In Improv Yourself, he'll show you how to use humor and spontaneity to improve your business performance. In fact, you already have improv skills you use every day-in meetings, sales calls, brainstorming sessions, or even just while hanging around the water cooler. But you probably didn't know that by mastering your improv skills you can become more productive and dynamic professionally, have more fun and rewarding business interactions, and achieve at a higher level than ever before. Improv Yourself features exercises and games specially designed to refine your "improvability"-and make you more comfortable with the process of creation, the skill of spontaneity, and the expert use of humor. You'll become a more innovative business thinker and have more fun at work and at home. You'll also learn the fundamentals of improvisation and understand improv theory as it relates to business. With the skills you'll learn from Improv Yourself, you will improve your ability to:* Think and act on your feet* Quickly respond to changing circumstances* Generate new business ideas* Handle a crisis with speed and flexibility* Take risks and reap the rewards* Tap into your sense of humor when you need it mostWith practice, you too can nurture your improvisational skills and develop lightning-fast EBooks, Books~~Business & Economics~~Development~~Business Development, Improv-Yourself~~Joseph-A-Keefe, 1250707, Improv Yourself: Business Spontaneity at the Speed of Thought, Joseph A.
