Testimonials:
“I had a lovely time in Jared s classes! I felt so relaxed and happy afterwards. I feel like my neurons have been firing differently since. Improv play and improv thinking is helpful to me as a product manager.” - Adrienne Tran, Product Manager, Tesla
“ Jared has a knack for establishing a safe environment of trust and empathy so participants can play, take creative risks, and have fun learning.” - Connor Warnock, Lead Engineer, Notable Labs
"Jared ran a workshop for a team offsite I hosted and there couldn t have been a better way to kick it off! The exercises he ran us through helped set a positive tone and encouraged the group to feel comfortable with each other. We practiced effective ways to communicate and listen and we found that later in the week we used these techniques. Highly recommended for a group activity - whether purely for fun or for more professional, work related scenarios!" - Liz Bogart, Marketing Manager at AngelList
"I so enjoyed Jared s class. I work with people who have experienced chronic homelessness, and the games he taught have given me new, joyful, playful strategies for really *listening* to the men and women I have the privilege of serving." - Bethany Hebbard, Community Corps Director, Mobile Loaves and Fishes
