Leading with Improvisation

Become the leader people trust, follow, and feel energized around.

You’re expected to lead through constant change, navigate messy human dynamics, and still show up steady and inspiring. With improvisation, you finally get a practical toolkit that helps you stay present, creative, and confident—no matter what the day throws at you.

Welcome to the first installment of Leading with Improvisation - The Iceland Edition.

Discover why improvisation is such a strong leadership toolkit

Kat & Bård show you why improvisation isn’t about being spontaneous or funny, but about mastering the real skills leaders need today—deep trust, presence, adaptability, and creating momentum even when the path isn’t clear.

Recognize the challenges - get inspired by the leadership stories

Each chapter opens with real stories from the remarkable Icelandic leaders we sat down with — honest moments that echo the challenges you’ll instantly recognize in your own leadership world.

Leadership is an adventure — not a script.

And sometimes that adventure includes sideways rain and honest response! Improvisation teaches you to meet every moment with presence and confidence, as we try to do in this less-than-a-minute-long teaser.

Hey there!

We are delighted to see you here!

Just by you reading this, we know we are a good match. The curiosity you are demonstrating right now is all the attitude you need to really get great benefit from this training platform.

"Leading with Improvisation" is the heart and soul of our combined 45 years+ experiences - and we are here to guide you finding your passion and powering your team.

We’ve both spent our lives watching leaders struggle with the same tensions - wanting to be open, yet feeling they must have all the answers; wanting to inspire, yet pulled in a thousand directions. What keeps us devoted to this work is seeing what happens when leaders drop the armor, trust themselves, and reconnect with what makes them human. That moment changes everything - how teams feel, how challenges are met, and how organizations come alive.

It all starts right here - with our first installment: "The Iceland Edition".

Thank you for being here!

Our first installment of "Leading with Improvisation" was recorded in amazing Iceland - a country with a truly unique vibe and a thriving business culture. The achievements made in an island of merely 400.000 people is astonishing, and the people will steal your heart. Also! In today's world, we wanted a poetic bridge between North America and Europe.

A training designed for the modern leader who wants do inspire in a tumbling world

We made this training as a response to the way we see the world is developing.
If any of these statements ring true to you, we have you close at heart:

"My team is not motivated any longer - we could do better"
"My voice is not heard - I lack the power to influence"
"I am on the verge of burnout"
"We are not moving forward or innovating fast enough"
"People are leaving my team"
"We are all so busy that we really can't do our jobs"

This is not your ordinary "powerpoint on tape" video training. All modules comes with inspiring stories you can link to, advice from our toolbox of more than 45 years of experience, as well as guides and worksheets that will allow you and your peers to quickly notice the differences that applied improvisation can do for your team.

Here are some of the companies we have been lucky to work with over the years:

"After just 2 weeks of working with Taylor, I’ve made some massive shifts in my mindset and my daily routine. I’m hopeful for the new future I’m creating."

Maisy Bouchey

"This time last year, I was a frazzled mother of 2, just barely getting by. Thanks to Taylor’s courses, I’m a happier, healthier person for myself and my family."
