"The Improv Effect has enhanced my presentation skills. I harness my energy and control my nerves better so the best presentation comes through."

~ Jeff Kalish, Vice President Media Director –Robin Shepherd Group Advertising

"I will be able to read people better, listen more and think better on my feet. Jessie made Improv fun and I will definitely be able to apply these concepts professionally."

~ Jason Seifer, Web Developer at Twistedmind Inc.

"Taking the Improv Course that Jessie offers was revealing, enlightening, fun, and an incredible tool to increase overall effectiveness in the areas of sales and public speaking. Her workshops were some of the greatest value I have ever received. Each week I laughed and had fun beyond my imagination for hours in her being completely uninhibited and out of the box while taking learning to the next level. She challenged me and made me a much better observer of others and myself. In short, for the price of a dinner date I got to have a blast one night a week for a month. I highly recommend her work for personal and business development skills. In fact I have taken it twice and will continue to take her courses just for the fun and laughter I receive each week. It is a very relaxing, healing experience that takes me away from the stress of daily life."

"The Improv acting class that Jessie Shternshus has been teaching to our children at the Youth Activities Center on board Naval Air Station Jacksonville has been a huge success. The children, ages 8-15 are truly enjoying themselves. The creative improv exercises and the constant activities keep the children involved and excited in the program. Jessie encourages the students to use their imaginations. The children have been working in groups and individually and have been improving their natural acting skills. Continuous laughter is heard through the closed doors from the children participating. Those attending are gaining confidence and their leadership skills are truly shining after attending the class. The Youth Activities Center looks forward to being able to provide this class again for our military children!!!"

~ Megan Elliot, Youth Activities Director Naval Air Station JAX

"It was just perfect and I know everyone enjoyed it. As you know, humor goes a long way in helping to ease anxiety, stress, depression and pain, and we are all candidates for all of the mentioned."

~ Anne-Multiple Myeloma Group Jacksonville

"I had the opportunity to work with Jessie Shternshus and the ImprovEffect group for a recent leadership meeting. They were wonderful! They worked with me to understand the scope of our team responsibilities and dynamics and put together a presentation that was both educational and fun. The attendees had positive feedback on the ImprovEffect activity and all came away with some tools for improving communication and “group-think”. Thanks to Jessie and the rest of the ImprovEffect group for a great session!"

"I consider myself a “sponge;” daily, I strive to absorb and learn new information. Currently an interest of mine is the power and value of “improv.” I was recently part of a performing troupe, “The Improv Effect,” based in Jacksonville, FL. Improv has the ability to improve skills such as public speaking, communication, teamwork, creativity, project management, risk management and conflict resolution. It is also a refreshing way to evaluate personal strengths and weaknesses as one laughs his or her way through the process of personal growth!"
