Team Training
When you Train the Human, everything works better.
Interactive training that helps your team communicate, collaborate, and adapt.
Adaptable teams
Stay sharp when plans change.
Bold collaboration
Ideas that get shared, not buried.
Clear communication
Fewer misunderstandings. Better outcomes.
The Problem
Most workplace issues aren't technical. They're human.
Did you know?
Leaders estimate that their teams lose almost an entire workday to poor communication every week, a bit more than $12k per employee per year!1
We've heard it all:
“I talk in meetings, but nobody seems to listen.”
“We do meaningless ‘team building’ events that don’t teach us anything useful.
“Our training has nothing to do with what we actually do.”
“Management is afraid to experiment, collaborate, or innovate.”
We believe your team deserves training that sticks.
The Solution
Dynamic team training unlike anything you've done before
The most effective method for learning is doing. That means getting people on their feet, practicing habits to actually change how they work and communicate.
We offer improv-based soft skills training, the same approach used by programs at Google, Pepsi, and Uber.
Think high performance, not stage performance.
No scripts. No cringe. No trust falls. Just interactive, engaging sessions where your team builds skills they’ll use the next day.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why improv?
Because work isn’t scripted. It happens in the moment: unexpected questions, shifting priorities, difficult clients. Your team is already adapting on the fly every day. The question is: have they been trained to do it well?
Do we have to perform or be funny?
Nope! Being funny is not the goal, and nobody is ever put on the spot. The focus is always on collaboration, listening, and real-world communication.
Most people are surprised by how quickly it stops feeling unfamiliar and starts feeling useful.
What does a session look like?
People on their feet, practicing communication and collaboration techniques in pairs or small groups, connecting in a way they simply can’t in a traditional classroom setting.
We are experts in building a creative, judgment-free environment where everyone is empowered to join in, minimizing downtime and maximizing participation.

Who We Are
Meet Your Human Trainers
Josh Heimendinger, Founder
I spent 15 years in corporate cybersecurity and the last decade on the improv stage. The overlap was obvious: the skills that make great improvisers make great teammates. Train the Human is my attempt to close that gap, and build a better kind of training for a better kind of world.
Rod Bagheri, Co-Founder
As a faculty professor in the School of Dramatic Arts at USC and an improv teacher for over a decade, I've developed a passion for helping students use the foundational skills of improvisation to complement their vocational training and enrich their lives.
