us learn faster and more effectively than other learning techniques! In fact, improv has scientific basis that it improves resilience, agile thinking and creative solutions.

 

As such, we've developed a framework that blends joy, humour, neuroscience and the full scope of human interaction to create lasting change. Whether you’re wishing to navigate difficult dynamics, improve communication or develop leadership and teams, we’ll help you get there.

Once the understanding is in place, all it takes is some repetition! Sorted.

Why Improv Works in Business

Applied improvisation blends play and psychology to shift habits, unlock creativity and build stronger teams.
It helps people stay present, listen actively and respond with confidence in real time. Our training is grounded in neuroscience, emotional intelligence and real-world team dynamics and delivered with humour, humanity and heart.

The Science of Learning by Doing

If you want training that sticks, you need more than a slideshow. Our approach is rooted in kinaesthetic learning, the proven power of learning by doing.

Studies show that when people physically engage with ideas, they retain them longer and apply them better. Hands-on experience leads to deeper understanding, stronger emotional connection, and practical recall under pressure.

We blend experience and reflection, helping participants embed insights they’ll remember and use in the real world, not just the training room.
