    I had the great pleasure of working with Neil when I had to prepare for a talk and on-camera work. Neil is a genuine Improv expert in his field of presentation coaching for executives and corporates. He is down-to-earth, pleasantly disarming, understanding of different personalities and goal driven whilst being respectful of the culture and context of the client. He offers confidential, constructive critique to help develop his clients into great speakers and communicators. I recommend him most highly.

2What is Improvisation (Improv)?
Improv means actively listening and reacting without pre-planning. It encourages us to be adaptable. We do this throughout the day – E.G. Forced to make a decision without all of the facts, being put on the spot, negotiating a deal, the list goes on. By using the core principles of improvisation – collaboration, communication, creativity and fun – we can react more flexibly and spontaneously while at the same time build our confidence. In the current economic environment, individuals are expected to be highly adaptable and rise to many unseen challenges.
