Riff is a leadership and team performance consultancy that uses improv to grow teams and leaders
Our Differentiators
We combine the art of improvisation with deep expertise in finance, tech, and people strategy to design and deliver programs that land—fast.
We co-design every program with you. It’s never one-size-fits-all. It’s one-size-fits-your-team-now.
We drive accountability, and we build for outcomes. Our sessions set achievable, aspirational outcomes, and we reinforce learning with coaching and follow-through, because alignment and growth aren’t one-time events.
Our Approach
Just truth.
No scripts.
Just practice.
No lectures.
Just tension-tested tools.
No theory.
Improv unlocks three underused leadership muscles:
Agility
under pressure
Authentic presence
in every room
Emotional adaptability
in uncertainty
And yes—it’s fun. Laughter creates safety. Safety creates honesty. Honesty builds trust. Trust moves teams.
Our Story
From Riff Founder Jeff Mondoro
I was 24 the first time I delivered a presentation without shaking — and improv let me do it.
For a young professional paralyzed by the question, “What if I get this wrong?” improv offered a simple answer: here, there is no wrong. There is no script. There is just listening, noticing, reacting, and responding.
Improv gave me the posture that perfect is a fallacy. It gave me freedom to create, to explore, to not know, to discover. And the comfort to rely on those around me, because for the most part, we all want each other to succeed.
