"Jacqueline sets a tone of total safety. She really gave constructive feedback and it was very well directed and paced. I think the structure was amazing and overall she pushed me of my comfort zone, but did it in a very nurturing, constructive way! I loved her ideas and the different exercises and felt that the class was extremely entertaining. I kept saying in my head, "Goodie, what is she going to have me do next!?" It was challenging but not too overwhelming and scary. I shined in my own way and the weaknesses were handled with really great direction and humor. All in all I just found the whole thing to be fun, explorative, human, therapeutic, inspiring, playful and kind. Really glad I made it!"

~Heather Fitzpatrick, Traber Fitzpatrick, Inc.

"I can not tell you enough how much I enjoyed the class. How great it is to be outside my head for three hours and laugh as much as I did. It's so nice to know that there are people so warm and open out there. Jacqueline is a great coach- such good feedback."

~Jodi Zaretzky, Tiffany and Co.

The workshop was so great. I was nervous and it took me a year to get the nerve up to come but I don’t know what I waited for! After the first 15 minutes I was so much calmer and my adrenaline was rushing and it felt so great. There is such a comfortable and safe place in your class that it gave me the chance to explore my range and be funny without trying.

~Susanne Steward, The Corcoran Group

The environment for the workshop was awesome. Something about it felt safe and clean and yeah, sacred - more like we were sharing and less like we were performing.

~Amy Lee Pearsall, Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc.

I loved the workshop. One of my main reasons for being interested in improv was to learn to get out of my head and overcome some of my shyness with people I’m not familiar with. It felt liberating to step outside of myself and focus only on what I had to do in the moment and not 10 steps ahead. My favorite part of the workshop was feeling completely insulated from the world outside, including my every day worries, and just enjoying being able to be a kid again, and play. It was also great to have the performer in me re-awakened. It reminded me how much I enjoy and miss performing. I will integrate what I learned into my personal well being by better being able to live in the moment - or at least be conscious of when I'm drifting off into being hyper-self-conscious. Recognizing that making mistakes or looking foolish is not the end of the world (and can provide for some world-class amusement....) is pretty cool.
