Hello I’m Sarah Hübner, the Improverin®
I’m a bilingual British-German facilitator who helps individuals and teams shine and thrive. I create spaces where trust and collaboration spark connection and productivity. Laughter is part of the equation and often the key to unlocking new ideas and solutions.
In 2020, I took a leap of faith and left my secure job to pursue my passion for team performance, communication, and leadership through applied improvisation techniques. Since then, I’ve been working with both individuals and teams to achieve more together.
With over 20 years of experience across Europe, the U.S., and China, I blend creativity with practical skills to strengthen collaboration. I lead workshops, deliver inspiring talks, and facilitate meetings—all aimed at sparking positive change. Each session becomes a little journey of discovery where we grow together.
When I’m not facilitating, you’ll find me shooting hoops with the TSV Solln women’s basketball team or diving into novels from across the globe.

More About the Improverin®

„I am thrilled! I am completing this online course with new clarity and motivation, and I am already looking forward to applying what I have learned. Sarah is a great facilitator: empathetic, competent, humorous, clear in the mind and warm in the heart. Structured and creative – a great and rare combination. I also know Sarah as an improvisation coach, and the following applies to both experiences: It is a pleasure and a great benefit to work with her!“

„Giving presentations to Chinese and international customers makes a large percentage of my daily work. I used to get very nervous and lacked some essential skills required for public speaking. I asked Sarah to help me improve my presentations skills. I knew her from when she lived in China where she had taught me valuable theatre improvisation skills. After just some hours of online presentation training sessions, I felt huge progress. Now, I speak confidently and I am more aware of the audience. I can connect with the customers and build better relationships which is great for business. Sarah is an excellent coach. I am continuing to train with her to continuously become a better marketing professional.“
