Joel helps executives become more empathetic leaders and reluctant team members become confident collaborators.
He is a Second City Advanced Conservatory alum and has been a performer and instructor with improv troupes Theatre Shmeatre and The Back Alley Players. Joel has taught film, T.V. and improv acting in Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver & Los Angeles and uses these techniques to break down barriers, foster trust, and set the stage for innovation.
Whether you're a government organization, Fortune 500 or a startup, prepare for an encore performance in teamwork.
With Joel, "Yes, and..." is only the beginning.
"Insightful!"
"Engaging!"
"Aha Moments!"
"Fresh Approach!"
"Critical Skills!"
"Yes AND!"
“I had the pleasure of attending Joel's training on difficult conversations. Throughout my professional career I have attended numerous trainings, but this was the most engaging, energetic, and impactful session by far. The ENTIRE room was participating through a fresh, new approach to teaching critical soft skills.”
From "Difficult Conversations" Workshop
"I attended several sessions at the Conference, yes AND, I enjoyed and got the most out of yours — with its fun and interactive improv exercises using volunteers from the audience.”
