Andrew creates and delivers out of the box experiential workshops, team events and creative content employing re-emerging learning and change methods that engage groups of people to ‘click’ to new growth, learning, thinking, attitudes and behaviors, in themselves and with each other.



Andrew has worked with executives to front line staff in the private and public sectors in organizations across industries.



Andrew is lately being contracted to make training and learning more lively and engaging and has been asked to create a virtual team based simulation game. On the lighter side, Andrew also produces videos for training and marketing purposes, a natural fit with his improv theatre background.

How Andrew can Help You

Clients I’ve served in Canada, the US and emerging economies in Eastern Europe have many needs such as becoming better collaborators and creative problem solvers, meeting their team development goals and improving their flexibility of response. Improv at work’s recent clients include the Ministry of Citizenship and Immigration – Government of Ontario, Kimberly Clark, USC Education Savings Plans, Global Payments Canada.



Improv at Work has expanded, by client request, to include Being in the Moment, a Power Hour training or Experiential Key-note that provides leaders and teams a simple, easy and highly productive way to handle that sense we’ve all experienced of getting one’s “buttons pushed” at work. Through this workshop, it is possible to become more responsive and less reactive, and focus attention on constructive action and not inadvertently turn situations or people into “a problem”. I am excited to be releasing my new work Being in the Moment to organizations now. These include, Baker & McKenzie, Transport Canada, the WSIB and others.
