"Our team had a lot of fun during a virtual event organised and hosted by Alex. In our role playing game we were sent into an intergalactic adventure with a lot of room for creative expression and improvisation, wherein Alex was meticulously wearing many hats, using special effects and new technologies to provide a special experience. He managed to create an immersive experience and made sure we had many funny moments as we played. The team enjoyed the virtual event very much and we would highly recommend Alex to anyone who is looking for interesting fun team building options."

"Hivemind enabled our 50+ team to have a (remote) shared, fun moment together. The confidence improv training will have a positive impact on the team and our daily activities"
Gauthier, Dataroots (2021)
“The Hivemind team was wonderful and created such a fun team building event for our company summit even though we were all apart during COVID. Coordinating with 30+ people was no easy feat I'm sure, but James and Alex made the Zoom intimate and hilarious in its own way. We did a few exercises with the whole group then branched off into two smaller breakout rooms for some games. Everyone participated and had a lot of fun with it. Whether you were new to the team or had been here for years, we were comfortable with each other and really got into all the activities. I will be yes and-ing my way through life from here on out. Many thanks Alex and James!”
Julia, Acast (2020)
"Our company and team haven't been together in-person in over six months, but Hivemind's creative, fun collaborations united us again in both fun and very practical ways. In working (playing?) with Hivemind, it has made us an even stronger team than we were before. Looking forward to working with them again (and hopefully in real life in the not-too-distant future)!"

“The team had an awesome time and it was the perfect way to do a team building exercise during lockdown.”
Charles, Snap Inc. (2020)
“After doing the Hivemind session, all of a sudden I see my colleagues in a different light. I feel a lot more comfortable, and I’m smiling at everyone during the coffee breaks. We feel a lot more like a team, really relaxed and happy, reading physical cues and having more eye contact. At the end of the conference, I heard so many people still talking to each other about the fun games we’d all played. So thank you so much, Hivemind, for a wonderful workshop!”
Afaf, Smile! Conference (2019)
“My greatest takeaway is that a lot of people have abilities that are hidden, and through playing and improvisation, a lot of skills come out that you wouldn’t expect people to have. You discover a very different side to your friends, and even to yourself! It was exactly what we all needed to give us a confidence and energy boost that kept us all smiling for the rest of the day.”
Katerina, London School of Paediatrics (2019)
“Hivemind’s trainers joined us to facilitate an improv skills workshop as part of our London Paediatrics conference in 2019. Hivemind’s workshop was the talk of the conference – attendees raved about the entertaining exercises, which got everyone out of their seats and connecting with one another, while giving them a new perspective on how to foster a great team culture in the workplace. Participants learnt lots of tips to take away and implement in their workplaces to improve working relationships. The workshop was a fantastic addition to the conference, and I would recommend it to others as a useful training tool.”
Priyen, Health Education England (2019)
“Alex and Isla recently ran an improv games for team building workshop at our well-being conference at the Royal Free Hospital. It was very well received. I know from chatting to people afterwards how amazed they were by the success of the activities. People who didn’t know each other felt comfortable, chatted away and did things they never thought they’d do! I even started to believe that I should give up my day job and be a stand-up comedian. Many thanks to Alex and Isla!”
Sophie, NHS Royal Free (2018)
“I experienced Isla do her magic at an improv workshop at the Crossmodalism community last weekend, helping us overcome our “not for me”-zone with her warm, open and non-forcing attitude. It was a new and valuable experience for me, ending in seamlessly easy weird and wonderful co-created storytelling with someone we had never met before. Something I’d never believed happening at the start of the session! I took away a whole bunch of techniques to apply in other creative settings. Can only recommend it! Thanks!”
