Corporate Courses
For 5+ years, Amanda has been one of NYC’s go-to teachers for corporate improv workshops! She was most recently honored as a guest speaker for Flybridge Founders Week. She also regularly teaches an Improv for Communication Skills course at the Brooklyn Brainery and for Basta, a program preparing first-generation college students to enter the job market. Over the years, she’s found that improv comedy skills are endlessly applicable to the contemporary work environment. Through the concepts of “Yes and”, you can learn how to communicate more efficiently cross-functionally and authentically, grow your creativity, and even empower your team to tell the story of their business as if it’s their own.

“Amanda’s Improv Workshop has been a seminal experience in Basta’s signature fellowship program for first generation college students. The improv experiences Amanda so thoughtfully creates are truly instrumental in encouraging fellows to step outside their comfort zones and think on their feet—two of the very things we ask them to do when they engage in professional networking experiences. Because of the inclusive and affirming space Amanda establishes, fellows are eager to give it their all. After each round of activities, Amanda is intentional about connecting the experience to its real world application—-investing fellows in “the why” as she does. We always look forward to welcoming her in our sessions, seasonally, and the fellows always remark on this as being a transformational moment in their fellowship journey! ”
