FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • We get it, for those who think improv is for actors or comedians, it can be a news to them that improv has incredible benefits for business.

    We suggest telling them this:

    If your team isn’t communicating well…

    If you want to help your company develop skills to work together more effectively…

    If you want to help employees gain confidence to share their ideas…

    (or any of the other benefits we’ve listed)


    Then you should bring improv to work!

    An improv session with iMERGENCE can help teams improve in all these areas and more. We can focus on brainstorming, creative collaboration, presentation skills, active listening, and help improve the ability to think on your feet.

    Everyone can benefit from a session. Truly, everyone: C-suite, management, cross-team communication, sales, marketing, introverts, bossy team members, people whose first language is not English, client relations. Literally everyone, you get the idea! Every corporate session and workshop is customizable!

    You can direct them to our CLIENT page or TESTIMONIALS page to show them other businesses that have transformed working with us.

    IF IT HELPS, we are always available to get on a call with your supervisor or whomever has the final say.

  • We can come to you, you can come to us, or we can meet virtually over Zoom!

    In-person sessions work best when there is an open space where participants can move freely and stand in a circle. So depending on what type of space your office has, we can help you determine if we come to you or you come to us.

    We can also do sessions virtually with either each different location on a Zoom or each participant on their own personal computer.

    We have studios in New York City and Los Angeles. However, we can design programs anywhere you are.

  • While there are many personal development options out there, few are able to deliver an experiential-based approach to learning like improv does. IMERGENCE provides an interactive experience that gets participants using their creativity in ways that you simply can’t get from a PDF or presentation. Participants learn by DOING. Valuable life, communication and teamwork skills emerge from improv – listening without an agenda, pivoting, taking care of the whole, emotional intelligence and awareness. After learning improv, team members gain confidence using these skills because they’ve practiced and experienced them.

  • Most definitely! We often travel all over the U.S. and the globe leading trainings for companies of any size.

  • Good question and YOU BET! As a matter of fact, what makes our trainings not only extremely popular, but also highly successful is the fact that they are also fun. The fun allows everyone to relax, let down their guard, and play. It allows the valuable lessons to land in a deeper place.

    Our facilitators are experts and delivering important tools and insights while keeping it light and engaging. We call it our secret weapon of “kale in the brownie!”

  • While your teams will have a great time and there will be lots of laughter, these are not comedy classes.

    We have spent over a decade refining our approach to ensure improvisation is the means, not the end goal.

    We use the tools of improv to facilitate a powerful process, helping professionals build essential skills like listening without an agenda, embracing ambiguity, and strengthening collective collaboration through a growth mindset. It is not about being funny on stage; it is about building the emotional intelligence and agility necessary to succeed in today's business world.

    You will walk away with a practical, professional toolkit for meetings, pitches, and presentations.

What kind of challenges can your workshops help us solve?

Our sessions are a perfect fit whenever you need to shift the energy or deepen how your team works together. While they are a natural way to energize an offsite (with absolutely no powerpoints in sight), they are also ideal for:

  • Developing Leadership with Heart

  • Elevating Storytelling & Sales

  • Fueling Innovation

I’m not the decision-maker unfortunately. Can you help with that?

Most definitely! We got you! We are happy to hop on calls with leadership to elaborate on the benefits of improv, how our sessions work, and how the skills we teach will leave a lasting impact on your organization.

We have a massive group with a dense agenda. How do you keep the energy from crashing?

Our facilitators are experts at reading the room; if the energy dips, they pivot instantly with activities that re-engage every attendee.

It is a flexible, plug-and-play experience that ensures your audience stays focused and energized, helping make your retreat or conference a huge hit!

Is this too "risky" for a professional conference or a serious leadership retreat?

Booking something outside the box can feel risky, but we take the gamble out of it. Our workshops use the structured iMERGENCE Methodology to blend high-energy fun with practical business training, ensuring a professional environment where even skeptics feel comfortable participating.

We deliver a reliable, plug-and-play experience designed to land perfectly with any group size.
