"Improv Alchemy's work with our rookie players is an important part of our life skills programming. Lainie's workshops allow athletes to safely come out of their comfort zones and experience themselves, and each other, in a different way. Players tap into skills that allow them to adapt and adjust to anything, which is important in the demanding world of professional athletics. Using improv games and exercises, she also creates an environment that fosters conversation and allows players to make discoveries about themselves and life. The interactive workshops she facilitates are highly supportive of an athlete's growth and development."

− Jameel McClain, Director of Player Engagement - Baltimore Ravens

"The workshop Improv Alchemy facilitated was a fun and genuine experience that changed my outlook immediately. The connections of improv to my work helped me reflect on the way I communicate with my staff and how to make adjustments to bring about positive change. The games and exercises safely took me out of my comfort zone and I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly they brought down the walls, allowing us to speak frankly and honestly about our work. I absolutely believe all leaders can benefit from this type of workshop after experiencing how it brings about positive change and thought-provoking possibilities."

− Cesar Cedillo, Operational Superintendent - Denver Public Schools

"Improv Alchemy's athlete development services are an integral part of our Player Engagement programming. Their workshops rapidly remove walls that may exist between players, allowing the group to make connections and build relationships more quickly. They create an environment where players can be themselves and make their own learning discoveries, which is key to their personal development. Improv engages players in a unique way, which allows us to learn more about them in the workshops. We are incorporating Improv Alchemy's services into more of our programming this year to support not only the players but also their families. "

"As consultants, we connect with clients and coworkers in a broad range of situations, from one-on-one meetings to large group facilitation. I asked Lainie to help us deepen our skills and give us additional tools for working in dynamic environments. Lainie did a terrific job tailoring improv content to my team's needs - giving us practice at reading the room, hearing the offer, and building a virtuous "Yes, and" cycle. I wholeheartedly recommend her for helping your team 'sharpen the saw' and work on their communication skills!"

− Cameron Ward-Hunt, Director - Guidehouse

"The team building workshop Lainie conducted with my company immediately renewed our energy, increased camaraderie, and established deeper relationships between team members who'd been working together for a long time. It also supported the integration of a new team members in a fun, interactive, and engaging way that helped everyone to understand each other on another level. Through group exercises and dialogue, we enlarged our toolbox to work with each other more effectively and with our clients. Lainie's knows her stuff and we will definitely use her again."
