"Jay did a phenomenal job from the second we hired him. From the preliminary call of understanding our goals, through the completion of the two hour session. He kept my team engaged, enthusiastic and at-ease throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend an exercise like this to anyone who wants to re-energize their team in a positive and fun way.”

"Jay is an extraordinary teacher. I think it must be rare for someone to have his level of talent and at the same time be a caring, nurturing and supportive teacher…[with a] high standard of ability and professionalism.”

"I really had a great time that evening. I didn't think I could exert that much energy in 2 hours....[Jay] held the group's attention throughout the whole workshop. This I think is one of his greatest assets. He knew how to bring out the best in us and also bring some of the more introverted individuals out. Jay kept the fun level up and knew how to use the individuals’ strength to maintain the group’s energy. Each mini session was kept to the right amount of time and was easy to understand even for some of us who did not have English as our first language. Overall, [the] workshop had us talking about it for the few days ahead and some of us might even sign up for even more fun and frolics."

"I absolutely loved having Jay as a teacher. As a first timer in doing anything improv related, I was extremely nervous and Jay did such a great job in alleviating those nerves. He was always positive and he made the class enjoyable. The energy that he gave off every single class showed how much he cared about his students."

"As a growing business with many new team members learning to work together, taking an improv class from Jay Rhoderick was just what Pearlfisher needed. When we came into the class we were a group of strategists, designers and managers; when we left, we had become a team of friends. And while there is definitely an undeniable magic to improv, I doubt the class would have been as effective were it not for Jay's expertise, good humor and patience. With every zip-zap-zoom, imaginary bus ride and role playing (or any other ice-breaking, courage building games) I could see my colleagues interacting with each other in a deeper way: connecting with non-verbal trust, sharing in a creative exploration.

Today, we are a more aligned team than we were before, our creativity is regarded as a group activity, and our innovation sessions both in house and with clients are more efficient - thinking not only outside the "box," but beyond it. For these reasons, we recommend Jay and his improv methods for any business - growing, grown, or just looking to strengthen - that wants to bring their team together for a fun time that will change them immeasurably."
