Looking for a unique communication skills training to help your teams to listen, connect and collaborate more effectively?

I’ve got you covered.

Do employee surveys point to a need for improved communication and teamwork overall?

Are you preparing for, or enduring the aftermath of a merger or restructuring? Now, do you have people who have to work together for the first time?

  • Do you have amazing talent across the board, but your teams are working in silos?

  • Are you looking to supercharge your next retreat with a fun and engaging communication training and team building activity, setting you up to have more productive conversations?

You’re in the right place

Let’s get your team learning through a full communication training program or an ad-hoc workshop

To help tackle your toughest interpersonal communication and teamwork challenges. What will make it work? Improv.

Using improvisation as a platform for interactive learning, we set a foundational agreement to:

  1. Say, “Yes, and” – this phrase forces us to actively listen and fully accept the ideas of others.

  2. Make each other look good – when we intentionally look for ways to let others use their skills and talents, we set each other up for success, and we all look amazing.

Improv is not about being “funny,” the goals are to listen, be present , and to create together. However, because of these rules we do end up laughing a lot! Research shows us that laughing together builds trust, helps us to deal with stress, and allows for more creative thinking. It has the ability to strengthen bonds and sync teams. Who couldn’t use more of that?!

Caitlin Drago - Inspire Improv and Coaching Founder - is smiling at the camera as she sits in a white chair. with a navy blue jacket and yellow top.

I spent most of my twenties working and studying in Los Angeles. When I wasn’t a comedy sensation on a major network sitcom by 27, it was time to move on, but I didn’t walk away empty-handed.

I knew that my knowledge in improvisation was something that could make a real impact with non-actors. With the improv experience and my leadership coaching certification in hand, I now pull from both worlds to make improv accessible to non-actors.  

It can be intimidating to learn by doing improvisation. Through thoughtful program design and a knowledge of differing learning and communication styles, I create a space where introverts and extroverts alike can interact and learn, taking away concrete tools that can be applied directly to the workplace.

Are you looking for a speaker for an upcoming event? I’m here for you!

 “Caitlin did a great job of creating a safe space and putting everyone at ease, especially for those who have not yet participated in an improv-style workshop. I was pleasantly surprised that even our more introverted team members fully participated and were brought out of their comfort zones in a safe space. We were all “allowed” to be silly and even in the very silly moments, it was still a productive workshop.”
