I can only say one word about Nina Wise's performance... WOW!!!!!! She came highly recommended so I decided to give her a shot. She blew me and the whole audience away. Such an amazing show - fun, intelligent, beautiful to watch and to listen to. I am now the one highly recommending her to YOU like my friends once did to me. - Maurizio Benazzo, producer, Science and Non Duality Conference


Team Building for Creativity & Productivity

Need your team to work together with more trust & ease, so their self-censoring mechanisms fall away and their creativity thrives? Know that taking the risk to make mistakes and look foolish allows your team members to express their innermost brilliance?

Nina Wise offers team building workshops in improvisation and self-expression that guide participants to relax, engage and play. Creativity explodes. Team bonds solidify. Work becomes more fun. Workshops range from 2 hours to a multi-day series.

Nina Wise takes the student through a progression of exercises that build skill and confidence in using body, voice and language. The experience of presence that underlies performance, and creative activity in any field, cannot be taught - or described - directly. But by both her words and the exercises, Nina leads students to that experience for themselves. She is a gifted teacher. - Nancy, Professor of Business Administration, Berkeley


Executive Coaching for Authentic Leadership

Want to develop presence, clarity, and the ability to tell stories that move your audience to laughter and tears as you inspire and educate? Need to reduce on-the-job stress so that you feel refreshed, renewed, rejuvenated at work? Want to develop spontaneity and access your deepest intelligence?

Coaching sessions with Nina Wise will help you relax into your natural ease. You will find that you think more clearly, have more fun, attract the trust and respect of others. As you learn to tell moving and funny stories about your own life, you will inspire others as well as teach them about the principles dearest to your heart.

Nina is a terrific teacher, encouraging, challenging. She helped me work through a lifelong problem. - Brian, IBM, Menlo Park
