From freshmen to transfer, international, and graduate students, these are individuals in the midst of a significant life transition. Nathan’s workshops can help break down barriers and create a comfortable, inclusive, open-minded learning environment. The students might be a bit anxious, but their minds are fertile ground for the core skill that improvisation cultivates: adaptability and the art of embracing change.
Improv is all about adapting and pivoting…fast. Nathan’s programs are designed to teach the innovation process while engaging every student who walks in the door.

“Nathan was an excellent public speaker and brought a lot of energy to the event.”
“I learned that it’s okay to feel a bit uncomfortable and get outside of your comfort zone. That is where the learning begins. It was a great experience and our staff had fun, learned some new communications skills, and got to know our co-workers better.”
“Nathan was very energetic and spoke in a very casual way while remaining professional. He was very prepared, made it personal, and made the audience feel comfortable.”
Everything was entertaining, and I learned how to have more positive & inclusive conversations with my colleagues.
“I now have more confidence in my communication skills. And I’ll be more mindful when listening to someone without cutting them off or nodding my head too much. I liked the variety of activities that are built on one another. I think by the last exercise we were very prepared to sell our odd objects!”
