Founder

SUE is the Founder and Director of ImprovWorks. Her experience includes a BA in Education and over 25 years of teaching, performing and adapting and widely applying the techniques of improvisation. She approaches improv training as a powerful and joyful way to peel away constraints, restraints and inhibitions, allowing the naturally expressive, collaborative and creative self to emerge.

In addition to being a skilled teacher in ImprovWorks' public workshop program, Sue is a dynamic corporate facilitator, an engaging speaker, an author (Working with Groups to Enhance Relationships, Whole Person Assoc.), the director and a regular performer with San Francisco's longest-running improvisational theater company, "Flash Family".  After so many years of performing with a troupe, Sue chose to walk out on a limb and try a one-woman improv show:  "Sue & Friends" bringing the audience into the show in as many ways as possible.

Also, she has been a Specialty Staff member of the year-long Co-Active Leadership Program since its inception eight years ago, and was invited to go to Barcelona three times over the past two years to train the European leadership groups.  This has sparked a fire to bring her work to more corners of the world: Paris, London, Finland, Norway and Sweden.  

Her current passion is training trainers and consulting on how to design powerful experiential workshops.
