I've been studying charisma for many years now. It started once I had been teaching public speaking masterclasses for Guardian Masterclasses for a few years. I realized that, as valuable as public speaking sessions are
The Latin phrase "festina lente" means to make haste slowly. "But that’s an oxymoron!" you cry. Yes, it is. Sort of. The true meaning of this phrase is that you need to find a balance
You should do one thing that scares you every day. Apparently. I don't know about that, that might be too often. But it is a good idea to keep yourself from getting complacent. And to
I was recently on the Improv Chronicle podcast, with my friend Lloydie James Lloyd, talking about imposter syndrome. And what right do I have to talk about imposter syndrome? Great question! Listen and find out.
That's right, I upskilled. Officially. Having recently successfully completed a course as a Certified Digital Marketing Professional. From the Digital Marketing Institute. The question is, why? Why did I do a course in something I'm
I've recently had an opportunity to do some pieces of one-on-one training, mentorship and coaching (in improv, entrepreneurship and public speaking, respectively). It's been great, and I think I can safely say I've been able
I’ve been making small records of my time around my birthday recently. Well, at least when I turned 40, and then again when I turned 41, and then 365 days later when I entered the
We're on a short family holiday this week. A little Dutch seaside time to kick back and relax. I've also been using this time as an opportunity to speak more Dutch. We're away from home,
I dropped a brand new music video. It's for a song called Aces & Eights and it's a western storytelling rap song. If you're into that sort of thing you'll love it. And if you're
There's a long-overdue sea change sweeping the US, and spreading internationally. Fuelled by the murder of George Floyd, the widespread, vocal, and broadly supported movement seeks nothing less than to directly address overt and implicit
“The skills I learned from those two weekends, which were two of the most enjoyable weekends I’ve ever had, have been an invaluable tool I use to this day in my daily life, both at work and in personal interactions.”
“Very inspiring and useful workshop. Picked me up from where I’m at and helped me develop strategies to improve developing scenes and my performance skills.”
“Ryan is an incredible teacher. He took a straggling group of beginners and turned us into a viable company of improvisational actors who regularly perform together – in front of actual, paying, repeat customers.”
I’ve benefitted immensely from this journey which I would recommend to anyone looking to learn more about themselves in a fun, immersive way.”
“Ryan is the most enthusiastic, positive workshop leader I have ever had the pleasure of working with. I’ve been to several of his workshops and after each session I came away with a sense of achievement and feeling that I had learnt something new.”
“Your Taking It Easy session helped me relax more into the truth of a scene and let it grow more organically instead of pushing too hard to make it funny or dramatic. I loved that you were really clear about what you wanted us to get and how the exercises played into the scene work we did later. I really got a lot from one short session.”/fusion_testimonial]“Ryan really made the most out of the workshop. No time-wasting. He gets to the point quickly, in a clear and effective way”Pedro, Lisbon
“Absolutely brilliant! Exceptional work!”
“Plenty of energy, enthusiasm, good clear guidance on how to make the scene ‘deliver results’ without killing the improviser… Ryan’s enthusiasm for improv is infectious.” [/testimonial]“I loved loved loved your workshop. I liked the way it was structured and meaningful. Time flew unnoticed. I liked the shortness of the exercises, the surprise and fun, and the fact that you gave me so much to explore. I now can be in an empty prison cell or in a desert island and never feel alone or bored any more. Now I can expand my world.”Elsa, Lisbon
“Ryan seemed to know just what to do to get the best from everyone. I would jump at the opportunity to do another workshop led by him.”
“Ryan is a great teacher, very serious (and very funny!) gives great coaching during scenes! I had a great time studying with him!!”
“I especially enjoyed the clarity in all of what you were doing – I always understood what it was that you were teaching. I never felt lost. That was really awesome.”
“Ryan’s approach to improv is both fun and inspiring. However, Ryan demonstrates that improv goes way deeper than that. It provides valuable lessons on how to communicate and collaborate more effectively. Ryan is a master and I learned a lot.”
“I thoroughly enjoyed the workshop. I learned how beautiful authenticity is, with such little moments as sharing your breakfast. Being in the moment is so amazing to see and to feel.”
“I LOVED the fucking GREAT and positive energies in the workshop. They so got me going. Perhaps the highest moment during this festival was laughing in the workshop (to the dances… :)).”
“Ryan’s improv workshop is incredibly fun but also ruthlessly effective. Participants are taught to drop their inhibitions, let their imagination flow and and embrace the positive attitude at the heart of improv. They are also treated to Ryan’s personal blend of enthusiasm, wit and generosity.”
