“[Shawn Westfall is] a bright, high energy guy…” —The Washington Post

“Since this is Washington, that means that [Shawn] Westfall has taught [workshops] to a fair number of lawyers. To some it might seem he’s attempting the impossible: teaching a group of professionals trained to be risk-averse to take the plunge into spontaneity …. As improbable as it sounds, it seems to be working” — Legal Times

“Shawn Westfall has a terrific ability to engage a corporate workshop in a fun, entertaining and highly educational way …. I’d recommend for any manager wanting to improve teamwork, camaraderie, efficiency, and workplace engagement” — T. Rowen, Corporate Executive Board

“I felt so energized! It was great to be ‘human’ with other team members” — Participant, NOAA

“It was a unique way to see our team's personalities and to amp up the energy.

I also appreciated how Shawn used gender-inclusive language, something that most of us can be more intentional about” — Participant, The Washington Post Company

“That was probably the best retreat I've ever been to” — Participant, Facebook

“Shawn’s improv session was engaging and served as a powerful reminder that improvisation techniques can provide leaders and managers with essential skills, such as thinking on their feet and adapting to unexpected situations” — Participant, Ogilvy

“There are many books and studies that show how learning to improvise and arrive at answers quicker can make you a better, more efficient leader. I think Shawn's session showcased that perfectly …. It also silly, breaking down barriers and making our team feel closer and ready for several days of conferencing together. A great session!” — Participant, The World Bank

“I was unsure of what to expect: how does improvisation lead to team building? Well, it was such an engaging session with Shawn that I was able to observe my fellow staff members laugh and interact in a fun and silly session. He created a safe environment for us to enhance our listening skills, leave our egos at the door, and collaborate” — Participant, Marriott International
