Improv For Business-A Note From Red
It's not comedy, it's communication.
Here’s a little secret: Improv isn’t just for the stage — life is one big improv show. Every day, we navigate unscripted situations, whether it's running into an old friend or handling unexpected questions in a meeting. Congratulations — you're already a natural improviser!
For sales professionals, embracing improv skills is a game-changer. It teaches you to think on your feet, adapt quickly, and connect with clients. When caught off guard in a pitch, improv lets you pivot with confidence. And if needed, you can always say, “Great question, let me get back to you on that!”
Managers and executives also benefit from these skills. Effective communication is the foundation of successful businesses, and like improv, it requires listening, adapting, and responding thoughtfully to build trust and drive results.
The improv principle “Yes, and…” works wonders in business. Acknowledge concerns and add something positive. For example, “Yes, I hear your cost concerns, and I have creative solutions to share.” That simple shift builds rapport and shows you as a problem-solver.
While improv isn’t all about comedy, a little humor can disarm tension and build connections — just don’t overdo it with dad jokes! By blending active listening, humor, and adaptability, you can create memorable client interactions and stand out in business.
Improv helps us reframe challenges, making us more resilient and confident. So, next time you face an unexpected moment, think like an improviser, trust your instincts, and remember my mantra: “Smile, nod, and pivot like you planned it all along!”
