How to be more Confident and Convincing on the Spot with Improvisational Thinking Creative Skills
Over 95% of communication situations are informal. You might bump into your boss in the corridor, or a client in the elevator, an angry customer in the reception, or receive unexpected questions at a media event or on a conference call. Yet most people (no matter how senior or experienced) have no training for this they are caught off guard without a prepared answer or rehearsed script , and often mess up the chance, creating worse perceptions of themselves or their company. So how do you present, defend, and discuss a position persuasively and fast, while being creative, confident and convincing?
The answer is Neuroplasticity fast, flexible and adaptable thinking. To allow people to deal with situations outside of the expected flowchart. Research shows that scientists involved in the performing arts such as theatre, improvisational comedy, speech-making, debating, etc have a 22 x greater chance than ordinary scientists of winning the Nobel Prize. Because their brains are able to be more adaptive and agile, break out of the box, and generate fresher solutions. Faster!
So this applied improvisational thinking program uses the principles, tools, and mind-sets developed in improvisational comedy, jazz, theatre and even martial arts, to spark new neural connections and better thinking behaviours for their personal and professional life.
