What’s Riff?

Riff is a leadership development consultancy that transforms teams and develops top talent.

We connect teams who are worn down, disconnected, or disengaged.

We grow leaders who show up with agility, presence, confidence, and empathy.

We help executive teams move faster, trust deeper, and adapt on command—especially when the script breaks.

Our core tool? Improvisation.

A proven method to build agility, presence, and real-time trust under pressure—skills your leaders need when the script breaks.

Why Improv?

Leadership can’t be found in a script. Connection and trust can’t be drummed up by following a flowchart.

Improv isn’t about performance—it’s about presence.

It's not theater, but transformation. It's listening deeply, building connection, and developing trust under pressure.

Improvisers discover and build, where the rest of the world invents. We turn those principles into high-impact, high-trust team experiences.

  • “It was wonderful to see everyone burst out of their normal, reserved shells to laugh and engage with each other — even on Zoom, you could see new and stronger connections being forged. Highly recommended!”

    VP People @ Boulevard

  • "Riff is not only experienced in improv, but in improv for business leaders. There were important lessons learned, and for us it was also a great way to laugh and feel connected to our team after a wild year. I appreciated how they kept things tight and on schedule, and I feel more companies would benefit from such an exercise in the workplace."

    Vice President @ Lumen Technologies

  • “Riff led a customized corporate team building exercise for our team that allowed us to be creative and build on each other’s ideas, and ultimately reminded us of the importance of listening and staying present. We found our time with them invaluable and a great use of our team’s time.”

    Head of Learning @ AWS Educate

  • “My team was fully engaged mainly because Riff knows how to create a comfortable, playful and fun environment. Feedback from the group was very positive, one said it was a great way to connect with people that they don't normally don't get to spend time with. Others said they just had so much of fun.”

    Learning Development Director @ Snap Inc.

  • “Our team members have varying strengths and the workshop Riff carefully put together presented everyone with a challenge in a fun and enlightening way. We have noticed such an improvement and a refreshing energy in our team since the workshop. They are slowing down to take a breath before their next move which, in turn, enhances the quality of their work.”
