Senior🎓
Top SchoolSarah Filman is a certified leadership coach and facilitator who blends a decade-plus of tech leadership with play-based practices to help leaders and teams communicate, collaborate, and grow. Formerly a senior product and education leader at Microsoft and Code.org, she pairs product and organizational strategy with experiential learning to solve complex people and system challenges. She designs and delivers workshops, coaching, and improv-informed training that surface empathy, curiosity, and practical processes—often punctuated with well-timed humor and a strategically placed pun. Passionate about using play and improv to dismantle white supremacy culture, she emphasizes practicing discomfort, deep listening, and building on others’ ideas as core skills for equity-centered conversations. Based in Boston, she coaches across startups and nonprofits and offers complimentary sessions to explore how play can unlock different ways of working.
