Improv for Techies
Improv isn't just about comedy. It's a practice that requires presence, curiosity without judgement, and building on what others bring. A skillset that can make a better engineer, teammate, or leader.
Lian's improv inspired workshops help engineers, product folks, and community contributors listen actively, speak confidently, and act collaboratively.
