YES, AND How Improvisation Reverses "No, But" Thinking and Improves Creativity and Collaboration-- Lessons from the Second City

Narrating a most engaging lesson on being productive and influencing others at work, Alan Winter communicates a natural enthusiasm that makes you like him right away and trust his understanding of the authors’ message. His vocal personality, pacing, and articulation draw listeners in and make them want to stay connected. The two authors are executives at the famed Second City improv theater. They describe how people in any type of work group can be more authentic and how they can use their creativity and emotional intelligence to energize a work team and move them forward with a project. The seven steps offered are focused on staying loose, taking the initiative, and, above all, learning to not be afraid to express your spontaneous, productive self. T.W.
