The Charisma Key
Our very popular Charisma Key programme has helped any number of teams, managers, partners and staff-members find a more dynamic, more impactful, more charming version of themselves, which in turn has helped their business win pitches, close sales, handle negotiations, present effectively and network with ease. Tell me more about The Charisma Key
The Charisma Key can be adapted to suit your needs, delivering seminar-style to big audiences, or working one-on-one or in small groups (usually with senior managers), but generally as an interactive workshop with a group of 10-16. It can also be adapted to emphasise different skills such as presentations, networking, sales and so on.
"I am regularly receiving commentary and praise about its relevance for our entire community. The Charisma session will be a talking point for many years to come!" - Technology firm
The Creativity Key
The Creativity Key turns awkward or defensive brainstorms into thrilling and productive brain hurricanes! Our improvisation techniques will unlock your creativity and leave you able to turn inspiration on and off like a tap. This session can be run as a skills-based workshop or we can facilitate your brainstorm session for you. Tell me more about The Creativity Key.
"You opened our eyes to new ways of being creative in a fun and interactive way." – Major airline
The Cake Factor
The Cake Factor brings out your natural storytelling impulses and puts them to work enhancing your communications, often in the context of formal presentations but also in terms of one-to-one communication, running meetings, managing change and so on. Tell me more about The Cake Factor
"I wish I had had this earlier in my career - I could have given better presentations from the beginning" - financial services firm
Teambuilding
Do your people not mesh smoothly as a team because they don't know how to (as many teambuilding solutions assume?) or because something else is getting in the way? In our Dream Team Build events, your people will really get to know each other, as well as developing skills they simply didn't know - and wouldn't have believed - they had. Tell me more about Dream Team Build.
"...a fabulous day ... something fun AND useful, everyone taking something specific and personal away to develop." – Technology company
Other workshops

We like a challenge! All our workshops are tailored to suit your needs, but we can also come up with something brand new if necessary.
Let us help you to add impact to your event.
Training sessions
As a warm-up to get people in the right state, or as one or a series of "break-out" sessions, The Spontaneity Shop's amazing insights into creativity, storytelling, education and social status will illuminate and entertain and leave your delegates hungry for more. Tell me more about Training Sessions at Events.
"fantastic fun, gave me loads to think about and a real help" - HR Company
Motivational Speakers
The Spontaneity Shop's performer/trainers make dynamic, compelling speakers. Deborah Frances-White (in video above) is an accomplished improviser, a stand-up comedian, an expert charisma coach and recently sold a screenplay in Hollywood. Tell me more about speakers.
"Deborah, thank you for your excellent presentation... humourous, relevant and pitched exactly right." - charity
Event comperes
Why have your people deliver stiff, wooden presentation after dry, dreary presentation? Let our expert performers help you to design an appropriate framework which will emphasise all the best aspects of your presenters and allow you to focus on your message. We can set up a chat-show and interview your speakers, or have them appear as "turns" in a variety show. For one client, we've even written a complete West End musical for them to star in (with our help, of course!). Tell me more about event comperes.
"It's weeks later and people are still talking to me about it. You had such an impact." - Technology company
Corporate Entertainment
When we aren't working in the corporate sector, we're staging amazing improvised comedy shows. Why not let us take care of the evening entertainment? We can provide bespoke improvised sketches that reflect your culture and people, we can do it all ourselves or we can make you the stars! Tell me more about entertainment.
"They performed a series of hilarious and relevant improvised scenes as well as a couple of scripted sketches that they wrote to our specifications at very short notice! I would recommend them to anyone running a corporate event and would invite them back to our events anytime." - Event organiser
The Spontaneity Shop is an innovative training company using the principles of stage improvisation to bring about real changes in the way companies work. We have delivered our unique programmes to a wide range of business people including lawyers, accountants, television executives, advertising creatives and bankers.
