About this Event

Join Us for The "Yes, And" Effect!

Stop overthinking and start connecting. Join us for an interactive workshop and book signing to master improv techniques for work and life.
Is your default "Yes, but..." or "Yes, and..."?
In today's fast-paced, often disconnected professional world, the ability to adapt, collaborate, and create in real-time is more critical than ever. Join author Kesinee Angkustsiri Yip , an award-winning communications strategist and Stanford LEAD alumna who helps executives master "Yes, and..." techniques to supercharge professional creativity and connection. Join her at Ada’s Technical Books & Cafe for a transformative workshop that bridges the gap between improvisational theater and professional success. Based on the book , this session isn't about being "funny"—it's about being effective. We will dive into the core principles of improv to help you:

  • Remove Mental Blockers: Shift from a mindset of resistance to one of possibility and "radical trust".
  • Communicate with Spontaneity: Master the art of thinking on your feet and leading teams with confidence, even when the script changes.
  • Foster Creative Innovation: Learn how to turn every "No" into a "Yes, and..." to unlock higher performance and team synchronicity.

Who should attend?
This event is designed for forward-thinking leaders, tech professionals, and anyone ready to live a braver, more courageous life. No previous improv experience is required—just a willingness to participate and play.
Schedule:

  • Welcome + Intro
  • My Story
  • Interactive exercises: 15-30 minutes of interactive exercises and insights.
  • Q&A
  • Book Signing & Informal Conversation: Meet the author and grab a signed copy of "Yes, and..." for Success.
