Mastering On The Spot Communication with Applied Improvisation | Seattle

About this class

Preparation and knowledge are essential to success, yet they will not help if you freeze or choke in the middle of doing your interview loop at Amazon, defending your research, answering questions after your pitch to funders, or worrying during a first date.

Spontaneity is a skill, even though it looks magic, and like all skills, your ability grows with practice. While you might have let Spontaneity atrophy thinking it's silly, useless, or childish, it can be a key ingredient for success. The skills of Spontaneity are attainable and easily cultivated in the safe and comfortable atmosphere of this workshop. Using improvisational exercises, insights, and laughter, you will increase your ability to let go of your doubts and think on your feet.

• Turn mistakes into opportunities
