If you’re a theater kid at heart like me, you know the first rule of improvisational theater: go with the YES (AKA, “yes, and”). On today’s podcast, we’re talking all about YES energy in our work — how our workdays and work relationships are very much like improv, and how applying this rule to our work helps build trust and enable great work to get done. Even if the idea of improv makes you roll your eyes and/or clutch your stomach, you’re safe — every leader will find something of value in this concept. Tune in!

Thanks for listening.
