Description
Have you ever been to an improv show? Or even taken an improv class yourself? One of the cardinal rules of improv is NEVER say "no." Your improv partner says, "I see you've caught a bug that makes you dance!" If you say, "No, I haven't," it stops the show in its tracks. It gives the other person nothing to work with. A better answer to this scenario is, "Yes! And it's contagious." Now the other person has something to work with-they've caught the dancing bug as well. And the show can go on. Now, you might be wondering what on earth this has to do with you and how you communicate in your workplace. Well, it turns out that "Yes, and" instead of "no" isn't just helpful in improv comedy. It's actually a great tool to keep ideas and conversations flowing in any scenario, including at work. In this course, we'll explain how this works.
