What if one of the most powerful ways to strengthen your coaching wasn’t another framework — but play?

In this episode of The Coaching Book Club Podcast, Christy and Ken explore Coaching with a Twist: Improv for Coaches by Betsy Salkind and Amy Washawsky — a practical and surprisingly joyful guide to strengthening coaching skills through improvisation.

This conversation dives into:

• Why improvisation is the heart of coaching
• The power of “Yes, and” in client partnership
• How clear agreements free your brain to be present
• Why “there are no mistakes” changes everything
• Skillful interruption (without losing trust)
• How play creates embodied learning — not just cognitive insight

If you’ve ever felt pressure to “get it right” in coaching, this episode will feel like an exhale.

Because presence comes before tools.

And sometimes the best way to deepen your craft… is to practice differently.
