From: Chad Elliot
So you want to break out of your shell, become more outgoing, learn to think on your feet... and you've always thought you couldn't. You've come to the right place!
Let me make this clear: being good at thinking on your feet is not about talent or luck or DNA.
Nope!
You have to do three things to become great at improvising under pressure:
- Let go of your old, outdated ideas about what you're capable of accomplishing.
- Learn the key secrets and skills.
- Practice those skills until you can do them easily.

"There are nothing but good things I can say about this wonderful teacher."
*George did eight hours of one-on-one improv coaching with Chad over the phone.

"A great way to develop yourself personally. I would recommend it to just about anybody."
Do the drills!
Get the skills!
That's all most things in life boil down to -- you get what you practice!
Why?
If you practice sitting on the sidelines, telling yourself you can't do it, criticizing yourself for every mistake... then you're building those as habits. But, you don't have to do that.
If you challenge your ideas about yourself, learn new skills and practice them, push your comfort zone and find out what you are capable of doing... You'll discover you have much more potential than you thought.
The key is that you have to learn what skills are important, and practice those skills in a step-by-step fashion.
Then, the rewards pay off for the rest of your life.
Why can these online classes change your life? You may find yourself applying your new improv skills to ace job interviews, get a promotion, talk to an attractive stranger, or just have more fun with friends. What would your life be like if you could relax and have fun in any social situation?
Think on your feet in any situation...
Become a more effective communicator...
Connect with people more easily...

"If you just want to do something fun, it's only positive. There are no negatives - there's nothing embarrassing about it."

“I wanted to personally thank you for your class and its role in my professional development. I set a goal earlier last year to be accepted into my company's global development program, which is competitive.
I achieved that goal! I am currently writing to you from our branch in Hamburg, Germany! I believe the boost of confidence the improv training gave to my presentation skills played a role in achieving that goal.”
Maria Stoica - Software Engineer II, Microsoft - Redmond, WA
"I've been working on a novel for six years. But a year ago I developed writer's block, and progress on my novel stopped dead in its tracks. My creativity was dried up. Then I signed up for your classes. After the first class, my creative juices got flowing. For the first time in a year, I could start to write again. Ever since then, I've been writing more of my novel every week."
What you gain from improv training:
Courage...
Creativity...
Confidence...
Communication...
“Being in a room full of strangers who were all very friendly and supportive really helped me to come out of my shell and be creative. I also had a lot of fun and met awesome people!”

Most people don't learn improv to become actors. They do it because it's a fun, exciting way to gain skills that make their lives better! Improv helps you:
- Think quickly, especially under pressure...
- Unleash your creativity so you are never at a loss for new ideas...
- Turn negativity and self-doubt into enjoyment and bull-dog determination...
- Develop effective people skills to become more successful in your business and personal life...
- Release limiting beliefs about what you can accomplish and who you are...
- Feel confident enough to enjoy public speaking...
- Prove you can do it despite all your previous doubts...
- Re-discover the playfulness and joy you had as a small child...
- And, much more...
How is that possible?
Because for decades, the techniques of improv have allowed millions of people, of all ages and backgrounds, to walk onto a bare stage and make up an entertaining scene. Without a script. Often in partnership with people they've never met. And, in front of a live audience.
That's a helluva tough challenge! You need amazing techniques and communication skills to pull that off. And, those skills need to be simple and easy enough for anyone to learn. Quickly.
WHAT ALL GOOD IMPROV TRAINING SHOULD INCLUDE:
- A clear, simple, step-by-step approach. Many teachers just throw a bunch of random improv games together and call it a class. I even heard a teacher with 30 years of experience say, "This game is fun, but I have no idea what it teaches." I call that shoddy teaching. Any good teacher should have a clear blueprint for how to take their students step-by-step to their goals.
- The teacher should adapt to the abilities and learning styles of the students. Just because someone is talented does not mean they are a good teacher. It's sad how often people form negative ideas about themselves -- when they just had a bad teacher. A good teacher adapts to the needs and learning styles of each student.
- They should explain how to apply what you're learning to your life. Many improv classes don't do this at all. Part of the joy of improv is using the skills all over your life. That can be tricky. A good teacher should be do it themselves and teach you how to do it, too.
- The teacher should create a warm and supportive environment for learning. Many people use improv as a powerful tool for overcoming fears and insecurities. It's how you can break out of your comfort zone. That's why it's vital the class be an environment where you feel safe and protected.
What are the skills you need to learn?
Okay, so now: what the heck are the skills you need?
- Ways to overcome stage fright and feel confident in the spotlight.
- How to project self-assurance and make a positive first impression.

Now, you may be wondering...
How long does it take to learn all that???
Excellent question!
The answer is that anything worthwhile in life takes some time and effort. If you're not willing to accept that, you'll miss out on a lot in life.
You can't expect to end up on Saturday Night Live after one improv class. Even an amazing one. But, you can expect to become much more comfortable thinking on your feet. You can expect to have a lot of fun. And, you can expect you'll use these skills in many situations to improve your life.
Learning all this can be made faster through good teaching. And good teaching is rare. It's common for people to take classes again and again and never gain all these skills. That's because of 3 reasons:
- Many of the ideas are not explained, are poorly taught, or are ignored entirely.
- Students aren't given enough hands-on practice with what they learn.
- The class lacks a system, so it never comes together into a complete method you can use in the real-world.
I've created a training that's an opportunity to speed up your learning...

"I recently attended an improv workshop led by Chad. I had zero prior experience, but it turned out to be a really fun way to get creative, bond with others, and challenge my own limitations. Really can't recommend him enough as a teacher / mentor and his way of making people feel included and comfortable."
Seattle, WA
"This was my second class with Chad, the first time I went, I felt a little nervous and uncomfortable being in front of a group, but Chad provided a warm and supportive atmosphere where I felt more at ease, and this last one I went to I felt a HUGE improvement in my comfort level and can't wait to come back for more!"
Kirkland, WA
From reserved to more ease communicating...
"I used to be very quiet and non-talkative. Chad has helped me open up more and to better communicate with the people in my life. I’ve gained a lot of experience on how to make conversations more fruitful and fulfilling. I would highly recommend his classes to anyone and everyone. Improv can help better many aspects of your life and it’s so much fun, too.

Q&A
Question: What if I have to miss a class?
Answer: That's totally fine, many people have to miss a class or two. I take that into account when designing the classes.. You'll still get a ton of benefit and have a wonderful time.
Question: What if English isn't my native language? I moved here a few months ago and speak it pretty well, but I'm still working on becoming 100% fluent.
Answer: That's totally fine! A few people have come to the classes as a way to get lots of practice with their English in a fun, stress-free environment. It's always a positive experience for them and everyone else.
Question: What if I'm super scared? I mean incredibly nervous. I mean terrified!
Answer: Almost everyone gets nervous before the classes. In fact, many people join the classes because they are nervous. They do it to overcome those old fears and gain more confidence. I used to get nervous, too. It's okay.
I designed the classes to make you comfortable very, very quickly. You'll discover you've forgotten to be nervous before we're even halfway through the first class, because you're having so much fun.
I know you may have some fears you're overcoming, so here are a few quotes to inspire you:
"Whether you think you can, or you think you can't--you're right!" -- Henry Ford
"Procrastination is opportunity's assassin." -- Victor Kiam
"Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure... than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat." -- Theodore Roosevelt
P.S.: Plus, you have my 100% guarantee. If you don't feel it's everything I say, you can have your money back. So, grab the bull by the horns and jump in!
