In order for your company or organization to remain competitive, innovative, and successful, you must be ready to pivot, improvise, and embrace change.
WIT@Work will make sure you’re prepared. We offer team building and professional training services for businesses, government agencies, nonprofits, NGOs, and other entities in DC and beyond via in-person or online training sessions that can be fully customized to suit your needs.
Clients love our applied improv approach, which takes the tools and principles that improvisers use onstage to communicate, collaborate, and make you laugh, and applies them in the workplace. For example, how to adopt a “Yes, And!” mindset during negotiations or how to “listen down to the last word” in meetings.
We’ll teach you a range of surprisingly simple techniques that will transform how you engage with colleagues, constituents, or customers. And we’ll have fun while we’re at it!
Our clients love that no matter how serious their line of work, our training sessions are always enjoyable and informative!

What our clients say
“I’ve never, ever had an hour and forty-five minutes where I had more usable, resonant content for my work.”
—Howard Fertig, Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), the world’s largest HR association with +340,000 members
“I’ve already had a leader ask if we can bring you back in the future, multiple people messaged me to say they loved the session, and one person referenced what she learned as we were trying to determine the way forward with a design challenge in a later meeting,”
—Mandy Dorn, MedStar Institute for Innovation
“Of all the speakers we’d had that week (including Brené Brown) you were the favorite… there was an excitement and buzz after your block that I’ve never seen before.”
—Training organizer for the FBI’s Crisis Negotiation Unit
