Daniel Subin and Brian Jack have combined our complementary professional and performance experiences to create PRONTO Improv.
PRONTO executive coaching delivers impactful sessions for team building and effective communication. The sessions apply the proven methods and lessons of improv comedy and elite performance to the business world.
We establish our philosophy and reinforce these concepts through interactive exercises. We share relevant tangible anecdotes and create a mental gym to drive awareness for the foundation to weave these skills and attitudes into everyday life both professionally and personally.
These fun, laugh-filled sessions establish supportive team building, trust and authenticity. The experience drives connection, provides a common language to take forward and builds executive presence. We create an inspiring atmosphere where teams experiment and have fun. We want you to feel comfortable when you feel uncomfortable. Sessions last 90 minutes ideally for 10-25 participants along with bespoke programs for larger groups.

FinTech Startup - CEO and Founder
"Pronto’s approach not only helped us with thinking on our toes, but reinforced key leadership principles: The ideas of enduring optimism driving success, of being completely present in our work, and that we all perform better when we know that we have one another’s back. Their approach weaves coaching together with concrete exercises. Dan and Brian are exceptional facilitators and presenters. We will definitely work with them again."
Boutique Investment Management ($55BN AUM) - CEO
“WOW. Just Wow!”

Global Investment Fund - Portfolio Manager
"I absolutely loved the session. I do not think the session will be forgotten in a hurry; it was incredibly impactful!"
Global Private Equity and Investments - HR and L&D Manager
"It was a great session, especially to kick off the offsite. At the end of the offsite, we did a roundtable on 'favorite sessions', and yours was mentioned several times.”
“The session went so smoothly... The content was great... I hope we'll find more opportunities to collaborate in the future."
Silicon Valley Venture Capital
"Candidly, I would have been reaching to give you any constructive feedback as I thought our session was excellent... Think some of my clients from our session may reach out to you!"
"That was awesome - thank you so much! We had a ton of fun. And think that it was a really great way to engage with everyone. Wouldn’t be surprised if you start getting more asks from us in the near future!"
Global Investment Bank
“PRONTO’s sessions challenge the tired, mechanical patterns of daily meeting interactions, and take us back to the original intent, actually listening to what your team has to say. For those weary of managers “grand-standing” at meetings, or managers who don’t realize they are doing it, this session comes as an incredibly fresh breath of air.”
Global Investment Bank - Managing Director
"I found the reminder to TRULY listen the most valuable. Mostly the part about waiting until someone finishes what they're saying before you formulate your response."
Cloud Communications - Executive Sales
“Made team members feel comfortable expressing themselves in front of each other. When the team is composed of diverse personalities, this workshop effectively breaks down barriers.”
