As a leader, it’s up to you to keep your team or organization afloat. That’s challenging enough when everything is mostly going right, but sometimes things go wrong. In this course, executive coach Kathy Klotz-Guest guides you through the intersecting world of improvisation and business. Kathy explains how improvisation can help you lead more effectively, whatever your business environment, and shows you how to build space for the psychological safety that’s key for high-performing people, teams, and cultures.
