In this episode of The Coaching Book Club Podcast, Christy and Ken explore the transformative power of improv through Yes, And by Kelly Leonard and Tom Yorton of The Second City. Blending humor with coaching insight, they discuss how improvisational techniques can foster deeper presence, unlock creativity, and shift the way we handle uncertainty in client conversations.

Whether you're navigating imposter syndrome or looking to add spontaneity and playfulness to your coaching, this book—and this episode—offers fresh tools for growth.

Key takeaways include:

  • Letting go of the “script” and coaching in the moment.
  • Using humor and emotional nuance as coaching tools.
  • Turning “I don’t know” into a launchpad for client breakthroughs.

If you're curious how “yes, and” can apply to coaching conversations, this one's for you.
