As a result of changes that recently took place at The Second City, Tom Yorton will not be able to participate in ICMA’s conference-closing Celebration of Service in Seattle. Fortunately for ICMA, the co-author of Yes, And…, Kelly Leonard is willing and able to step in and conduct the session.

Kelly Leonard is executive vice president of The Second City and president of Second City Theatricals. He has worked at The Second City since 1988 and has overseen productions with such notable performers as Stephen Colbert, Tina Fey, Steve Carell, Seth Meyers,  and a host of others.

Leonard co-founded Second City Theatricals, the division of the company that develops live entertainment all over the world. He has received many honors, including an honorary doctorate from his alma mater, Lake Forest College. His first book, Yes, And…, was published to critical acclaim in February 2015 by Harper Collins.

Tapping comedy and the principles of improvisation, in his keynote, Using Improvisation to Improve Creativity and Collaboration, Leonard will demonstrate how to challenge unproductive conventions by using improvisational techniques to develop innovators, encourage adaptable leaders, and build transformational work environments.
