Impromi Founder and Lead Facilitator
How I got here
My path to Impromi began in my early 20s with two parallel discoveries that have shaped everything I have done since.
The first was mindfulness. It taught me something that sounds simple but takes years to really understand: that what we perceive is not reality — it is a filtered version of reality, shaped by our habits, our history, and our expectations. Learning to notice that filter, and to remain curious and open in spite of it, changed how I related to everything — including the people I was trying to help.
The second was improvisation. I started with acting classes in Buenos Aires and later trained at BATS Improv in San Francisco. What struck me immediately was that the best improvisers were not the most creative or the most talented — they were the most present. They were the ones who could let go of what they had planned and respond fully to what was actually happening. There was something electric about that quality of attention. Scripted methods couldn't touch it.
What I learned
The insight that connects mindfulness, improvisation, and coaching is this: structure and process are not opposites. Most people think of structure as something you impose on a situation — a framework, a method, a plan. But the most effective structure is the kind that arises organically from what is actually happening. It emerges from genuine attention to the living process unfolding in front of you.
Improvisation is the clearest expression of this. A skilled improviser is not working without structure — they are working with a different relationship to structure. They are present enough to let the right structure emerge from the moment rather than forcing a pre-existing one onto it.
This is also what distinguishes truly transformational coaching from competent coaching. The biggest breakthroughs in my own practice never happened when I followed a plan. They happened in the moments when I was fully present, adaptable, and willing to follow where the session was actually going rather than where I expected it to go.
That realization is what led me to create Impromi.
What Impromi is
Many experienced coaches know their frameworks deeply. What they sometimes struggle with is the moment when a client goes somewhere unexpected — when the session outpaces the plan and something else is required. Not a better framework. A different quality of presence.
I created Impromi to address that gap — what I call the Responsiveness Gap. It is the distance between knowing what to do in theory and being able to do it in the unscripted, unpredictable reality of a live coaching session.
Impromi training draws on the principles of improvisation and mindfulness to help experienced coaches develop that capacity — not by adding more frameworks, but by training the instrument itself. The goal is a coach who is genuinely ready for anything — not because they have a plan for every situation, but because they have learned to trust what emerges when they are fully present.
My Mission
To help coaches move from knowing their craft to embodying it — so that their presence becomes as reliable as their technique, and their responsiveness becomes as natural as their curiosity.
