Ep. 115: "Yes, And…" Lessons from Improv expert Bob Kulhan

What can the rules of improv teach us about life and education?

Tons.

In this conversation with Bob Kulhan—improv veteran, executive educator, and founder of Business Improv—we take “Yes, and…” off the stage and into real life, where the stakes are higher and the lessons cut deeper. Bob shows how improv fuels trust, sparks creativity, and equips teachers and leaders to face the unexpected with courage and grace.

Bob’s stories remind us that adaptability isn’t just a skill for the stage; it’s a way of living and leading. Whether in a classroom, a school, or at home, the mindset of improv invites us to listen, engage, and keep showing up—even when things don’t go as planned. This episode is as fun as it is practical, and it might just shift the way you see your work and your relationships.
