Presentation Details:
A Yes, And Culture
We live a in a world of mistakes, denials and roadblocks. How can we create an innovative and positive environment of support, acceptance, collaboration and progress that fosters creativity and talent? Understanding the principle of Yes, and in improv helps us overcome mistakes, be present and move forward – individually and together. Through group discussion and activities, explore and practice the strengths of accepting (yes) and building (and).
