Client: SofterWare/Donor Perfect
Donor Perfect and parent company, SofterWare work with non-profit clients to help streamline and simplify their philanthropic efforts. They provide consultation, tech support, and software to take the stress out of non-profit fundraising.

Industry: Software/
Fundraising
This isn't the exception, it is the norm for UnScripted. We take what we do seriously enough to be silly. And it shows. Our workshops allow team to have serious fun while learning real, deep, and lasting skills and mindsets.
Client: TW Metals
TW Metals, based in Exton, PA, provides specialty metals leadership and supply chain innovation. Their core values are integrity, respect for the individual, commitment, customer satisfaction and continuous improvement.
Year: 2023
UnScripted's work with TW Metals is our favorite example of innovation. What started as merely event entertainment for their new Leadership Academy, evolved into our first true hybrid event. Through multiple meetings and conversations, we discovered the opportunity to blend a performance and worshops to meet the needs of TW Metals.
Industry: Manufacturing
The hybrid event resulted in a grand-slam event. Attendees were able to sit back and laugh after a long day of leadership training but also left with a hands-on, interactive learning experience. This also marked the first time that a company asked to tip our team members beyond the agreed upon fee because of the exceeded expectations and high level of satisfaction.
How can improv facilitate team building?
Improv helps build a culture of psychological safety, in which team members feel free to take risks, contribute ideas, and make mistakes without retribution. As stated in Harvard Business Review, psychological safety can lead to increased motivation, better decision making, and an environment of continuous improvement.
What can we expect from an improv workshop for team building?
Before the workshop, we’ll work with you to identify your goals for the workshop. Maybe you want to troubleshoot difficult team dynamics, get folks primed for a new project, or inject some new energy into a well-established team. We’ll customize our program based on your priorities.
From there, we will design and facilitate a workshop that utilizes warm-ups, exercises, and games to cultivate learning, application, reflection, and fun allowing for a low-stress, high-engagement experience with lasting impact.
What if we aren't funny?
Don’t worry about it! Believe it or not, the goal of improv isn’t to be hilarious, it’s to work together as a team to find solutions to novel problems and conditions. If something is funny, it’s often just a happy side effect of implementing the improv basics in a creative way.
What if some of our team members are scared to try improv?
Our professional workshops are structured to create a “safe space” for everyone to explore, experiment, and connect without the pressure of working toward a performance. Plus, our facilitators are pros at helping everyone feel confident and comfortable. In fact, many of our workshop participants tell us that our workshops helped them alleviate long-standing fears around public speaking and presenting.
How much does it cost?
While the pricing of our workshops will vary depending upon goals, number of participants, length of workshop, and travel involved, most of our client anticipate spending between $2,500 and $6,000.
How long is a workshop?
For a one-time team building workshop, we reference the "sweet spot" being no less than 90 minutes and no more than 3 hours. For a full-day, retreat-style workshop, we typically book 4-6 hours.
Can we customize the workshop?
Yes! We actually insist on it. We have never done the same workshop twice. Leading up to a workshop we will work with you to make sure we are hearing and understanding your goals and needs. We will then build a custom workshop agenda to share with you. From there, we will continue to collaborate and make edits based on your insights and desired outcomes.
What kind of space do we need?
This will vary based on your team. While a larger space is required for larger groups, our recommendation is to have enough space to so that if we were in a circle, everyone could make unobstructed eye contact. The possibility for break-out spaces is a bonus for larger groups.
