The Human Imagination Project

In 2012, Jeanne left her lucrative career in academia and heritage conservation to pursue an equally lucrative one in training, storytelling, performance, improvisation, and writing. She has told stories, produced, emceed, and done improv in all sorts of places, some sanctioned, some not. She is the founder of the Museum of the Ordinary Extraordinary. She has performed, presented, facilitated, and conducted workshops and trainings in North America, Europe, and Asia and has led Quest workshops on three continents, eleven countries, and seventeen cities. Jeanne's workshops have been described as "amazing," "powerful," and "great fun."

A common thread through all her work has been the desire to connect individuals, groups, and organizations to people, causes, and things that they care about and give them the tools that they need to take meaningful action and inspire change. She is the former Vice President of the Applied Improvisation Network, a founding member of Improv for Humanity, and Instigator-in-Chief of The Quest: Improv for Transformation. She recently relocated back to Chicago.
