To stand out in a competitive marketplace as a strong communicator, you need to master creativity, harness empathy and embody playfulness. These seemingly "soft" skills help us take the unexpected in stride, work well with others and think on our feet.
So how can we develop these "soft" skills?
Improvise. We all improvise every day.
Every interaction is an improvised scene where we are the actor, writer, and director. When we study improv, we look at how we can improvise effectively. How can we be better at our performances as leaders, team members, teachers, students, partners, parents, innovators, and managers?
