Meridith Grundei, MFA is an award-winning theatre director, producer, and former Second City improv teacher, who recognized the similarities between performing for audiences on stage every night and presenting to clients/colleagues every day, but the latter didn’t have the right tools to bring their stories to life. So she decided to do something about it.

​Meridith specializes in presentation and public speaking consultation, individual training and development, and creative team solutions using improvisational theatre techniques to build trust, empathy, and out-of-the-box thinking.

Her company, Grundei Coaching, LLC has helped thousands of individuals and corporations craft engaging presentations and authentic stories to achieve career growth and success.
