Providing Women the
Courage, Confidence, and Clarity to Stand Up and Speak their Truth |
"I have never participated in a workshop that was so thoroughly applicable to our daily life, work, and relationships. The return on investment was clear immediately." |
"Speaking your Truth Through Laughter was a blast! It allowed me to learn about myself and ways concepts associated with improv can be applied in other aspects of my life (living in the moment, mindfulness and the importance of listening)." |
"Pam is a skilled improv teacher who brings depth and breadth to her workshops. She helps walk us through assumptions misperceptions and judgment and helps us land in openness insight laughter and greater 'ease fullness'. Highly recommend." |
"Pam Victor is amazing at making people feel at ease. Her insight and compassion is a strength that she shared with everyone in the group. I recommend taking one of her classes if you want to improve your sense of self, take small risks with a big personal reward, or simply have fun with new friends. |

mindfulness THROUGH LAUGHTERMindfulness practice improves productivity, satisfaction, and communication in your life. This program replaces “Om” with “Ha!” as we explore and practice mindfulness in a wise and wise-cracking fashion. In an extremely supportive, positive, and affirming environment, we laugh and learn through improvisation exercises that get us up on our feet, out of our heads, and into the moment. To deepen your practice, Mindfulness Through Laughter can also be taught as a series of on-going meetings.
strengthening your voice THROUGH LAUGHTERThis fun-on-your-feet experience for introverts, introvert-friendly, and introvert-curious people helps you practice quieting your inner judgmental voice, communicate more effectively, reframe setbacks and overcome challenges in a super supportive environment. As introverts know, quiet is great, but the world can be a noisy place. This workshop will help you feel more confident at making your out loud voice heard when it's time to talk.
disempowering failure THROUGH LAUGHTERWeathering mistakes and overcoming setbacks are tricky but absolutely vital skills. In this positive, highly supportive workshop, we'll use easy-to-learn, very fun exercises to help you understand that defining something as a "failure" only sets up roadblocks. Instead, you'll experience failure as a judgment-free event, releasing you to move forward with more confidence and creativity. Empower yourself by disempowering failure with this powerful workshop.

"Pam's workshop fundamentally changed the way I think about improv (and life!). In just 2 days I went from overthinking, always judging myself (and sometimes others), and constantly planning my next move to being comfortable with the unknown and letting things happen and be discovered naturally. Pam's teaching style is calm, supportive and encouraging (without being over the top). She gave me permission to be myself, and then helped me realize that I didn't need that permission in the first place. I will remember these two days for a long, long time to come! |
BOOK PAM'S INTERACTIVE TALK at your event

Is there a voice inside your mind that sometimes tells you that you’re not good enough? It might also give you other negative messages like, “That idea is stupid.” “Don’t say that because people will think you’re an idiot.” “Who are you to think you can do that?” “What if you embarrass yourself?” “What if nobody likes it?” Pam Victor calls that voice the Evil Mind Meanie - hers is named “Calvin” - and it’s the internal voice of unhelpful judgment. In this funny, relatable talk, professional improv comedian, author, and teacher Pam Victor provides five effective techniques for quieting your voice of unhelpful judgment, so you can live and work with more ease and joy. Interactive exercises include the whole audience in order to make these learning more powerful and fun.
Ask yourself this: “How would your life change if you stopped listening to to your voice of unhelpful judgment?” |

"In this time of unrest it it a rare treat to spend the day with a bunch of strangers and let your funny flag fly. 
|
"This workshop was taught me that being kind and empathic to myself does not get in the way of helping others - it can actually make me more effective because I am staying aware and listening to what is really going on."
- Miriam Neptune, Northampton, MA
Pam Victor appeared on WWLP's "Mass Appeal" to demonstrate how improv can help give more confidence in communicating.
