Saying Yes And...The Fundamentals Of Comedy In Business
Success in business is dependent upon collaboration and innovation, and a lack of vulnerability amongst team members causes many new ideas to be squashed before they can flourish. But if team members feel confident that their ideas—both good and bad—will be acknowledged, then a supportive, collaborative, and creative work environment can be established. And all of this can be achieved through the fundamentals of improvisational comedy. Join Monika Smith, acclaimed improviser and instructor, as she explores the power of active listening and saying “Yes, and…,” in order to radically improve communication and morale in your work environment.
