Rooted in inventive play and creativity, Tiny Thunder workshops foster authentic connections, creative expression, and better communication.
Through years of hands-on experience as improv teachers, artists, community builders, and managers, we’ve complied the proven key principles that help teams thrive. We’ve done the research—now let us show you what truly works to build an inviting workplace culture where teams thrive and perform at their best-
- a place where productivity and fun go hand in hand!
At Tiny Thunder, we believe work is more than just a place you clock in—it’s a space for connection, creativity, and collaboration.
Hi! We are Gillian & Cecilee :)
Gillian is a community builder, collaboration leader, and champion of happiness. With experience spanning restaurants, corporate offices, and nonprofits—working every role from hourly employee to manager—she’s experienced firsthand what makes teams thrive. Her passion for people, combined with extensive training in improvisation, has given her a unique perspective on team dynamics, culture, and the power of working better together.
Cecilee knows what it’s like to feel disconnected at work. From shoe repair to event planning, from janitor to business owner, she’s seen how a lack of real connection drains motivation and stifles creativity. But when people feel like they belong, everything changes—morale soars, ideas flow, and businesses flourish.
We’re here to flip the script on workplace culture. With a little effort and a shift in mindset, leaders and employees can create stronger, more connected teams—because when people thrive, companies do too.
Let’s work with heart & connect with purpose.
We help small teams make big impacts
by cultivating a culture of productive play.
