Our Story

WitWorks is the brainchild of local Hashtag Comedy performers Katie Drown and Alex Lefeld. As veteran improvisers and learning and development professionals, both have witnessed first hand the positive impact on teams in the corporate world.

WitWorks provides engaging learning experiences based on improv comedy games and principles, that don't just stick, but really work. We work with corporate clients and organizations across many industries, including pharmaceutical, insurance, governmental, finance, startups, healthcare, and more. Clients choose WitWorks because they see the value in inspiring connection and joy amongst their teams.

Why Choose our Workshops?

After performing improv on stage for so many years, we can honestly say that improv has changed our lives. It has become a life philosophy, a vehicle for career growth and a consistent source of joy. 

We have also seen first-hand how it can positively impact businesses and corporate teams. It is one of the few corporate trainings that is first and foremost, fun, and secondly, provides both immediate and long-term takeaways.

The bonus? What we’ve witnessed, research also backs. Studies have shown that applied improvisation can improve both intra- and interpersonal communication, enhance collaboration, bolster communication skills and create nimble, adaptable teams.

As businesses re-calibrate in a post-pandemic world, improv is more helpful than ever. Between hybrid or work-from-home structures, the growth of AI and technological advances, creating tight-knit, connected and highly functioning teams can be a challenge. 

Each of these difficulties impact the way people feel about their company. This in turn impacts the way they work, and affects company culture. And when culture suffers, so does the bottom line...

This is where WitWorks shines. We offer solutions to these complex issues that even the most sophisticated learning management systems cannot achieve. We focus on human connection and build custom workshops to create shared learning experiences that spark joy. 

Through improv inspired games and exercises you’ll watch your team transform. And you’ll also find that they talk about their experience long after the workshop ends. That’s the WitWorks experience…corporate improv training that doesn’t just stick, it works.
