Team-Building That
Actually Works
hear.say team-building workshops use improv-based exercises to strengthen communication, collaboration, and trust. Teams have fun, let loose, and reconnect in a safe, supportive environment. No performance experience required. The focus is on connection and communication, not performance.
Serious Skills, Surprisingly Fun
Improv is not about being funny. It is about listening, responding, and building something together in real time. These are the same skills strong teams rely on every day.
Our workshops create a welcoming, low-pressure environment where teams:
Communicate more clearly
Build trust and psychological safety
Adapt when plans change
Support one another instead of shutting down ideas
Participants stay engaged through interactive exercises led by experienced facilitators. No one is put on the spot or asked to entertain their team. The experience is playful, human, and immediately applicable. Workshops are available at hear.say or offsite.
These workshops are perfect for corporate and workplace teams, academic departments and research groups, nonprofits and community organizations, creative teams, athletic teams, and leadership groups. We have successfully supported groups ranging in size from 5 to 100 and regularly bring multiple facilitators to support breakout groups.
Let’s Start the Conversation
Tell us a little about your team, and we will follow up to discuss goals, timing, and format. No commitment required.

Testimonials
“I have conducted multiple workshops with Tony for my own team, and have recommended him to several colleagues for their events. Every single event has been a huge success. We learned valuable skills regarding workplace communication and collaboration, and had tons of fun in the process. The fact that Tony worked in a corporate environment at Google for several years shows in how he relates improv exercises to real life work challenges. We always learn some surprises about our colleagues in the workshops as well – hidden talents that never come out in the office seem to find a way to the spotlight during the workshops.”

“Tony DeRosa and the team from Hear.Say led a fabulous morning workshop for 90 staff members from the U-M School of Information for our annual staff retreat. Working with Tony was a delight. He listened to our needs and goals and designed a session that fully aligned with our vision. Tony and his team are professional, personable and down to earth. They created an energized and supportive environment that helped everyone learn, try new things and have fun. The after-event at the Hear.Say Theater & Brewery was perfect - delicious food and beverages and a great setting for everyone to relax and connect after the retreat. Thanks Tony and Hear.Say!”
