Impromi Foundation
Master Improv-Agile coaching through deep practice and integration
Your Facilitator: Alexander Spradling, PhD
Professional Coach, Applied Improvisation Specialist, and Founder of Impromi
We learn best when we are playing. I am here to guide you through a safe, high-energy space where you can experiment, fail forward, and walk away with high-value skills that will greatly enhance your effectiveness as a coach.
What You'll Develop
Prerequisite: Introduction Workshop (or equivalent improvisation experience).
The Foundation Series is where you move from experiencing the 5 Dimensions to embodying them as permanent capacities. Through four intensive 2-hour sessions with high-repetition practice, you'll develop the skills that distinguish competent coaching from transformational coaching.
The curriculum includes live virtual workshops, mindfulness exercises, and real-world experiments to try with your actual clients between classes. The Module themes are outlined below; however, specific content and order may be adjusted to optimize the learning experience:
Module 1: Breaking Script Dependency • Develop the capacity to instantly let go of your planned path when clients go off-script • Practice cognitive agility under pressure—pivoting strategies in real-time based on what's actually happening • Build the neural pathways that make responsiveness automatic, not effortful
Module 2: Interpersonal Dynamics & Trust • Master the subtle calibration of your coaching presence—knowing when to challenge and when to soften • Develop your ability to read non-verbal cues and energetic shifts, even in virtual sessions • Practice creating psychological safety through collaborative partnership, not just techniques
Module 3: Real-Time Responsiveness Under Pressure • Train your capacity to stay grounded and creative when sessions become tense or emotionally charged • Develop the confidence to offer intuitive hunches and challenging observations without anxiety • Practice navigating power dynamics—when to lean on your authority and when to step back
Module 4: Integration & Mastery • Integrate all 5 Dimensions into coherent, responsive presence • Practice handling the most complex coaching scenarios with creative agility • Develop your personal style of Improv-Agile coaching that aligns with who you are
Who Is This For?
These skills are transformative for experienced Coaches, Facilitators, Agile Practitioners, and People Leaders who want to close the responsiveness gaps that still show up under pressure, and refresh their practice with new, experiential depth.
No prior improv or "Agile" experience required. We focus entirely on developing your coaching presence and strengthening human-to-human coaching connection.
To maintain optimal learning conditions for paired practice exercises, we close registration at 16 participants and require a minimum of 8 registered participants to run. If we don't reach the minimum by 2 days before the workshop date, I'll notify all registered participants and offer a full refund or transfer to a future date. Early registration helps ensure the workshop runs!
Small cohorts create the psychological safety needed for deep learning. But they also require full commitment from every participant. When you register, you're making a commitment not just to yourself, but to your cohort.
Please don't register unless you can show up. When someone is absent, it disrupts not just their own learning but the experience of the entire cohort. We run multiple cohorts throughout the year. If a particular one's timing doesn't work for you, join us the next one when you can commit fully.
Before registering, please ask yourself if you can:
Attend all 4 modules on the scheduled dates (no make-ups available)
Clear your calendar for the full 2-hour sessions
Participate fully in paired and group exercises
Honor the cohort commitment you're making
Refund Policy

Workshop Logistics
Designed for the Introvert: Introverts often make the best improvisers. Our "Lab" environment prioritizes observation and listening over performance, allowing you to participate at your own comfort level.
The "Brain Gym" vs. Theatre: This is not a comedy or performance class. We use experiential play as a disciplined practice to build communication, presence, and responsiveness —not to be "funny.
Framework Agnostic: We don't replace your existing coaching frameworks. We make you less dependent on their "safety" so you can use them more fluidly.
A Safe, Live Laboratory: To protect peer-level risk-taking, sessions are never recorded. External recording or AI note-taking tools are strictly prohibited.
Mastery-Level Practice: While accessible to all, these labs are specifically calibrated for experienced practitioners seeking to up-level their agility.
The Presence Protocol: Radical presence requires full engagement. Please join via laptop or desktop from a private space. To ensure you can fully sense the room and navigate the breakout drills, mobile devices are not a viable platform for this work. During the workshop we require "camera-on" participation and ask that all mobile devices be silenced and removed from your workspace to ensure an uninterrupted, high-stakes training environment.
Peer-Level Intensity: To provide a truly immersive experience, we host up to 16 participants at a time—giving you more space to ask, learn, and grow.
