We wrote the book
Founder Kat Koppett is a pioneer of applied improvisation. Her book Training to Imagine, now in its third edition, helped establish the field itself.
Organizational Psychology Based
Every exercise is grounded in organizational psychology: how trust forms, how teams decide, how people actually change behavior.
Certified Woman-owned
Koppett is a certified women-owned business, founded and led by a woman who built a global firm from Schenectady, NY.
How It Works
Especially as digital tools and AI are being integrated into our world, human influence, connection, and collaboration become critical differentiators. Advocacy and leadership are learned through practice, feedback, and refinement....
Our programs integrate improvisation, storytelling skills, and motivational theory with feedback and coaching to develop presence, active listening, rapid adaptation, and real-time collaboration, applying them directly to the contexts and mindsets of attorneys.
Led by an Industry Pioneer the work is guided by Kat Koppett, author of Training to Imagine, a foundational text in applied improvisation, currently in its 3rd edition and in use as a textbook in many university undergraduate and MBA programs. She holds a B.F.A. in Drama from NYU and an M.A. in Organizational Psychology from Columbia University.

Improv is not about being funny. It's about being ready.
Applied improvisation trains the mindsets great leaders share: deep listening, adaptability, accepting and building on ideas, and composure when the plan falls apart. Your business runs on those skills every single day.
