Getting to Yes And: The Art of Business Improv Audiobook (Free)

Amidst the deluge of advice for businesspeople, there lies an overlooked tool, a key to thriving in the current fast-paced, unpredictable environment: improvisation. In Addressing ‘Yes And’ veteran improv performer, university or college professor, CEO, and consultant Bob Kulhan unpacks a form of mental agility with powers considerably beyond the entertainment value of humor troupes. Sketching on principles from cognitive and public psychology, behavioral economics, and conversation, Kulhan teaches readers to think on the feet and strategy the most typical business difficulties with fresh eye and openness. He displays how improv techniques such as the ‘Yes, and’ approach, divergent and convergent thinking, and concentrating on getting present can result in more productive conferences, swifter decisions, stronger collaboration, positive discord resolution, mindfulness, and even more. Moving from the given individual to the organizational level, Kulhan compiles time-tested teaching strategies and teaching exercises into an instrumental information that readers can readily put into action either as a party of 1 or a business of thousands.
