"BossaNova’s improv comedy workshop was
extraordinary because it was fun, creative,
and relevant. From the very beginning, the
BossaNova team worked with us to relate the
event to our strategic plan, to get everyone
involved, and to create an event that clearly
broke through structural barriers"—George L.
Child, President, Adventist Senior Living Services

“The U.S. Green Building Council felt privileged to be the first nonprofit organization that BossaNova Consulting worked with. Cary Paul hosted three sessions for our
Emerging Professionals Leadership Studio, covering two topics: facilitation techniques and leadership in
the moment (using improv as the tool). Our attendees gave rave reviews about this unique, fun and dynamic
training. We even ended up doing an improvised improv session with the larger group at an evening event!
Both Cary and Andrea were a pleasure to work with. BossaNova comes highly recommended!"
—Margo Street, Manager of Chapter Leadership Development, U.S. Green Building Council
Looking for a way to lead with clarity and grace in tough times? To innovate in the face of day-to-day business demands? Create client
relationships that inspire true loyalty? Provide customer service that makes a difference? Deliver training that makes people hungry to learn?

workplace. BossaNova’s Working in the Moment series combines the best of business and improv comedy to give you a way to do what you
already do naturally (improvise)—only with more certainty, energy, and levity.
“Our consultants are still raving about the improv comedy workshops we hosted with BossaNova – many,
many months later. Amidst all the laughter, our consultants really learned how to think on their feet, which is a critical skill in our business”—Director of Training and Development
"Yes, and ... !"
BossaNova combines professional comedy talent with training and consulting expertise to create learning programs that will never be forgotten.

“I knew we’d had a great session when the participants
started discussing their next steps long before the session
ended. We’ve had performing arts organizations work
with our company before, but they only juxtaposed
the funny. BossaNova integrated the funny into
our practical work.”—Jennifer Hentz, Learning and
Development, Booz | Allen | Hamilton
