Improvisation for Coaches and Leaders

An AC Coaching Conversation with Julie Flower

In this interview, Julie Flower explores what improvisation is, how it's merged into her coaching and how we can build deep connections within ourselves and create a safe setting with experimental qualities for ourselves and our clients.

Improvisation is about unscripted creativity, whether on stage, in a coaching session or the boardroom. It is about developing our self-awareness and skills to enable us to thrive in uncertainty and support others.

Improv theatre offers powerful principles and practical exercises for coach development and client learning, harnessing the potential of advanced and integrated practice to partner with clients and embrace the unknown.
