"Last week we held our 10th annual Tech Con which is an internal conference we host to provide professional/personal development opportunities. This year we had the honor to have Mary present Laughing for Leadership - Improving Leadership Skills with Improv Comedy. All I can say is WOW! This session was full of humor, interactive and tips that you can implement immediately. If you are looking to find ways to stretch yourself or your team do not look any further and book a workshop with Mary."
-Sarah K, Learning & Development Leader -
"Mary came to speak at our 2020 kickoff and took what was previously a dry day and made it something fun. The crowd was barely awake, and certainly not paying much attention to anything in particular before Mary took the Stage. She got people out of their seats, asking us to engage with ourselves and our colleagues in silly ways (associated with improv) and had the lot of us smiling and laughing by the end of her time. Mary reminded us that we're all humans who may be all too often closed off to new opportunities without even noticing it, and that with the right tools, being open and excited about new ways to grow and challenge ourselves was easy!"

"Mary's improv session at Agile2018....easily the most impactful of the conference for me. Mary took 100+ strangers and, through improv, we were able to improve communication, build trust, become better listeners, problem-solvers, gain confidence, and have fun while doing it! We laughed a lot, learned a lot and, when we walked away, many of us were no longer strangers. All of this in less than 2 hours. It was awesome!"
-Ryan M, Founder & Agile Coach
