I have now had the opportunity to work with Nick two times for company team building events. The first time, I have to admit, I was pretty apprehensive about what the experience would be like, but Nick put us all at ease and made us recognize that there was no right or wrong in Improv or anything to clearly define good or bad – so we just needed to relax and let it happen. It was one of the most fun nights I’ve had in the past year – full of laughter and learning. It was such a good experience, I asked Nick back to facilitate an Improv event with a different team. As the point person for the event, Nick worked with me to identify the goals I had for the team building and effectively wove them into our event. Again, it was an excellent time for the team that helped us build trust and get more comfortable together. I would highly recommend Improv as a team building event, and specifically Nick as a facilitator.

Nick Trotter set up an unforgettable evening for my team, and we had a blast! We had a group of roughly 30 workmates who are coordinating changes across policies, processes, tools, and culture, and we were looking for a group activity that would enable us to have fun while also reinforcing how best to work with multi-functional, large-scale groups. After spending time talking with Nick, we knew he understood how to take these concepts and translate learning into fun activities. We certainly did not know what to expect, and our team was a mixture of folks who were “very nervous” and “can’t wait to get started.” Everyone learned something and were still talking about it the next day.

Nick Trotter has been an absolute joy to work with. I hired him to role play library patrons for a staff training on setting personal boundaries. He played various scenarios very convincingly and effectively. Nick added value to the training by sharing his observations of staff members’ body language and verbal cues, weighing in on how these impacted his reactions to the situations. The 50 attendees of the four sessions we held were appreciative of Nick’s skills, kindness, humor, and wisdom. I could not be happier with how our improv-format training went. I highly recommend Nick without reservation.
