There are nine million courses in the world talking about how to be a better speaker. Lots of people will teach you how to say stuff, but no one ever teaches us how to hear what is being said. The truth is, there are very few resources for teaching people how to be better listeners.
One of the key attributes of being a leader, manager or sales professional is the ability to effectively listen. In this exercise we discuss exercises, ideas and interviews all compiled around the art and practice of listening. We discuss pitfalls, best practices, and management techniques to build relationships and create happy and productive teams.
Learn from Andrew McMasters, a professional actor and improviser, how to use the skills and lessons of acting to effectively listen, connect with empathy and build relationships through the art of listening.

Effective uses of Improv for Business Executives
What is Effective Improv for Business Executives? Improv workshops focus on team building and communication skills that are necesasry for teams to be successful. An example of a skill covered is the skill of Yes, and. 'Yes, and' is a short hand for accepting and building on offers.
Everyday people give you offers. When we are stuck in our own ideas or preconceived notions, we can't accept these ideas as 'offers' or a new idea. Practicing 'Yes, and' helps us to recognize when new ideas are presented, how we react to them, and then how we can use them to build something better than what we currently have. It is also tool for business communication to build consensus (see the post on 'What's under the Van.')
Find out what the power of 'Yes, and' can do for your team! Email us today.
