Synopsis

Improv at Work is an inspirational guide, designed to transform the stressed and struggling workplace into one of creativity, empowerment, and fun, similar to the environment surrounding improvisational comedy (aka, improv). Professionals with only a few years of work experience to the most competent leaders will draw inspiration from this book to optimize workplace communication, collaboration, and innovation.


In today's workplace, technology shortcuts and overscheduled calendars are hindering our ability to grow the crucial interpersonal skills necessary for high-performing and thriving businesses.

  • Present improv rules and activities to help create a more productive work environment


  • Drive teams to get the most out of work interactions by demonstrating how to draw out and build on ideas, ensuring teammates feel comfortable and confident to bring the best of themselves at work
