FAQs

What sets you apart from other workshop facilitators?

Most workshop facilitators teach collaboration. I show what it looks like, sounds like, and feels like to collaborate together. Through improv exercises rooted in organizational psychology, your team shifts their mindset from "that won't work" to "let's explore that" in real time. They stop talking about innovation and start living it and experience breakthrough moments and skills that stick long after I'm gone.

What's the ideal audience for you workshops?

My workshops are tailored so that any industry and organization can learn from them. Workshops are geared towards groups that have more time together for training and team bonding. 

How long are your workshops?

My workshops can be delivered in half day, full day, or two days retreats. 

How far will you travel for a workshop?

I'm based in Dallas/Fort Worth and have delivered keynotes and workshops all over the world. For events within 30 miles of DFW, there is no additional travel fee. For all other locations, travel will be negotiated with the event fee. 

What are your requirements for a workshop?

We need space to move around. Any conference room or open space will work. A wireless, handheld is preferred, but not required and depending on the room size, often not necessary.
