Welcome to Springboard NW: Playful Solutions
In 2025, Jean Bonifas retired from her long career in organizational training. She no longer offers those services, instead she continues to play and connect with others through workshops focusing on quality of life for seniors and creatives.
Jean Bonifas began her career in sales, as she enjoys meeting new people and listening to their stories. A Masters in Speech Communication & Bachelors in Theatre enabled her to also teach at LBCC as adjunct faculty in public speaking, improvisation, and interpersonal communication.
In 2002, she founded, Springboard NW, LLC - training teams, organizations and individuals in communication skills, team building, customer service and Applied Improvisation.
Jean now offers a range of workshops that playfully engage our brain, boost our energy and lighten our spirits; while building interactive, collaborative, problem-solving techniques that strengthen community and restore our sense of belonging.
