Become a Memorable Speaker Through the Art of Improv (Vancouver)

With Ingrid Broussillon

November 4 - 5, 2026

What makes a speaker truly memorable?

Is it “perfect slides”?

No.

Is it memorizing every word?

Oh hell NOOOO! That sounds stressful and time consuming!

It’s presence, authenticity—and the ability to stay connected even when things don’t go exactly as planned.

You might have taken several workshops on the topic and yet, public speaking still feels stressful, unnatural, and full of pressure to be perfect while being judged by others. That’s exactly why Ingrid designed this workshop.

This is a light, energizing, and highly interactive experience where you’ll not only practice… but also get access to the exact tools, tips, and “secrets” she has developed and tested over more than 15 years of public speaking, acting and storytelling on stage.

From overcoming stage fright to learning how to stay present in unexpected moments, these are the same techniques she has used herself and shared with hundreds of participants to help them move from fear to confidence. Now she really loooooves being on stage and she is going to share her passion with you and make you feel the same.

Through practical improv exercises, you’ll learn how to think on your feet, embrace mistakes, and connect authentically, the real skills behind powerful communication.

No improv experience needed. Just curiosity—and a willingness to play.

By the end of the session, you’ll realize that becoming a memorable speaker is not about being perfect…
but about being fully present, real, and connected.

Gain access to Ingrid’s tried and tested powerful tips and…

  • Build confidence and presence when speaking in front of others
  • Learn simple improv tools to think on your feet and adapt
  • Discover how authenticity makes your message more memorable
  • Practice listening and responding in ways that create stronger connection with an audience
  • Transform nerves into energy and engagement

This memorable workshop experience is built around:

  • Interactive improv exercises
  • Short storytelling activities
  • Speaking and presence exercises
  • Small group and partner activities
  • Playful exercises designed to practice spontaneity and connection

Schedule

The workshop will run daily from 9:30am to 4:30pm daily.

“I am the CEO of Small Business BC. We have followed Ingrid since she won the Premier’s People’s Choice Award at the Small Business BC Annual Awards in 2019. Ingrid led an improv/speaker training course at our office and she was as phenomenal as I would have expected. Ingrid is engaging, fun and extremely knowledgable about her craft. The attendees at our team event really had a good time and we all learned something new to apply to our own public speaking skills that day. I highly recommend Ingrid for your team events!” Past participant
